Our stay was very pleasant. The atmosphere at the Inn is warm and friendly. There is a wine and cheese reception in the evening, but we were in the mood for dinner. The innkeeper gave us excellent suggestions and we found a great place within walking distance. Our room was spacious and comfortable. I will definitely stay at the inn again.

The Staff was top notch! Paula the innkeeper was friendly, welcoming, knew the area well. In a word she was awesome. The room was clean and well maintained! Parking was off the street, and the building is located in a very safe neighborhood just a short walk from Lighthouse Road, the main shopping area.

It was the cutest bed and breakfast near the beach to come with family. We enjoyed our stay, and appreciated the lovely innkeeper who assisted us during our stay! Very friendly and accommodating! The breakfast was delicious, and it was in a nice area only 10 minutes walking to the beach. Room was very spacious as well.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious--breakfast, charcuterie & wine in the afternoon, and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and sherry available from 7PM on each evening. We arrived at 6:45, just as the chocolate chip cookies were baking, and the house smelled so welcoming. We're already looking forward to our next trip!

We spent four fabulously comfortable and decadent four nights at The Charles in Pacific Grove. The rooms are beautifully decorated with a nod to the age of the building (1904). Historic photographs of Pacific Grove line the hallways. The lounge is comfortable and the late afternoon wine and snacks added to the conviviality. Breakfasts were varied and fresh. The breads and quiche were yummy. The beds are soft, the sheets cotton, and at night you can hear the faint crash of the waves on the shore. The hotel is in walking distance to an array of restaurants. The house-managers and staff were very welcoming and friendly. We will come again if we come back to the area.
