This quaint and pleasant inn has beautiful rooms and the BEST location a short walk from the gorgeous rocky shore of the pacific. Deer were happily grazing on the golf course across the street. It’s a picture perfect escape from life.

Everything was good and clean the only gripe I have is that there were ants near our sliding glass door on the second floor. Also the AC unit didn’t allow us to change the temperature even when following the instructions. Thankfully it was relatively chilly at night so it was alright.

I was greeted at check-in by a warm and friendly woman and was very excited to stay at the Lighthouse Lodge for the first time. I was traveling with a friend so we booked two rooms. His room was missing the glass doors that cover the gas fireplace and my room had almost no water pressure, the shower head dripped continuously, despite efforts to stop the drip and the door to the room was not weatherstripped and cold air rushed into the space via at least 1/2\" gap between the door and jamb. Even though it is beautifully situated in Pacific Grove, I don't think I'll reutrn due to the obvious lack of upkeep.

The room is old and needs a remodel. We had to park in the garage and because of the rain the garage was completely flooded. When we arrived and we exited our vehicle, our feet were immediately soaked completely. They have laundry carts in the garage, making it impossible to park when half of the spaces are full of their equipment. I would not stay here again.

Cute place in nature. Took a morning early walk and spotted deers and sea lions in the walk along the shores. Best of all is the hospitality. Check-in and check-out was with very friendly staff. The breakfast staff were very hospitable as well. The older generation staff really helped make me feel welcomed. I would definitely stay here again.

I booked a stay here pretty last minute on a holiday weekend. I was thrilled they had availability!!! Everything was great. Yes there could some minor cosmetic fixes (chipped soap dish, things like that.) FAR more important to me was the hospitality of the staff (100/10) and location was incredible without 400+ per night cost. I was a little disappointed we weren’t in the cottages (the cute little properties shown on website) but got over that quickly because we were there to have fun walking around shopping and sunset picnicking. The free breakfast offered wasn’t quite what I thought (a snack bag of juice tangerine granola bar and packaged muffin) but that was ok too because we found an amazing brunch cafe! There’s so many to choose from. Would return.

Very misleading by the photo...This was NOT the same place as where the pictured showed...Expedia ended up booking us at a hotel up the street from the photo shown...It was also located 20 feet from the cemetery so our downstairs patio view was the gravesides. NOT WHAT WE SIGNED UP FOR. We asked to change rooms but was told they were all sold out. After staying up until 12:30am for new years, the hotel staff started vacuuming up stairs and next door at 6:55a.m. so we hardly got any sleep that night. We paid more for the fireplace room and the fireplace was hidden on the far side of the bed where you couldn't see it and gave out no heat ...Not the best experience and wished the hotel was the one in the photo shown...Our expectation was not met.

We booked a room with two double beds but called before booking to confirm that we could get a roll away bed because we have an 8-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old exchange student (male). The lady we spoke to confirmed that yes, we could get a roll away bed at no extra charge. Upon check in, we requested the roll away bed and were then told (by the same lady that we had just spoken to that morning) that we were now not able to get a roll away bed. She was very snippy about it and not understanding at all about the age and sex difference of our kids and the obvious inappropriateness of them sharing a bed. My husband went back to reception to speak about the roll away bed and a man said he would send one up no problem. After we waited for a while, my husband called back down to check on the status, and the same lady got back on and again, said that we could not have one. Instead of addressing the inconsistencies in what we have been being told by staff members all day about the roll away bed (herself included), she went as far as to give her own (unasked for) opinions on our family’s sleeping arrangements: suggesting that “it looks like” my husband should sleep in a bed with our exchange student and I should sleep in a bed with our daughter. We would not recommend staying here if looking for a place with consistency, kindness, and understanding among staff members.

This is the second time we’ve stayed here. Very charming cottages with a lot of appeal. It’s a few blocks from downtown Pacific Grove but the overall location is great. Rooms are pretty basic but everything is clean and in working condition. Breakfast is kind of basic but it’s nice that they do it. The whole property just gives off a cool coastal vibe.

We arrived the reception was very kind and helpful our check in was quick no issues, upon entering to our room there was only one bed and the original reservation had a bed and sofa bed “cottage jr suite” and the room did not have the sofa bed. I called the front desk and were able to change us to a room that was not a cottage which it was not as comfortable as the cottage. My daughter when to use the bathroom and said the bathroom was wet I looked and cleaned it up thinking someone spilled water but no one had showered so I wiped the floor down and in the morning the floor was wet again and no one had used the restroom after wiping it down.

I was told well we upgraded you already from a Queen to a king with a fire place so we won’t down grade you which to be honest the reservation was made in August so I didn’t remember and no one mentioned that when we checked in he said we could move… the fitted sheets were not deep enough to stay put overall will never stay there again I would zero stars

We stayed in the Junior Cottage for less than $200/night. It was super cute, cozy and I wish we could have stayed longer. The reviews on Expedia and Google made us question committing to this place, so we viewed the cottage before we booked it. It was just fine, as advertised. The bathroom is a little dated and not great lighting but it was clean and functioned well. The fireplace was cute but it was too warm for us to use. No AC because that’s not a thing in Cali!! Great walk to the beach, less than 5 min walk.
