Super cute for a short stay, friendly staff and great area.
Great service, and the room was so cozy and comfortable. Booed the cottage and had the whole unit to ourselves detached from the rest of the hotel, Had a fireplace with a TV and pull out couch. Me and my Fiance loved this stay, definitely a place to stay at in Monterey if you love history and timeless architecture.
The room was clean
The staff was nice
Great location!
Nice outdoor court area
Towels were dingy
Breakfast was disappointing. The parfait was good but left me hungry.
I got a cottage. The room was great very spacious. The service was excellent. I highly recommend this place. The location of the hotel is convenient and parking was easy and downtown and the bay was a few blocks away,
Professional and friendly staff, clean comfortable rooms and location, location, location! Beaches, wildlife, wharf, restaurants and sweet downtown PG!!!
We stayed in a cottage and it’s spacious and clean. The inn is in great location, walkable to dining, shops and beach area. Breakfast is a bonus and tasty. Friendly staff and charming place.
Delighted with our days at Pacific Grove thanks to the welcoming and kind staff at Centrella! Excellent location a few blocks from the beach, delicious farmers market and clean/comfortable accommodations!

Love this sweet little house. We took our coffee on the front porch rocking chairs and felt like a local.
Wonderful - comfortable bed, fun vintage touches, clean and tidy and immaculate bathroom! Perfect location - easy walk to all Pacific Grove has to offer and minutes from the Aquarium!
Really cute and clean place with lots of Victorian appeal. The staff were super friendly and professional. It’s just one block from downtown, so it’s nice and quiet but still super easy to walk to shops and restaurants. The continental breakfast was tasty. Overall, a great stay — would definitely come back
