Overall the property and rooms were good. We enjoyed the historic beauty and close proximity to the beach. We never found the pool so we didn't use it. There was a wedding event happening and we could hear the thumping of the music in our room. The shower kept dripping all night even though we turned it all the way off.

Great awesome location since beach is only a 5 minute walk. Rooms are not the best shape. We had holes on the wall, shower head broke, some of the window screens are also broken letting some bugs in.

Great last minute addition to our Spring Break. The location was beautiful and accommodating for what we needed. The rooms are dated but clean. For the price, we would definitely book again with friends and family. The grounds have a lot of potential and from what we could see, history. We loved the lodge feel. Wish we had more time to explore.

Needs cleaning, slept about two hours because of the upstairs neighbors being so loud, the bathtub did not drain, ice machine was broken. On the other hand, the back patio and environment was natury and allowed for some great, calm moments to myself.

There was no housekeeping service after night one of our two night stay, that was surprising. The most disappointing was the breakfast food, it was shockingly bad. We had to go offsite on day two. Overall a really great location and vibe on the property, would certainly recommend if food and service improve.

Beautiful, rustic campus just a few minutes walk from state beach. Gorgeous natural setting. Simple king bed room showed it's age, but it has high ceilings and picture windows, and was roomy and comfortable. There are two free EV chargers on site, but with the prevalence of electric vehicles in CA, they were in constant use during our stay.

This was our second time staying at this absolutely beautiful, historic property. We love Asilomar for its quiet and comfortable atmosphere and its close proximity to Pebble Beach, Carmel, downtown Pacific Grove and Monterey. Just keep in mind this is not a “resort.” There’s no valet parking, spas (there is an older pool on the far edge of the grounds), or Michelin-starred restaurants. You won’t find a refrigerator, microwave, or even a telephone or television in the guest rooms. The rooms we’ve stayed in each visit were clean and comfortable, and reminiscent of a room in a rustic mountain cabin. We always see deer when we walk the pathways around the property. In the evening we enjoy making the short walk out to Asilomar Beach to take in the gorgeous sunsets. We highly recommend this place, and plan to return later in the year.
