The property was charming. It was like stepping back in time. They ate dog friendly and it seems like everyone had a dog that was staying at the property. The little walking path behind the motel was nice!. The coffee in the office was great. I did have to wait until they opened every day at 8… Staff was friendly! We used the hot tub and it was nice. The pool and area was clean and nice. Pool was too chilly to swim. The room was okay. There was only one chair to sit on and it was the “desk chair.” Cute motel!

This Inn was such a find. We have stayed here a few times and each has been wonderful. It is easy to find and parking is fantastic. We love that it borders the Butterfly sanctuary and can just step from our door to the pathway. The staff is always very pleasant and accommodating.

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.

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.

It is right next to the monarch sanctuary and convenient to the coast line and downtown Pacific Grove. The room was ideal for us - big and roomy for our daughter to study on her computer at the table, and for our grandson to play with his toys. We liked that it had windows that opened and a fan. My only complaint was that the toilet ran all night. Would recommend for families. My only
