Historic building with small historic rooms
They let a dog sneak in who barked all night. Other than that it was nice. The rooms are very small. No dresser or any way to lay out your cloths. There is an armoire if you want to hang up your socks. You have to live out of your suitcase. They do offer a free nightly glass of wine. Very nice sitting in the parlor.

Great value, a step back in time. Updated bathroom
Lovely older inn with off street parking, happy hour sparkling wine, all day tea/coffee and simple continental brekkie. Simple decor but very comfy sitting room with fireplace and friendly humans. Staff were accommodating for early arrival and it is walkable to Pacific Grove shops and restaurants, one block to magical Lovers Lane beach with lots of seal pups to marvel at a short walk along the bike path. Just a lovely time!

Such a cute, historical inn to stay! The rooms are pretty old, so factor that in, but very cute and rustic common rooms. Not much for breakfast, but there are many cute cafes nearby if you have any dietary restrictions like me. Loved exploring the inn with all the wintery lights!

So so
It was ok. Super old. Lukewarm staff. Clean for how old it was. New carpet is a 100% necessity and maybe an option other than yogurt for “breakfast” would be nice.
Staff was friendly but didn’t seem too excited to be there.

There was a cat meowing and pawing at our door from 3:30 a.m. until 6:30 a.m. Very disturbing. Staff great! Beautiful old historic hotel. Bed just ok.

The front desk staff was rude and abusive when they did not know guests were within earshot, with particular focus on disparaging guests whom they deem LGBT+. This is disappointing, as Kirkwood Collection properties are otherwise wonderful, but being mistreated by staff makes it hard to give them business.

It was fun to stay in this historic property. Some drawbacks included a very soft bed and no elevator.

Excellent staff. We loved the location and our room, we stayed in one of the cottages. Our only mild complaint is that the room smelled old. We felt like we got our money’s worth with the breakfast and evening champagne. Overall very cute and would probably stay again.

My wife did not like the bed. Though the windows opened, there was no breeze and street noises from passing vehicles continued through the night. A box fan was provided but there was no outlet near the windows so cooler air could be drawn in. Finally, I was not expecting a third-party booking fee at check-in!
We liked being within walking distance of restaurants. And there was a nice garden area with chairs.
