Lighthouse Lodge & Cottages

Cute place but outdated. Not worth the price. The location was nice, we were able to walk to the coastal path. The furniture is stained and doors and windows don't open and close very well. Breakfast buffet was okay with well cooked eggs and pancakes. Gluten free bagels were available.

The photos are SO deceiving. This place is in dire need of some renovations. Dirty, stuffy, stained linens (gross) and moldy shower, sliding door hard to open and holes in screen door. The grounds are not kept well at all. We stayed on the first floor and were awakened by our neighbors upstairs at 3am doing the dirty and then stomping around at 5am. Terrible experience. Staff was not friendly, did not even ask how our stay was when checking out. Not worth nearly 300 a night at all!

Great location, as we were there to be close to shore and golf. The cottage was quiet and included a nice breakfast. We sat in front of outdoor fire pits which were lovely. Our room also had a fireplace which is a plus! Didn’t get a chance to swim but there is a pool on property. Walking distance to downtown Pacific Grove but there is free parking in town.

Top. Grosses Zimmer mit Terrasse, sehr gute Betten, sauber, tolle Lage in Monterey.

Let's start with the good parts. The location is great - very close to the beautiful beach and downtown Pacific Grove. There was ample covered parking and it was quiet at night. The breakfast was decent in the morning - nice people working there.

Now the bad - the room and stay were very disappointing. The carpet was filthy, the shower either ran very hot (burned my wife) or very cold, and there were ants and bugs in the room. The bed and linens were very old and outdated. The room desperately needs painting and upkeep. The staff was not very accommodating and very stringent on towel use. The hot tub was closed with no indication when it would reopen.

Please note - I did not complain to hotel staff, as I didn't want to spend the time during our stay dealing with questions and maintenance requests.

We still enjoyed our time in Pacific Grove, but I would not recommend staying at this location.

People at reception were warm and helpful. The fire "pits" were nice.

Setting and size and character of facilities

The first impression is good, but the unit I stayed was having serious maintenance issues.
Windows won't close, sliding doors that connect living room with bedroom were stuck.
The property is really short-staffed. When we asked for assistance around 5:30pm the receptionist literally said that she was the only one in the premise so we had sleep without being able to properly shut windows, and with no assistance from the hotel.

The location and customer service is excellent!

Our observation is that the whole property needs complete renovation. The exterior and interior decor requires a major overhaul. The landscaping is completely deteriorated. The irrigation system is in disrepair. The plants, trees, grasses are dying or dead. The interior is shabby at best. The carpeting, furniture, paint, really the whole interior decor needs replacement. The positives: the bathrooms were clean (although in need of renonvation), plenty of hot soft water and clean towels. Also, there were clean linens on the bed. We were told on checking in that we were upgraded to a room with a fireplace, also told the fireplace did not work. Ownership need to invest $$$ to attract future guests.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lighthouse! The breakfast was great and the host, an elderly gentleman, was very kind. The Front Desk clerk was also very friendly and helpful. The close proximity to Pacific Grove Golf course was nice as well, as I was able to take a 2 minute drive to the range as well as take in a round on the coastal back-9 in the early AM before check out! The location on Lighthouse also made it nice to take the short drive downtown to several wonderful restaurants and shops. This will be “our place” when we visit again. We had a Cabin Junior room, which was nice. The only downside to the room we had was our view - basically a tree stump, dirt and dead weeds, and an old wooden fence at the property line. Some basic landscaping and greenery would b nice to have there. That being said, it wasn’t enough for us to be dissatisfied or not book there again!

My husband and I travel to Pacific Grove and always stay at the Lighthouse Lodge and Cottages.
We're always treated with respect and kindness thanks to Lex and his team. The Breakfast Buffet is delicious I would recommend this beautiful Inn to anyone looking for a place to stay Only a few blocks to the beach
My husband and I stayed at the Inn on Memorial Day Weekend

Location was perfect, walking distance to beach and lighthouse. The room was decently sized, bed was comfortable, fireplace was a huge plus. The patio door does need to be repaired as it was broken at the handle, but again minor. The place was quiet and staff were helpful and kind. Would definitely recommend and come back.

Cons— The bed was extremely uncomfortable. Complete divot in the middle had to go on one side or the other. Pillows were thin. They were not comfortable or supportive. Bring your own pillow. The room is dated. New shades and carpet could really help. It was clean but there was lots of cracks. Spots on the ceilings, etc. Pros—- location, it was quiet, it is a cute place. I had a junior cottage suite and the space was wonderful.

We enjoyed staying at the a lighthouse Lodge & Cottages. I had a cottage which had a comfortable bed and I enjoyed all the amenities especially the quiet. My sons had a room at the Lodge and they woke up to deers grazing across the way every morning. They were comfortable in their room also. The rooms were very clean. We enjoyed the scenery surrounded by trees and nature. The buffet breakfast included with the cottage was a great way to start the day and I loved their breakfast burritos. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Your walking distance to a overlook of the ocean with a beautiful sunset. For the value it was worth the stay and we look forward to staying there next year.

Large room with view of cemetery, deer, and ocean beyond. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Nice pool and spa. Quiet. Location was convenient to downtown PG and Monterey. Easy access to Hwy 1, Carmel and beyond. Ample parking.

We have been staying at this location for 35 years and have never been disappointed.
