Great location in Pacific Grove. Walkable to downtown restaurants and shops. Easy access to the beach and bike-walking path to Monterey aquarium and Cannery Row. Note: this is an old Victorian house, so no elevator.

It was a nice place to stay. The price was good for what the hotel is. There was inattention to refreshments set out, and people were not always available at the desk. Our room was lilac, which is not a good color for the general public. It was comfortable.

Had a great stay at the historic Centrella Hotel. It is in an excellent location in Downtown PG. Easy uphill 1-block walk to Lighthouse Ave or a couple blocks to the ocean. Prepare for on-street parking as there are only about a half-dozen parking spaces in front of the hotel and they are not very long. But what's nice (and necessary) are those parking spaces are wider than what you'd normally find at a local parking lot for retail or groceries.
