Butterfly preserve ( a small park with paved walkway) next to property was fun.(butterflies are present only a few months and we were lucky) Staff is friendly and helpful. Room was spotlessly clean. Nice towels & sheets. Quiet location, off the main road, a short distance to beautiful ocean scenes and 17 Mile Drive.

This is an absolute gem of a find. Walking distance from an incredible beach, golf course and lighthouse. Dog friendly, clean and comfortable. Local pub right down the road. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. You just don't find places like this anymore. No charge for parking, quiet and private. 10/10

Nice little motel. Located near the Monarch reserve. They had spacious rooms and nice staff. The swimming pool was clean. The hot tub was nice and hot. The pool had a acquaint cozy feel with teak chairs. There’s no breakfast, and you have to request room service if you want it. We would definitely stay there again.

Stay at Butterfly regularly (although the staff doesn't seem to know that) because of its location, room size, quietness, and reasonable dog charge. Many lodgings disqualify themselves by either a "no pet" or "sure, bring Fido, but you are going to pay" policy. I'm sure owners can site experiences for that but I've yet to witness a "bad dog" at a good inn. Reminds me of credit card companies that hope you are late so they can hammer you with fees. Highly recommend Butterfly Grove, our favorite out of the half dozen in P.G. we've stayed at. We booked a return in late December.

Convenient Location

We stayed here to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium and friends in Pebble Beach. The location is great—close to both. The hotel has lots of space and a nice picnic area, and you can walk around outside. It feels a bit old, but it's a good spot if you want a lot of room and a convenient location.
