Super cozy and homely B&B. Very nice owners with such genuine care for guests. Small details like afternoon charcuterie and local wine really added to the overall welcoming feeling. Highly recommend.

8/10 Very good

Elegance and comfort…this gorgeous home superseded all my bed and breakfast experiences in years! Tastefully decorated with lavish decor makes one feel like royalty! The wine and cheese reception, warm chocolate chip cookies, and friendliness of the staff let me know my stay was going to be a treat. Lovely music playing softly in the gorgeous living room provided a relaxing evening of reading. I spent awhile on the porch, listening to the fountain, overlooking the charming town that is Pacific Grove. Best breakfast ever…cappuccino, quiche, avocado toast and so much more! I didn’t want to leave and lingered a few hours just to take it all in.

Nice place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay at the Charles. Our room was fairly comfortable. Would have preferred a different bathroom set up. (the sink was outside the bathroom and jammed into a nook near the door). The shower head was very low for my husband but fine for me. The snacks and wine in the afternoon were a very nice touch, along with the freshly baked cookies in the evening. The continental breakfast was fine, would have been nice to mix up the offerings a bit. Overall it was a nice place to stay, good location. An easy walk to our favorite restaurant La Mia Cucina. ( and many other restaurants in addition to the waterfront). We love Pacific Grove.

Wonderful Stay – Highly Recommended! My wife and I loved this beautifully designed hotel. We only stayed for one night, but it was truly a great experience thanks to the warm and welcoming hospitality of the wonderful staff—especially Ayan (apologies if the spelling is incorrect) and his wife. The room was clean and very comfortable. Parking was easy and readily available. Breakfast was elegant and perfect—just the right start to our day. The hotel's location is ideal—close to everything you might need and only a 10-minute walk to the beach. We highly recommend this place and will definitely book the same hotel for our next trip to Monterey. Thank you! Saad & Maha

The Staff was top notch! Paula the innkeeper was friendly, welcoming, knew the area well. In a word she was awesome. The room was clean and well maintained! Parking was off the street, and the building is located in a very safe neighborhood just a short walk from Lighthouse Road, the main shopping area.

Our stay was very pleasant. The atmosphere at the Inn is warm and friendly. There is a wine and cheese reception in the evening, but we were in the mood for dinner. The innkeeper gave us excellent suggestions and we found a great place within walking distance. Our room was spacious and comfortable. I will definitely stay at the inn again.

Experiência maravilhosa nesse hotel! Quarto extremamente limpo e confortável! Atendimento excepcional! O café da manhã é uma delícia, coisa rara nessa região, digo isso, pois pesquisei muito antes de fechar a estadia. Podem confiar!

Exemplary B&B

Wow! From the moment of walking into the door and saying hello to two mornings later in checking out -- fantastic!! They really take care in making you feel treasured here. The in is clean, comfortable, and the innkeepers truly go the extra mile. The evening wine and snacks, the breakfast, the friendliness was a true reminder that staying in a hotel doesn't need to be plug and play. My room was comfy and so was the bed! I appreciated the closeness to the downtown street and just a couple blocks away from restaurants. If you're interested in Lover's Point, an easy walk to the water as well. Thanks for an incredible stay!! I'll be back.

6/10 Good

Family rooms - i.e. the rooms with 1 queen and 2 twins or 1 king and 2 twins are located in the basement. The basement really is the basement. Windows only opened up to the sidewalk. Basement rooms had a musty and humid odor - unpleasant. Additionally, Room 101, the windows opened toward the street that was perhaps 10 feet away at ground level. Window frame around the windows were warped and looks water damaged, leaving separation cracks in the window frame that allowed daylight in and extremely loud traffic noise. People that were talking on the sidewalk sounded like they were in the room with you. The home is very uniquely decorated and the inn keeper was very friendly and inviting. However, at least for the basement rooms (which is both of the family rooms), the property definitely was showing it's age. The bathroom was extremely cramped, with brown tiles from the 70's everywhere and the shower head had a lot of brown hard water stains. It's possible the ground floor and above rooms were nicer, but the basement rooms, I would not recommend.

Worst experience ever. Underground room!! As you can see the foreground photo of the hotel, it seems 3 story house. However, our room was located in the underground. You can see the walls or legs of pedestrians!

Great service and good breakfast. Lessons learned call hotel property before reserving lodging on Expedia since I had reserved 2 bedroom and spoke with Expedia worker yet only 1 bed was reserved even though I paid for 2. Yikes!!
