The location is perfect ...yummy free breakfast included and nice seating area near fire pits.
Pros:

We loved the location and the area with the fire pits outside of our room. We also loved the cleaning staff and the staff that serviced the free breakfast. The dining area was very nice and the breakfast that was included was very yummy.

Cons:

Didn't like the gal that checked us in..she was very snotty. The room did not look like the pics on booking.com and I paid more for it. the balcony was horrible and didnt even have a table..the side view was of trash and broken down trees..there was trash in our room under out dressers that wasnt cleaned..the room had broken items in it and just didnt seem clean

Fair price for the stay.
Pros:

The location was nice. It is an older facility and they are in the process of renovating. The breakfast was in the office. The room was clean, and bed comfortable. I had a balcony which was nice to leave open to hear the waves. The pool and hot tub were nice. I stayed in a King room with fireplace. I am returning but am looking forward to their upgrades to the hotel. Staff was friendly.

Cons:

Bathroom near the pool wasn't working. The office smelled, most likely from the old fish tank. The breakfast 'free' was meh!

Complete disappointment
Pros:

Great location between the beach and downtown Pacific Grove. Bed was properly firm.

Cons:

We booked a suite. A very expensive suite. Pocket doors between the bedroom and living area would not close. There was a small kitchenette but no table or desk to sit and eat at. Gas fireplace was unusable because it immediately triggered the carbon monoxide sensor above it. Complaints to staff were treated with indifference, “oh, those doors never close” and “we never have tables”. Then there were the spiders in a web in the kitchenette, a shower curtain that was both too short and ripped at the top, and what looked like mold in the spa tub jets, all of which tell me how seldom they actually clean.

Too much cost for too little lodging.
Pros:

Breakfast was practically nonexistent. Terrible so-called continental breakfast.

Cons:

Not what I expected. I would never stay here again. I would never recommend it to anyone.

Overall great stay, & perfect location.
Pros:

Great location and cozy. Very close to tourist spots but not so much that it was crowded. Loved how close it was to walk to the beach. Fireplace in the unit was cozy for the late night.

Cons:

AC unit was complex. I was unable to adjust the temp easily. 1st floor - No private balcony. It was open to the parking lot and the screen door was broken. It was uncomfortable leaving the door and curtain open.

Never again
Pros:

Just the basics; check-in, coffee in the morning, etc.

Cons:

Room quality did not reflect value per rack rate. $450 per night for a midweek room with two double beds, low grade floor coverings, small TV, low quality bedding, ancient mattresses, poorly designed undersized bathroom was a rip off

Run down and neglected.
Pros:

The facility appeared to be in poor condition, with signs of maintenance neglect. Some rooms had loose or missing baseboards. Yard workers were using blowers near the rooms during my stay. The first room had plumbing issues, and the second was somewhat dingy, with makeup powder on the sink, mold in the sink and shower, and spider webs and mold around the bathroom window.

The breakfast offerings were minimal, consisting of powdered eggs, and by the third day, there was no ketchup or hot sauce available. The selection that was provided was of low quality. Overall, it seemed that management's primary focus was on cost-cutting rather than maintaining high standards of service.
