Excellent service and wonderful views
Pros:

Breakfast was delicious and made to order. There was a small menu that changed day-to-day with 3-4 similar options. Service was lovely and staff were always friendly and accommodating. Lots of extra spaces to hang out. I loved the garden and the atrium on the second floor with a gorgeous ocean view.

Cons:

I do wish the sink wasn’t so far from the rest of the bathroom (Pineapple room). A little inconvenient. Wifi also cut out very frequently.

A little gem
Pros:

What a gem! Cute inn that brings you back in time. Exactly what I needed to relax and slow down. Even though I didn't book a room with views of the ocean, I had a courtyard room where I could hear the water fountain. The breakfast room with expansive views and delicious cooked to order meal was such a great way to start the day! Thank you. Can't wait to be back!

Cons:

Nothing

Fantastic location in Pacific Grove, right across the street from the coastal trail, and an easy walk to Cannery Row in Monterey. We also love the opportunity to have a real, cozy fire in the fireplace

N/a, we have stayed multiple times and will stay again!

Nice location and views, In need of TLC.
Pros:

We stayed in the California room, its a smaller room, but I really liked that it was tucked away, quiet and sunny overlooking the garden. The staff at breakfast was very professional and presented a nice breakfast and we loved the view from the dining room. the guest were friendly and seemed to be enjoying themselves. The old antiques were interesting.

Cons:

The mansion was once a sparkling pearl on the ocean but it has been neglected, and it appears the owners have not invested much into upkeep. The overall grounds and interior is in need of more care. There are weeds and unmanicaured vegetation as you walk up to the entrance. There is a weird toxic smell from a spray cleaner as you walk in. The staff cleans the surfaces but the place is run down. The garden pond is dry and needs cleaning. We found rotted fruit on the carpet in our room and our bed was really hard, seemed like a very cheap mattress. It kept me up at night as it was so unfomfotrtable. The chairs were old, springs shot. The hot water cannister at night was not hot and there was only 2 tea bags. The cream for the coffee was artifiicial coffee mate at the coffee counter.

Wonderful staff and location.
Pros:

The staff at the Martine could not be kinder or more attentive. The innkeeper Casey was attentive to every detail. We arrived quite early for check in and went in without luggage just to see if we needed a parking permit in our window to park on the property. Casey went out of his way to be sure the room was ready and gave us a wonderful tour of the inn as well as local information on where to eat and park.

The views of the ocean were spectacular, and the breakfast in the gorgeous dining room was more than delicious.
