    I booked the Inn as our last step before flying home. I wished I booked a whole week here or at least 4 nights. It reminded me of Gilmore Girls. We had two rooms with fireplaces, so realxing! And the breakfast - it was so good and free too. Absolutely loved it. The staff was also so friendly and the Inn is only a 5-10 minute walk from the ocean and it seemed like the central street. I would love to visit again. :)

    Nothing everything was perfect.

    Being from the UK I had a desire to visit the California coast line (not too far from San Francisco). I booked here thinking it was near Monterey - a 6 minute drive. Oh how glad I did book this place, a quite beautiful town, lots of lovely places to eat and not from Carmel - a beauty on the coast. The hotel was perfect, the staff so nice, the breakfast top notch, and a relaxing vibe everywhere, flame fire in the evening, not drinks and a glass of wine ....... perfect perfect perfect. Not to mention everything was spotlessly clean and beds were so comfortable. I'm not visiting the area again, but if you do stay here!

    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 staff and hospitality was superb!

    • Stayed 2 nights

    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 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 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.

    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 thing that could be improved is being able to open the windows as they were sash windows that didn’t stay open.

    Unique, historical property with a modern twist. we loved the attention to detail, excellent cleanliness and friendly staff who offered a personalised experience.

    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.

    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).
