This is an excellent B&B. Owners and staff are all so very charming and accomodating. Whimsical, historical, comfortable place to stay. Evening wine and morning breakfast were done expertly. Be aware the third floor rooms are small, which put off another reviewer, however we were aware going in. Best B&B we've ever visited.

Magical Stay in Monterey

Amazing stay in a perfect location, a 3-minute walk to Cannery Row, wonderful hosts who pay attention to all the details, Warm welcoming with wine and appetizers, and delicious homemade breakfast. The room was cozy and comfortable. The decor and grounds of the Jabberwock Inn are magical especially if you're a fan of Wonderland.

The hosts did everything they could to make us feel right at home and we needed the relaxation we found here. Breakfast was delicious and the hotel was super walkable with free parking for our rental that we didn't need here. I could not ask for a better stay and we will stay here anytime in Monterey.

This bed and breakfast was absolutely fantastic. For my first time experiencing a bed in breakfast I no longer want to do high end hotels that cost massive amounts of money. Although, it is nice to have extremely modern amenities, the level of individual care to each guest makes a world of difference. The property is Alice in Wonderland themed. It is walking distance to everything in Monterey. Cannery row, the aquarium, and many markets. The breakfast they served was delicious and very filling. Everything homemade and nothing frozen. I would definitely recommend staying here.
