The property was very cool! Super old style but you need to be into that before you go. Everything looked very original. Roll top bath with a separate shower, quirky furniture to match its style and we had wonderful sea views from the top room. So glad we stayed as I personally love this style but could be deemed old fashioned to some. The history behind this house is really cool too. Loved learning about who used to live here and the area before it’s current condition. The breakfast was a bonus. Coffee, plenty of tea selection, juice, pastries and bagels to help yourself plus parfait offered on arrival to the dining area. Not to forget the complimentary glass of wine on arrival. Really nice touch and very appreciated on our stay after travelling up from the coast!

The only criticism I would have is the noise pollution from other guests in the morning. Given the age of the building and how thin the walls might be, this is totally understandable however it was difficult to sleep. Plus being located on the top floor, we heard the seagulls first thing in the morning which woke us up initially. We did choose this top room so no discretion there but certainly something to think about.

The staff are lovely. Common areas are in the style of the building. The bed was comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The bathroom in particular was spacious and well-designed. Parking was easy - if you can't get a space directly in front of the hotel there's plenty of street parking. It's a safe location, close to restaurants and the beach/coastal paths. It was a pleasant walk to the Monterey Aquarium. Breakfast (bagels, pastries and a yoghurt/berry/parfait) was more than we expected from the description. There was a complementary evening drink. We enjoyed our stay and thought it was excellent value.

Street-facing rooms can be noisy and if you're a light-sensitive sleeper you should pack eye shades.

We loved being in Pacific Grove. We were able to walk to most of the locations we wanted to see in Monterey/Pacific Grove. The breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day. The evening wine was lovely to wind down with. Our cabin was private and quiet.

There was a group of seagulls on the roof that made so much noise down the chimney! Beach life problem for sure. The main bed was softer than we like. The pull out couch was a little too small for our adult kids. But we made the best of it and still slept ok

We really enjoyed our 2 nights at the Centrella. The staff made us feel very welcome and the twin room, although small (#3, with twin beds) was very comfortable. I suspect the double rooms are larger. The beds and pillows were very high quality and the WiFi was fast and reliable. The yogurt parfaits at breakfast were a treat and the pastries were fine (supermarket quality, not bakery quality). Parking was easy and the location was ideal for our visit. We enjoyed our glass of wine in front of the fire in the evening, admiring the festive holiday decorations. We would definitely come back.

My son and I planned a last minute trip to Monterey Bay over Labor Day Weekend. We were lucky to find and be able to book this property at a reasonable price. The location in Pacific Grove was perfect for us. It was in a quiet residential area away from all the craziness near the aquarium and there was plenty of parking available on the street. We could easily walk down the hill to the coast or up the hill to get a bite to eat. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Not a large room, but plenty big enough for two adults. Also, the property was beautiful. We enjoyed sitting in the garden patio in the evening while we sipped our complimentary glass of wine.

The included breakfast was fine, but would not be a reason to stay here. The granola-yogurt parfait was delicious and the coffee was good and plentiful, but the pastries were not very good. Also, breakfast is not served until 8, so on two mornings we were gone before it started. There was not a lot of water pressure in the shower.

Stayed at the Bungalow. Quiet spacious. Historical interiors and decorations but well perserved and maintained by the staff. A rare opportunity get to live in an old historical building comfortably. Location is also amazing, walkable to downtown and to the beach, both are quiet scenic. The breakfast and afternoon tea in the lobby is very enjoyable with the decoration, fireplace, and the music. Staffs has been all very nice and helpful. Overall, great experience.

Both my husband and I found the hotel to be quite appealing due to its old world charm. This large Victorian house built prior to 1900 has been restored and maintained meticulously by protecting its original 'flavor' plus adding modern conveniences. The property offers both rooms in the main house with communal dining room/living areas as well as a few cottages offering a private living room + bedroom. We experienced both and were very pleased. There is also a lovely sunny/shady backyard with patio tables and chairs set under a large redwood tree. You will find various thoughtful touches throughout that will make you smile. The hotel staff was personable, courteous, and always ready to serve us as we needed. The location is perfect within close walking distance to shops, restaurants, and ocean.

As it was a brutally hot the several days we were there, it might have been a bonus for the property to be directly across from the ocean with ocean views. However, it was a short walk - even for Seniors - directly to the ocean. Views from the hotel windows are pleasant.

I always love the ambience and beautiful experience of staying in a period home such as the Centrella! I was given a free upgrade, but one of the classic Victorian rooms suit me just fine! Please don’t change the hotel !! Keep to the period of the antique beauty, one can stay in a modern hotel anytime - but this historic charming beauty cannot be duplicated and should be restored not remodeled to modernity, but keeping the integrity of the era :/

I hate to say, although the newly remodeled suite was nice and tastefully done, I like to stay at the Centrella because of its history and authentic Victorian charm Another b&b in PG has been remodeled and I won’t go back to that one - so modern it’s ridiculous, so sad these historic buildings should be restored and preserved, but kept as the period homes they were, Not remodeled - BIG difference! :( If I wanted a modern hotel I would stay at one

The location was lovely, 6 min walk from the beach and a museum. Staff were wonderful and very helpful. We loved the breakfast and the cozy little dinning area with a real fire place. The room was very charming.

The hotel building itself is pretty old. Walls and floor was paper thin and we could hear every thing on the outside. There was also very limited parking, around maybe 7 parking spaces. We had to park 2 streets down on our 2nd night because there was no parking.

Location in Pacific Grove just right for the wedding events we came for. We enjoyed the glass of wine during “happy hour”.

I was very disappointed with the breakfast. While the granola/fruit yogurt dishes were good, the pastries were awful. They were not fresh, stale actually. With the great bakeries in PG, fresh & delicious pasties could be easily served. Bagels also dry, not fresh. For the price charged, guests should be served fresh breads.
