The Lodge has the best view for the most perfect brunch in Pebble Beach! It's hard to have it all, but The Lodge has great food, service, and views! There were absolutely no complaints from my end. We had a reservation for 11:30 on a Sunday and it was not super busy on the outside patio. We were warmly greeted and our server was excellent! He made us feel very welcomed and was sure to tell us that he could make us any drink possible! We ordered the butter lettuce salad with chicken and the mushroom ragu rollatini. The salad was refreshing and I loved the light and herby dressing it came with. The chicken is a definite must! The mushroom ragu rollatini was the star of the show and I did not miss the meat at all! I love Don Angie's rollatini lasagna in NYC, and this one had me just as mesmerized. The view in itself is worth coming here and the food is very good as well! I highly recommend The Lodge!

Beautiful views, tons of history. Shipping, dining and of course golf. Guest parking available.

You can't beat the views and the ambience here! Service is impeccable and the drinks and food are top notch! Please note that they do follow rules of etiquette, where men are not allowed to wear hats inside - no matter what kind of hat (though there is an outside area where there are allowed). I love stopping here anytime I'm in the area.

Come for the view, but don't expect to be wowed by the food or service... :-( The view of Pebble Beach is a great finish after your slow journey through the 17-mile drive. As for the food, it is pretty much ordinary yet highly priced. The drinks are watered down, and the service is somewhat aloof... that is the only explanation I can reason as to why it would take over 40 minutes to make a cheeseburger and fries If you want that perfect sunset and beautiful scenery, this place will not disappoint you. Food and drinks... well that's another story.

My stay at Pebble Beach Resorts was iconic. Thank you to all of the staff for making our stay feel personable. I can't express enough that this place is true perfection. You must stop by the Spa at Pebble Beach to have a divine treatment. I will definitely be returning!

Views are amazing. We had dessert and drinks here and enjoyed the stop we made. Was happy we were able to get in and sit awhile to cool down from the amazing weather. The coconut chiffon cake was our favorite.

A Landmark! =)

The Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance was an extremely successful adventure, for fans near and far. The outstanding international event hosts the elite automobile car show, with the finale Sunday on the 18th golf green. The many gatherings and parties are brilliant: with delicious artistic food creations shared at sit down dinners, buffets and shows including jazz musicians, tribal Native American performances, and drone laser air shows. Magnificent activities!!! Thank you kindly!

At the Lodge outside the library room terrace 44 years after we got married overlooking the 18th hole. Priceless.

On May 17, 1980 we got married at the Lodge on the library room terrace overlooking the 18th hole. Our wedding luncheon followed inside. On May 17, 2024 we returned to celebrate our 44th anniversary. The library room was locked, however a front desk person let us in and took our photo. It was a beautiful and emotional day.

Welcome to Pebble Beach and sign for The Lodge.

Pebble Beach is one of the last highlighted stops along the wonderful 17-Mile Drive Tour. If you enter "The Drive" at the Pacific Grove Gate and work your way around the beautiful coastline in a counterclockwise direction, you will eventually arrive here at Pebble Beach and this acclaimed Lodge overlooking the world famous 18th green. I recommend taking some time to exit your car and walk around the Lodge area which includes: shops and restaurants, access to the golf links and even a pathway to the sandy beach shores. The Lodge is sort of the centerpiece/focal point to Pebble Beach. Although I was just taking the 17-Mile Drive Tour for the day and not actually staying here as a guest, still...it was very nice to get some exposure to the game of golf. And, for those who may not know...this Pebble Beach golf region has a reputation for being host to one of the most scenic 18-hole courses in the world! Just that fact alone should motivate people to come visit and see what this place is all about. When I first arrived, I actually parked my car and walked inside the Pebble Beach Visitor Center which was great for purchasing a few golf souvenirs with the iconic PB Lone Cypress Tree stamped on most of the merchandise. Btw, you can view the Lone Cypress Tree hovering at the edge of the cliffside right nearby here along the 17-Mile Drive. Also at the VC, you can read about some of the terrific moments from Pebble Beach that will be etched in stone forever. But, I will write a separate review for the Visitor Center at a future time. I did leave my car at the Visitor Center parking lot and strolled over here to The Lodge, which was a casual walk of 400 feet and then started exploring. In the back section of The Lodge features a wonderful putting green to get some practice in before heading out onto the venerable course. Yes, so, I believe the Pebble Beach links are open for public use when they aren't hosting tournaments. A bunch of the lodge hotel rooms overlooked this putting green. To sum up the surroundings, it was just a surreal setting to even be walking around. Although I rarely golf, I felt like I was standing in quite a prestigious setting. The grounds were flawlessly groomed and in immaculate condition. Then, as just a visitor, I was allowed free access inside The Lodge. The lobby area had an old fashioned, throwback in time type of feel like only VIP's are allowed access to. It resembled an old Wall Street type of club where elite members get together. So, for me to be able to simply browse inside and out was exciting. Just past the lobby you can peer straight out onto the terrace area. Here, guests and golfers who had completed their outings were sitting, dining and admiring the postcard-like setting viewing the illustrious 18th hole putting green. Every table was occupied. It felt like I was standing among golfing royalty. I'm more of a tennis player so to relate this Lodge to a sport I'm familiar with, I was reminded of being at the grass lawns of Wimbledon. Walking down the hallways featured plenty of past trophy winners and awards highlighting champions of golf who've participated at Pebble Beach tournaments. There were pictures describing memorable endings. In some instances, golfers can have career defining moments transforming themselves from tournament hopefuls, to winning it all in one weekend and departing as legends of the game. Finally, just having the opportunity to get a firsthand glimpse into what makes Pebble Beach so well known as a mecca for professional golf was satisfying. Plus, with successfully completing the 17-Mile Drive Tour earlier in the day by taking in the sights of California's renowned coastline, ending things here at The Lodge was an amazing way to experience why Pebble Beach will forever be known as a world class golfing destination.

Small but gorgeous hotel. I want to give like a 3.5-3.8, but am doing a 4. While it has an intital…read morehigh end appearance and price point, the Stilwell Hotel lacks the some of the essentials of a true luxury stay. - Staff: during check in, we were helped by a tall blonde young man with a deep voice . He has 0 customer service skills and should not be customer facing. He had minimal eye contact, cold demeanor as if we were bothering him, mumbling, and just overall unpleasant. He had the demeanor of a bro cashier at a GNC. There was a guy next to him which I assume was IT or something since he was messing with something at the front. There was a woman who brought us a welcome glass of champagne, and Angel - who gave us a brief tour and brought our luggage to the room. Angel and the woman were nice. Champagne was good, however I wish they offered non alcoholic options like a juice or sparking cider. Throughout our stay, we encountered many staff on the property in passing - not a single smile from any of them. Even the housekeeping staff at a BestWestern are nicer than the staff here. - Room: gorgeous but small. Booking a room for 2 does not just mean having a big enough bed, but actually room for 2 humans to move around. There is not enough room to lay your luggage out anywhere, and the bathroom was narrow. I would've liked to have a towel bar by the sink instead of having a silly rock be what holds the towel up. The room is aesthetically stunning and the bed was very comfortable. I loved the ambient lighting options and motion activated under-lighting. I liked that we had a balcony. I enjoyed the soaps / lotions, as well all the nespresso in the room. Air conditioning worked well. Room was very clean. - Parking: parking was easy in the day. We lucked out at night but guests arriving after 8pm had nowhere to park, which we witnessed first hand. We saw a guest told the staff "the lot is full", and the staff said "just take the EV spot". What about your guests with EVs who need to charge their cars for the night? On another day, a large car was parked in the entrance into the hotel (not the street) and stayed there for 15 min which blocked entry for everyone else - i wish the staff came out to inform the guest that they couldn't leave their car the. The main lot is very tight with slim spots and awkward parking angles, but the back lot was good . While this wasn't an issue for me, I can imagine coming off of a long flight, finally getting to the hotel at night, and being frustrated at the lack of available parking. - Breakfast: this is the main reason we wanted to stay here. The breakfast itself is good, not great. The French toast, juice, chia pudding and eggs are best things - everything else is okay as I found some things to be stale such as the waffles and muffins. I did enjoy how the food is displayed, and there lots of variety. Staff is constantly refilling items so you never have to worry about things running out, regardless of when you arrive for breakfast. Breakfast is much later than it is at other hotels, and with a small window (8-10am), which can be an issue if you are planning to eat early prior to a hike. 2 staff stay in the area however they just stare at you from the corner of the room. No smile, no good morning. The first day, I felt like we were being stared at as if we were freeloaders sneaking in for free breakfast. It was very uncomfortable. Not sure if they were staring because we're younger than a majority of the other guests but there really is no excuse. I think they should do a wrist band system or something if they insist on eyeing people. Property- they have a cafe by the breakfast area where you can order hand crafted pizza. We didn't do this but it smelled great. The location is convenient with lots of restaurants within walking distance . As a hotel guest, you get a discount at the Foray restaurant, which is closed mondays and Tuesdays Overall: Beautiful, but I don't think I'd stay again. For the price point and all the amenities, I expected to be in love with this hotel. At other hotels with this price point, I'm usually like "I don't want leave!", but not here. It wasn't a bad stay, but the experience didn't match the price point. I hope they get better staff or else I could see this hotel failing in the future.

Pretty unhappy with our short experience…read more The hotel is pretty and the rooms luxurious, however, the guest experience did not match my expectations. One of the more expensive rooms on property, the courtyard 'suite,' is adjacent to the lounge area, so we heard conversation right outside our window until after 10pm. There was no effort to ask the group to move to another spot that would have been less disruptive, despite my ask to the front desk. We were charged $50 extra per child for our family of 2 adults and 2 children for a suite that has two rooms and two king beds. They have 4 charging stations for EV's, however parking is not enforced. There were non EV vehicles parked in those spaces the entirety of brief stay, so unfortunately we were inconvenienced by not being able to charge at a planned stopping point on our road trip. Next time I come to Carmel I'll be researching alternatives.

I had the pleasure of seeing Bray Gurnari perform live at the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa on…read moreWednesday, September 30, and it was a fantastic evening. Bray performed solo with just his guitar and vocals, and what impressed me most was the incredible range of music he covered. His set moved effortlessly across decades and styles--from Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, and Lionel Richie to David Bowie, Simple Minds, Howard Jones, The Romantics, Georgia Satellites, and more. Some of my favorites included "Folsom Prison Blues," "As the World Falls Down," "You Spin Me Round," "No One Is to Blame," "Don't You (Forget About Me)," "Sundown," and a beautiful rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon." The warm, elegant atmosphere of the hotel lobby was a perfect setting for Bray's acoustic performance. He has a wonderful ability to take familiar songs and make them his own while still preserving what made us love them in the first place. What I particularly appreciate about Bray is his versatility. Whether he is performing with a full band or standing alone with a guitar, he knows how to read a room, connect with an audience, and create an atmosphere that makes you want to stay and listen. Another thoroughly enjoyable performance. If you have an opportunity to see Bray live--or are looking for a talented, professional, and versatile musician for a venue or private event--I highly recommend him. Looking forward to the next one! https://www.facebook.com/braygurnari

For a hotel charging over $400 a weeknight, finding a sexually explicit photograph with a…read morehandwritten note left on a chair in the lobby is absolutely appalling. Frankly, this is the kind of thing I'd expect to encounter at a Motel 6, not a premium Monterey hotel. I brought it to the front desk because I felt someone needed to know what was being left in the lobby. The employee was shocked and said it was horrible, but there wasn't much follow-up. I returned to my husband and baby, honestly relieved that I was the one who found it rather than a child. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, the staff we encountered were friendly, check-in and valet were quick, and the crib delivery was appreciated. The location itself nice, although the surprise two-elevator trip from our room to the lobby was inconvenient, especially with a stroller. I wish the layout had been clearer when booking, I didn't need an ocean view but I highly value convenience which is why I booked a Cannery Row hotel to begin with. The lobby incident is what I'll remember most. I would expect the hotel to staff to acknowledge such an atrocity a bit more. Monterey was wonderful for my first visit, and I'll absolutely return, but I'll probably be choosing a different hotel next time. Update: I brought up the incident again at checkout, and the front desk employee responded, "Oh yes, we were made aware of that." No further acknowledgment or explanation. We were then asked if we wanted to review our bill and informed that parking alone was $102. The casual response to such an inappropriate discovery in a public lobby, combined with the $400+ room rate and $102 parking fee, only reinforced my disappointment with this experience.

I wish I could rate front of house and our food/server separately for this review, because it would…read morebe two completely different ratings. Starting with everything positive, which was the majority of our experience: this is one of the most stunningly beautiful restaurants I have ever seen in my life. I wish we had gotten here earlier before our reservation to walk down and say hi to the sheep and take pictures with the meadow, because it is a beautiful and extremely well taken care of piece of land. Our reservation was outdoors and during sunset, which was stunning. All of our food was absolutely delicious. The relish tray was nice and fresh to start, the jidori chicken was perfectly cooked and super flavorful, and the salad was huge and packed full of fresh ingredients. And be sure to save room for dessert, ordering the house made ice cream is a MUST! Special shout out to our server here as well, I forgot to write down his name, but he was extremely helpful in making recommendations not just about food, but also on itinerary recommendations for our trip. The negative to our experience here and only reason I am taking off a star for this rating is that we had a rough time getting checked in for our reservation. It was rather hard to make your way up to the host stand, and I was bumped by several staff members who were grabbing menus, etc. without realizing they were behind me. The front of house did not have our reservation marked as outdoors, and we mentioned that we were happy to wait until an outdoor table opened up since that was our preference to eat outside. Soon after checking in, we were seated at a table on the patio, but some unkind remarks were made about how us being placed there would make other patrons unhappy because now they would have to wait. Overall a good experience but a bit of whiplash between front and back of house. Did not ruin our night though as the food and service team were so great! Reservations are also a must, you can log in early AM online to reserve ahead.

I really hope whoever represents Mr. Eastwood and The Mission reads this and addresses it appropriately. We didn't have reservations, we had read the reviews and knew the food was good. We got there in the middle of the week, it was busy. We were greeted by one of the hostesses, super nice and were told the wait was 45 minutes. No problem, the bar was open and we sat to grab a few drinks. The bar staff, AWESOME and funny. This is when we met the lady of the house, the woman who I would describe as the lead hostesses. 5-5, skinny, sharp facial features, very pale and the attitude to match. She greeted several people who just walked in ( we had been waiting 20 minutes already), local patrons. She immediately ORDERED the front wait staff to sit 2 parties of 4, they got moved to the front of the line.She did not make contact with us, the simple people, she actually smirked when she looked in our direction. This is when I noticed the shift in attitude from the wait staff. Prior to her arrival, they were happily working smiling and joking with each other. She walked in and it's like Cruella had arrived . She disappeared back in the food preparation area and came back out and again, she took 2 parties ahead of us and seated them personally. They did not have reservations ( I overheard the conversation) . We didn't mind the wait, it was the attitude. When we finally were seated, the staff was " Johnny on the spot" with thier service and attitude. The food,off the hook. I had steak, done just right, buttery. She had fish cooked to perfection. When the waiter heard we were celebrating our anniversary, they brought a nice dessert, free. I watched in interest Cruella maneuver around the restaurant , I watched how the staff reacted around her and how she treated guests. Mission Ranch, if you are losing employees regularly, this person might be the cause of that. I don't want to play the race card but I will say this, those of us that were not a " Billy" or a " Buffy" were treated differently.

L'Auberge Carmel was a wonderful home base for our anniversary trip, and the town itself did not…read moredisappoint -- but a couple of details kept it from being a five-star stay for us. Due to a booking mix-up on our end, we actually experienced two rooms. Room 9 (our first night) was terrific -- cozy, well-appointed, and the shower had some of the best water pressure we've had at a hotel. Room 30, where we spent the rest of our stay, was lovely in its own way -- more space, a wet bar, a walk-in closet, and gorgeous views through the trees toward the ocean, with a charming little private staircase up to the room. But the shower there, despite being much larger, had noticeably weaker pressure, and the "king" bed turned out to be a California king mattress on a standard king frame -- leaving an odd 4" gap on one side. Small thing, but for anyone who loves stretching out on a big bed while on vacation, it's worth knowing. Where the stay really shined was the staff and the little touches: the warm arrival, a handwritten welcome note, fresh cookies and caramels every evening, thoughtful turndown service, and spotless daily housekeeping. Breakfast was simple, fresh, and just the right size to start the day -- we appreciated that it wasn't trying to be more than it needed to be. Just know that lunch isn't really available on-site, and dinner reservations book out months in advance at premium prices, so plan on walking into town for most meals. We'd happily return to Carmel, and there's a lot here to love -- we just hope some of these smaller details (especially in the upstairs rooms) get some attention.

The woman who sings in the lobby was so much fun, and we enjoyed listening to her when we walked in after dinner out. It's charming. Cons: Very small, outdated rooms. We had two windows in our King suite, be they both faced lightwells towards the wall of the building. Zero breeze, zero view, and no fresh air. This leads us to there is only a wall unit air conditioner, that didn't lead to the bedroom, just the sofa room. This made my daughter freeze who slept in the pull out sofa, and we were very warm in the stuffy bedroom. The breakfast was on par with a Hilton breakfast. Very warmed-over food. When we walked in we said hello to the staff, but they were too engrossed in a conversation (apparently a fellow staff member needs to shower more) to greet us or tell us where to sit or how the buffet works. We waited in the doorway for a while, and my husband finally asked "excuse me, but do we seat ourselves and serve ourselves?" they finally looked up and said "sit anywhere". We did and started looking for the plates and serving ourself. I could see bagels behind the counter, so I wondered how we get those. Later, I saw them making coffee drinks for other guests, and realized we could have ordered those, but they weren't offered to us. Later, I went to the front desk, asking for more towels (there were only 2 in our room). The young man at the desk asked for our room, and I said "the King Suite" and he asked our last name, and said "I can tell you that you don't have a suite". My husband walked up and told him our room number, and yes, we were indeed staying in a suite. I am not sure what the issue was with that? He asked if we just wanted the towels, or a full refresh. I asked for the room refresh, and we left to go to the beach. When we returned, they had fully refreshed the room, but still no towels. I used the wet towel used by my husband the day before. We later asked for and got more towels, thankfully. The hardest issue comes down to parking. There is no guest parking, and all of the streets around the hotel have only a few hour parking limit. We were always looking at our watches and running back to move the car to a new space. That is unfortunate for a vacation. We love coming to Carmel, and visit at least once a year. We won't be visiting the Cypress Inn again, but it is a lovely, historic hotel. There are just some issues to overlook while you are there. All in all, we are glad we had the chance to stay there, but won't be back. There are so many great hotels to choose from there.
