I made reservations to…read morestay at the Seven Gables, it's been years that I've passed by thinking "that looks like a cool place to stay". So with Valentines in mind...check in at 4 but they sent a text saying our room was ready at 11 or so and asked what time might we expect you? My timing was four and that's about when we arrived. It's a bit complicated but the signage was clear and there were a couple of parking spaces right by the check in office. Wow what a place Old Victorian and absolutely beautiful inside. Check in was easy and fun, we could keep our car where it was parked. There were small socializing events, a champagne pour at 5, cookies at 7...Our room was just off the parking area with no stairs to climb. We were also close to the breakfast spot. (starts at 8-10) Our room was well a large bedroom, tall queen size bed, a very large bathroom, with a Great shower (water pressure) and rainfall shower head. Three large windows gave us a good view of the bay, the window shades were thick enough to block out most of the light. The mattress was super comfortable, we slept well. We took an Uber to the old pier and had dinner, it was very quiet in town, perfect. Free breakfast always has me wondering but today this was a very nice breakfast, egg soufflé, hash browns, lots of real fresh fruit, croissants, various breads, oatmeal, various topping and cereal. Hit flavorful coffee, juices, yogurts...good stuff. The stay was pricy for the off season but sometimes ya gotta spend a few bucks too enjoy the finer things in life. Today we're headed up highway One to Capitola and over to San Jose to Santana Row for dinner with the kids, stay tuned. Foodguy-Martin

I find that service is usually at its best during those times and this was no exception. The staff was great and so was the property, including its proximity to the water, shopping and dining. I love staying at older hotels and inns because the properties are usually small and quaint, with so much charm and character. I like the limited number of rooms because each is different and unique, providing the opportunity for a one of a kind experience each time you visit.

The building is centrally located right in the heart of Pacific Grove, Guest parking is safe and secure in underground gated parking. The units have been remodeled since our last stay and they are spacious and beautiful. Accommodations are immaculate and quiet with beautiful views!

At the time of my booking, Monterey county had not decided to shut down so I was able to keep the reservation during the entire week I was there even though the day after I arrived, no restaurants were open for in-person dining. (What luck!) The resort is very nondescript. You don't even know that you have arrived because the signs aren't displayed very conspicuously and the building shares space with some other businesses, including a restaurant on the ground floor. There are also no designated check-in spaces in front where you can park & check in. I had to call the front desk to tell them I had arrived at 11:58 AM (after a tiring 6 hour drive). The front desk rep (I forget her name, but she was a redhead), who seemed very annoyed, told me that I was lucky that she was at the desk because she was just leaving for lunch & there would have been no one to greet me in her place! (My first sign that the service at this place would be below expectations!) I asked her where I could park. She told me that she would meet me at the parking garage gate which could only be accessed by a remote control fob which she would have to give me. I met her with my car at the gate as she requested. She handed me through my car window a Ziploc bag with what she said was "all I need to know about the hotel" and proceeded to leave. I quickly asked her if she could spend a little more time to explain a few things to me so I could get better oriented in this place having just arrived from 400 miles away; specifically as to where I could park, where my room was situated, where the elevator was, etc. It wasn't even clear how to open the gate with the fob. She very hurriedly & very annoyedly rattled off a few selective answers to my questions & went on her way. I had to struggle to rip open the Ziploc bag & read the instructions while I was stuck outside the gate of the parking garage with people waiting behind me...... This wasn't the friendly first class greeting I was expecting from a resort that is supposed to be a "Premier Resort" according to Interval International. It turns out that the garage is the only way to access the hotel, which had no lobby and no direct access from the street, which was very odd! This means that you have to carry around the fob everywhere you go, even if you are just walking around the hotel. In addition, during multiple times during the day, you could not even access the floor which housed the tiny office because of their very rigid Covid restrictions. I never even got to see the office during my entire week stay. Any questions I had were communicated by phone. After this very rocky check-in, I was ready to start enjoying myself. When I got to the room, which was a 1 Bedroom suite, I was impressed with how large it was. It had a peek-a-boo view of the bay as well which was nice , especially on crystal clear days even though the bay was about 4 blocks away. The living area had a nice large couch set in front of a large screen TV . The room also had a large dining room table and a full kitchen. The furniture was a bit outdated but sufficient for our purposes. The room also had a small loft with a small chair & a table, which seemed a waste of space to me. (I was told that this is for parents to get some alone time?). The bedroom, which was furnished with a nice comfortable bed, small table & chair was also a nice size. There was also an abundance of storage space (designed for a large family, not for a childless couple as we were). There were some minor repair issues right off the bat which I was able to get resolved but all-in-all the room was very nice. In the time that we were there when the restaurants were actually opened, I was able to book at some great restaurants known for their seafood. I particularly loved the Wild Fish & PassionFish. Also worth mentioning is a great Portuguese bakery called Pavel's which is always packed & open only until they run out of their last pastry for the day, which could be pretty early in the day. Everything there is truly mouthwatering & worth every penny (Don't expect a bargain!) The tarts especially are not to be missed! The location of the resort is also convenient to Monterey & Carmel which are both spectacular and worth the drive.

We especially want to call out Diane, Lex, C.J., and Matt. They are joyous, welcoming, and are expert at making us feel like we belong there. A very personal experience because of them, so thank you! This review would not be complete without mentioning their coffee! They keep it hot in the lobby with plenty of cups, covers, utensils all day, every day. If you're coffee lovers as we are, it is a fabulous bonus. Their grab-and-go breakfast bags are adorable and enough to get you going with their coffee. Lots of "YUMS" as we first open our eyes each morning. Next, the housekeeping and maintenance people are all especially friendly. One of their housekeeping executives, Lourdes, told me how much she loves the region--and lives nearby. Finally the room we had was beautiful with a gas fireplace that can be turned on by the flip of a switch. You can get whatever you need from the front desk, towels, bottles of water, supplies, you name it. There is no daily housekeeping unless you request it, which honestly is a good thing--as it allows you to relax each morning with quiet and solitude. To summarize, we HIGHLY recommend this property. It is fabulous for a getaway to one of the most beautiful parts of the California coast.

Could be better: - no housekeeping services unless you're there for 4 nights and give 24 hours notice. We didn't give 24 hour notice and were given clean sheets and we had to change the bed ourselves. - CJ gives very detailed and verbose instructions that result in unnecessarily long check in lines - grab and go brown paper bag breakfast is a granola bar, slightly fresh fruit and a juice box - upgraded breakfast is the same every day although there is some alternating between bacon and sausage - In-room toilets are quite short. Like a squatty potty. But better than a pit toilet!

I specifically chose Sunset Inn over the Bide-a-Wee Inn next door because Sunset Inn advertised that their "cottages" (which are not cottages at all - they are just motel rooms) each come with a patio or balcony. I spent $100 more specifically to have this feature, only to arrive and find out that their version of a "patio" is just 2 chairs on the stoop/sidewalk next to the front door, facing the driveway/parking lot or the unit directly across from you. Zero view, zero privacy, zero tranquility, in a tiny area of about 10 square feet. That it NOT a patio, and I feel scammed. The room itself was clean, but not comfortable. The bed has a cheap, springy mattress; cheap, uncomfortable pillows; and no air conditioning or way to control the temperature in the room (there is a thermostat on the wall, but completely disabled. There is a fake fireplace, but no discernable way to cool down the room, which was quite muggy and stuffy.) The walls are thin and you can hear noise from the parking lot comin through the windows, and the coffee creamer is so old that it had caked together into a wafer instead of power. The breakfast area in the morning was cramped and disappointing. There is no suitable spread to put on the stale bread or muffins on offer (no cream cheese... not even butter! Just nasty margarine, which tells you how cheap Sunset Inn is, and how much they cut corners. At the Bide-a-Wee next door, they had butter, cream cheese, and even had hardboiled eggs for protein - and it costs half the price of this place!) And then there's the poor customer service. This expensive 2-star motel won't let you cancel (even with more than 24 hours notice) after booking a cancellable room. My wife fell ill and could no longer come down with me, so now I am stuck with a 3 hour drive and a $290 bill (extremely high for a one night stay!) all just to stay by myself at this motel since I don't want the money to go to waste. We called about 30 hours before our reservation (early morning on February 14 for a stay the night of the 15th), and they would not allow us to cancel. Instead, he offered credit for a stay, but only on a weeknight during off-season (November, December, or January)... my wife and I can't take time off to do a weeknight stay, and it's preposterous that this is the only credit that would be offered when I spent nearly $300 PER NIGHT at this sub-par establishment. Pacific Grove is a place we have frequented many times over the years, and we were hoping to find a new establishment to make our "home" whenever we visit, but it definitely won't be Sunset Inn. It's one of the 2 worst lodging experiences I've ever encountered in 20 years of coming to the area.
