Lovely and comfortable.
Pros:

My sister and I found the beds to be comfortable and the room very clean. And we loved that there was no carpet.
We ended up staying two nights and ate breakfast at Winston's on Light House Drive. We had dinner one night at the Fish Wife and the next night at Sandbar and Grill. We also spent a lot of time walking on different beaches. It's just a beautiful place and will return again. Thank you for a lovely time.

Cons:

I didn't like that my sister wanted to tell me where to go and what to do. But I was the driver and I did what I wanted. We are in our 70's and still love doing things together, but sometime I just want her to shut up. Funny Right!!!

Pros:

Quiet little spot away from busy roads. Coffee and some breakfast stuff available at all hours.

Cons:

Not necessarily a bad thing, but this place is car oriented. You will need to walk a mile or so to the beach or to get something to eat.

Small motel, but has it where it counts!
Pros:

Excellent location. About a ten minute drive to downtown Monterey, but very close to downtown Pacific Grove. This is a small inn feel, but very comfortable and clean, which is what is most important to me.

Cons:

The breakfast was very basic. We only stayed one night, but I’d find other options if we were there for a multiple day stay.
