Located in the downtown area of Pacific Grove this hotel provides a small, friendly, family run feel. It is a converted large family home built in the Victorian era so has plenty of character and old fashioned features. Our room, The Jewell, was adapted for mobility use so it had a large wet room. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. The only downside was there was no hanging rail for our clothing, only hat and coat hooks in a cupboard with 4 hangers. As we were staying for 4 nights a facility to hang clothes would have been preferable, although there was a steamer in the room to iron clothes. Wine, cheese, crackers and a cake were provided free of charge every day between 4 - 6pm, which was a lovely touch, and provided an opportunity to meet and talk to other hotel guests. We found this a great social forum and very interesting way to learn more about America and American life.

The only suggestion for improvement we would have was that our room was on the ground floor next to the breakfast room and kitchen. At 6am the staff began work preparing breakfast and were quite noisy, clattering plates and cooking utensils disturbing our sleep. A minor point in the scheme of positives, but, something that could be considered and addressed.

The property was well located on the main street of downtown Pacific Grove, with plenty of parking around it. Lots of restaurants within a short walk, and the waterfront with lovely walking/biking trails was only 4-5 blocks away. The rooms were well appointed with good amenities including a coffee maker, refrigerator, iron, and fan. In addition, there was coffee, tea, cookies, and water/soda available 24 hours in the lobby area. The overall decor was very charming with lovely flowers in and around the property; lots of nice touches. The breakfast was good with enough choices, and the evening wine/cheese reception was a pleasant surprise. And there was a nice LCD TV with a decent number of cable channels.

The room (Jewell) was listed as having a Queen bed but it felt more like a Full size - this is a trend that is increasingly seen in many hotels these days. When you say Queen, lets make sure it is Queen. And the pillow top mattress was too squishy for me. It was a not a problem for us, but during the day (9-6 pm) parking is restricted to 2 hours which may be a problem for some.

the Gosby is a beautiful old house/hotel. the buffet breakfast was good, but not exceptional. I liked the serve yourself wine and appetizers in the evening, but it would have been nice to know what winery the wines came from. I really liked the room we stayed in (#3).

The decor was interesting yet comfortable, modern with a touch of antique. The building itself could use a bit of upkeep and repair. The only contact I had with whoever is running the inn was the receptionist, who was very nice. Usually in a B&B, you have more interaction with the people who run the Inn. Note that the inn allows children, there was a crying baby in the evening and for a short time at breakfast.

We enjoyed staying in The Trimmer. The room was charming, the fireplace was very cozy with a good size gas flame, the bed was very comfortable, the patio was very enjoyable in the afternoon. We took our wine and snacks outside to eat. The breakfast was yummy and it was served late enough so we could sleep in a bit. Also, it was a very quiet room. The location is awesome, you can easily walk to lots of shops, restaurants and the beach.

The bathroom fixtures were a bit tarnished and the bathroom was small, no place to put things. The staff were nice, but at one point my husband had a question and the only staff member was on the phone for a long time, he returned a couple times and finally got an answer to his question about 15 minutes later.

Such a cozy, quaint & tasteful B&B. This booking exceeded our expectations and we didn’t want to leave when it came time to check out. It felt so much like home by the time we left, like we were leaving our home. Such a sweet, safe, peaceful & dreamy place. We want to go back to Pacific Grove for this B&B alone.

Not much can be improved, it’s already such a great facility. Only thing I would recommend would be more food quantity during breakfast as people tend to get cranky when they haven’t had their eggs haha.

Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of choices each day. The room was comfortable and the location, to the rear of the inn was great. The inn is within walking distance to restaurants, the coast and walking trails along the shore.

I would have liked one brighter light in the room because I am a reader but there were other areas where you could sit and read outside your room. Just a small quibble really.

It was a nice stay in a great location downtown Pacific Grove. Very surprised with the wine and cheese hour daily. The room was quiet and comfortable. Gosby house made us feel at home

Would have been more convenient to have a little more counter space on the bathroom vanity. The bathroom was updated and spacious. Offering additional vanity counterspace would have made the visit much more comfortable.

Great location, beautiful lobby, nice room, coffee, cold drinks and cookies available

Our room was next to the stairs, we had occasional noise from people going up and down and light coming out of the corridor at night Breakfast was good but the room was crowded - no place to sit down and the food disappeared before we had our turn and then had to wait a long time for the next available batch and eat in the lobby with no table available

The staff and hospitality was superb!

We were disappointed in the decor. We remember previous trips, like time travel, back to a different era, with all the antiques and old fashioned furniture. The remodeling brought the Gosby house "up-to-date," but we feel it has lost its unique charm. Sadly, we will probably not return.

The build is a nice piece of history.

Very bad sound insulation Sadly, no warmed welcome from the hostess when we arrived on Friday. The breakfast and wine&cheese afternoon were good but nothing exceptional for this upscaled four sister inns collection.
