Nice hotel, older Bldg built in 1915. Steep stairs, could use some TLC. Fridge, microwave. Couldn't turn the TV volume over 32 so you could barely hear it. Quiet area, deer, squirrels, no screens on the windows, but they do open.
Good price for the area.

Overall my stay was wonderful. The hotel is a little run down but it has a charming quaintness that I loved about it. We stayed during the off season for the monarchs so we didn't get to see why butterflies but I'm sure that in prime season I would have given 5 stars. If you like a cottagey quaint vibe I recommend staying here.

Quiet peaceful setting with massive trees, smell of eucalyptus in the air, visiting sweet deer, nice friendly staff and other quests -
Also the nice high vaulted wood ceilings and large table by front window made it so comfortable and livable - add in fireplace (we did have some minor issues with that), TV, microwave, mini frig, coffee maker along with very good coffee and fresh water in office covered all the bases.

I loved everything about the property. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom very clean. Good hot water. Has a tub if you need a bath rather than a shower. Plenty of places to put shampoo soap on the ledges. There was an ironing board and an iron, a nice walk in closet with plenty hangers and shelves. What I liked most was the quiet. There were two dogs next door that barked a bit but my own dogs bark too so that didn't bother me. Also, it is right next to the butterfly wintering over refuge. No butterflies in spring but a nice little walk through the paths. the hotel is in a little neighborhood with a lawn, very tall trees, birds and 4 small deer! so glad I came here rather than an 'in town' hotel. I would stay here again. parking was right next to the room and safe

Staff was friendly! We used the hot tub and it was nice. The pool and area was clean and nice. Pool was too chilly to swim.
The room was okay. There was only one chair to sit on and it was the “desk chair.” Cute motel!

Stay at Butterfly regularly (although the staff doesn't seem to know that) because of its location, room size, quietness, and reasonable dog charge. Many lodgings disqualify themselves by either a \"no pet\" or \"sure, bring Fido, but you are going to pay\" policy. I'm sure owners can site experiences for that but I've yet to witness a \"bad dog\" at a good inn. Reminds me of credit card companies that hope you are late so they can hammer you with fees. Highly recommend Butterfly Grove, our favorite out of the half dozen in P.G. we've stayed at. We booked a return in late December.

Room was very clean & spacious. Could use a new bed, seemed worn down. Unfortunately we had to hear the kid next door constantly screaming and running/banging on things starting at 6am every day so I'm guessing the walls aren't very thick. It is a older place so expect it to show it but the price point was good. I do wish they offered pastries or muffins in the mornings, that would be helpful so we wouldn't have to try to get in somewhere to eat and spend another $60 just onbreakfast

Staff is friendly and parking is easy. We left a souvenir in our room and they are happy to ship it to our home for us.

New spot to add to our rotation, LOVED it

I took my daughter and her friend for a weekend in Monterey, Due to the weather we decided to stay somewhere other than our usual spot on the beach. I found this amazing place which we loved, and it was literally next to the monarch sanctuary. The only thing that wasn’t 5 stars was the bed, I have a bad back and it wasn’t very comfortable for me. We stayed in the 2 bedroom family suite and my daughter loved 1 bed not the other.

The staff could not be more helpful, kind and accommodating. I forgot a charger and the front desk gentleman got one from his car for me to borrow for the evening. Another gentleman outside directed me to my room, offered to help with anything I needed and was very pleasant to speak with. The checkout last on duty was extremely kind as well.

There were deer roaming in the grass in front of our room that my dog wanted to play with, they allowed my 75 lb dog to stay for free. That’s almost unheard of. Love this place and will recommend to everyone!

Thirty-five years ago, we lived near the ocean and since moving, return a few times a year for a fix and to reminisce. We've decided on Pacific Grove and have stayed in most all the little dog-friendly inns in the Asilomar area. Last week was our first at Butterfly Grove. It won't be our last, Quiet, clean and spacious king room along with $25 per dog not per night but per stay. There was a fireplace but no thermostat or heat vent evident.The room somehow stayed comfortable - a mystery. When rates are reasonable and our schedule allows, we'll stay at Butterfly Grove.
