Wonderful stay!
Pros:

THe hotel is walking distance to the beautiful beach and lobby of Asilomar Conference Center. Asilomar is open to the public, since it is managed by the California State Park system. It is also very close to the 17 miles drive. It's clean and the receptionist / owner? we encountered on our checkout day was helpful and super friendly!

Cons:

Don't think ice machine worked. Not a big deal for me.

Beautiful location, clean & comfortable room, exterior and pet area need attention
Pros:

Great location, very near to Asilomar Dunes and the very beautiful State Beach. Quiet, comfortable. I enjoyed easy access to Asilomar's dining & bar area as well.

Cons:

Despite an etched arrow on the bathtub faucet I was never able to get the shower to work. It was too early in the morning to get help from staff, so a disappointing way to start the day. One of the washcloths offered had stains. The room itself was clean and nice. The exteriors of the Inn could use some refreshing.
What looked like a small, unmarked pet latrine area in a corner off the parking lot had a fair amount of trash (potentially dangerous for dogs to pick up). This area well below par for all other pet-friendly lodging we've used. The website advertises a love for pets but the Inn offered no instructions (e.g. about pottying) or other signs of welcome.

We usually stay here if we come during peak season when prices in Monterey and Carmel are much higher.
Pros:

It’s in a convenient location not too far from the beach and the value is much better than Monterey or Carmel.

Cons:

It’s pretty basic accommodation but fine for a night or two. If you want luxury linen and plush towels then stay elsewhere.

I might stay overnight, but I wouldn’t want to stay more than that but we won’t be staying here again.
Pros:

The owner was nice and professional. I also like the location in Pacific Grove.

Cons:

The entire facility needed an update. Painting, having matching light bulbs in the bathroom, the bathroom tub constantly leaked water, the carpet was old, the covers were old, etc..

It was wonderful !
Pros:

The tiny deer were an attraction to the kids. It was so easy to walk to the beach and enjoy the ocean and wonderful views. The weather was better than we expected. Our family was happy to be so close to each other and have comfortable beds. The fireplace made feel like at home. The staff was helpful with maps and anything we asked.

Cons:

We would have preferred to have bigger pillows.
