Check-in left us waiting 30 minutes while they cleaned the room past the 3:00 check in hour. No apologies. The digital key did not work and we were given a physical key. The room had obviously been cleaned but was in disrepair. With holes in the wall and caked in dirt and dust everywhere. I washed off the tv remote but it remained so sticky that it was unpleasant to touch. The bed was so ridiculously hard, it was all but impossible to sleep.

The good:
1. Has a full kitchen if that’s something you need
2. Square footage is bigger than traditional motor room. The bedroom has a door separate from the kitchen and the couch area.
3. It’s close to the beach about 5-10 minutes walk. I love that.
4. The area of pacific grove is very quiet and has a lot of trees. You will see deer and wildlife roaming the property.
5. There are eating areas with benches and seatings throughout the property. Very useful if you want to picnic and eat outside.
6. Some rooms have patio seatings, multiple rooms.

The bad:
1. You can hear everyone talking and every conversation is heard to the detailed!! If you have a loud neighbor, it will be unfortunate.
2. The bed is hard
3. The bathroom does not have lock and if you have multiple staying there, anyone can walk into the bathroom. That’s kind of unnerving. No privacy for the bathroom.
4. There is no air conditioning or fan. Most of the time you don’t need an air conditioning but you will need some kind of fan or air movement. You will need to open all the windows to get fresh air in.

Depending on what is important to you, you will rate the cottage accordingly. For me, the bed comfort is extremely important and not having a lock for the bathroom is something that can be easily fixed.

I rate this as 3/5 as compared to other places you can stay at for the same price point. They have room for improvement. It would not be my first choice to come back here.

The location is excellent, quiet and cute. We were a late arrival and the staff was there to help us get in. There was plenty of parking. We didn’t use the kitchen but did use the refrigerator. If we stayed more than a night I’m sure we would have used more of the amenities.

The beds were comfy and we all got a good nights sleep.

While the place was clean it is obviously old and has not been upgraded. Our biggest complaint was ants in the bathroom. We didn’t realize they were an issue and the next morning they were all over the sink and also in my medication packet. The bed was comfortable. There was a fridge, toaster, coffee maker and small microwave but we didn’t realize not use them. The Inn was quiet and close to the beach.

We stayed in the King Cottage, and we loved it! The bed was comfortable, there was a desk, couch, fireplace, closet, and kitchenette. The restroom had a porcelain tub and was as spotless as was the rest of the cottage. The property was beautiful and the landscaping was breathtaking with all the variety of plants, flowers, and fountains. We could smell lavender all day! Management was friendly and helpful, and there were pastries, teas, coffee, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, and cookies out to enjoy in the morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our charming cottage in the woods and our walks to Asilomar Beach, which was only minutes from the property as were other attractions in and near Monterey.

This is a really cute place to stay. The outside grounds are beautiful. They have a lot of flowers and a lot of care and thought is put into the landscaping.

It is very close to the ocean which is nice.

The room was great. It was pretty clean. Im a professional house cleaner so of course I found things here and there but I think it's just because my brain is trained to do that. But overall I felt like it was tidy.

The only complaint I had is it was a little warm at night. Even opening the windows the cross Breeze didn't quite come through so we were warm. They do have a fan in there which was helpful but it only points directly at your face which was a little uncomfortable for the whole night. The bed was comfortable though. Shower had strong water pressure.

We would stay there again.

My husband and I stayed here for the 4th of July weekend. It was a lovely small and quite area. Beds were comfy and the room was clean. Unfortunately my husband hurt his back the Thursday before we left and I got food poisoning on the 4th at a restaurant we had breakfast at. Long story short, our plans for the 4th we're cut shot due to some issues we each had. So we spent more time in the room than we would have liked but it worked for out for the best. We still had a nice time and things were looking up on Sunday as we were checking out and still got to enjoy our weekend. As we were leaving we always ask each other if we would stay at the place again. And this was an absolute yes!! Can't wait to be back.

Property is poorly maintained. Walls are thin, inside and outside. Not good for family at all. Floors are dirty. All of the few electrical outlets are almost falling out of the walls and don't connect solidly. The last night of our stay there was a huge party in the \"cabin\" next door which prevented my wife and daughter from getting any sleep. I used quotations because these are more like apartments than stand alone cabins. Just because it is in a wooded area does not make it a cabin.

Upon arrival with the Monterey Bay on my left, I pulled up to the adorable cottages. Staff very nice and helpful. Check-in was easy. They didn’t even ask for a deposit. We proceeded to our room, which was the two bedroom cottage. It was an adorable mini apartment nestled in the woods, surrounded by grass and trees. Very quiet you could hear the ocean breeze in the distance. The rooms were spacious. The pets were comfortable. The kitchen had full amenities. Bathroom was large TV and each room. The entire state was super quiet and serene. There was a fun hot restaurant walkable we walked to the beach. There was a gazebo even a golf course with huge deer and fern right next to the golfers. Although the cottage was a little pricey, it was definitely worth it and I will come back again. I’d have to say this is one of my favorite vacation spots. another fun note we brought our small dog which enjoyed the trail around the cottages the grass there were a lot of chairs and benches for us to sit and enjoy the peacefulness. Definitely a good spot for the pets.

Very cute exterior. Beautiful greenery surrounding the cottages with trees, gardens, fountains and seating areas. You can see the ocean from the front of the hotel and at night, if you leave your window open, you can hear the waves from your room.

Small and cute internal structure with decent furniture. The room was pretty clean. I noticed one or two ants in the room but given the territory it's kind of inevitable and wasn't enough to concern me. Shower water pressure was great!

Parking was fine. No issues.

I didn't interact much with staff except when I checked out. Very friendly.

Be careful at night near the trash cans. Raccoons like to raid the garbage cans.

I would stay here again and would definitely recommend to others. Walking distance to alot of restaurants, shops and the ocean trail. Very convenient location. I felt safe during the day and at night.

We won’t want to stay in 108 again very noisy upstairs dropping things and loud coming in.
The walls must be thin. I took a cup of milk dated 5/8 when I got back to the room it was all curdled. I’m thankful I didn’t drink it. It was not the best day they changed the time to come in to get the continental breakfast to 8 AM. Today when we left, we were five minutes before eight. It wasn’t even a light on. They are always kind and good and it’s pretty well maintained. Somethings wrong with the shower. Also it comes out so fast it almost pressure washes you. I’ve stayed in that cottage before and I never noticed any of those things.
