Liked the character of the place...very vintage and Victorian like. Our room was very warm and hot...didn't realize there was no air conditioning! By the evening the room cooled with the windows open and the fan going. The furniture and carpet were outdated...however the shower looks like it was renovated. Breakfast was okay..I would say a step down from continental. The location was good...walking distance to the ocean and close to restaurants and shops by car.

Beautiful Home

Absolutely loved this old Victorian house turned hotel. Beautiful antique furniture. Even a wardrobe rather than a closet. The front desk staff were friendly. The continental breakfast was just enough to start our day with a delicious Greek yogurt parfait. Location was within walking distance of the beach, restaurants and shopping. Would stay here again.

We’ve stayed in a lot of properties in California during a 2 1/2 weeks trip. And this was the worst. I knew the area as we stayed there the night before and I wanted to remain in the area but it was car week and hotel choices were limited. However, this did look good and the reviews were pretty decent however it was incredibly rundown. The towels were grey and thread bare. The bedding was also grey. The pillows were lumpy . The radiator was old and rusty. The blinds were old and need replacing. There was a kettle in the room but no cups or tea coffee and milk so I wasn’t too sure what I was supposed to do with it.! Couldn’t face breakfast so left as soon as we could

Lovely historic hotel in Pacific Grove

Great location and Pacific Grove is a lovely area to stay near Monterey. The Centrella Hotel is a historic hotel so facilities in the room are a little dated but still very comfortable. We needed to make the sofa bed up on arrival for teenage children but linen all in the room so quick to do. Good breakfast with delicious granola, although only starts at 8am which may be helpful to be aware of if booked on a 9am whale watching trip from Fisherman’s Wharf. Enjoyed the complimentary glass of wine relaxing in the hotel lounge. Thank you for a lovely stay.
