This is an excellent B&B. Owners and staff are all so very charming and accomodating. Whimsical, historical, comfortable place to stay. Evening wine and morning breakfast were done expertly. Be aware the third floor rooms are small, which put off another reviewer, however we were aware going in. Best B&B we've ever visited.

What a charming place! My husband and I loved staying in this cozy craftsman home. We loved the spacious Borogove room with a lovely view of the water. The location is on a quiet, residential street and yet was super close to Cannery Row, the Monterey Aquarium and several restaurants and shops. We appreciated the convenience of the dedicated parking. Breakfast was available each morning, rotating between sweet and savory, each one delicious! The innkeepers were very accommodating. We ended up doing happy hour there every night too as their snacks and wine were excellent. There are many common areas to enjoy outside of the room and a lovely, lush yard. We loved our stay, and would return without reservation. We were there in fall and loved the many, cozy fireplaces. The hosts were so kind and experienced. We wanted to be chatty and they happily obliged, regaling us with stories of the Inn and the history of the area. They will help you create a fantastic experience. I highly recommend a stay here.

Magical Stay in Monterey

Amazing stay in a perfect location, a 3-minute walk to Cannery Row, wonderful hosts who pay attention to all the details, Warm welcoming with wine and appetizers, and delicious homemade breakfast. The room was cozy and comfortable. The decor and grounds of the Jabberwock Inn are magical especially if you're a fan of Wonderland.
