The Pacific Grove Inn was a great home base for the weekend in the Monterey area. Downtown Pacific Grove is just a block down, and the ocean itself is two or three more blocks after that. My brother and I stayed in the Melinda Potter Buck suite, which has one queen bed in the main area and a twin bed in the same room but separated by a door. We were on the second floor, and it should be noted that we were able to hear the water running above us. Didn't bother us too much though. Our room was great: the beds were cozy, there are extra blankets and a small portable heater available if needed, complementary coffee, tea, and wifi.
The inn itself is great as well: they offer local tips, literature for those interested in reading up the history behind this inn, and emphasize the importance of relaxing and being device free -- they have a common room and area where guests may intermingle, hang out, play chess or cards, or socialize without the devices... should you choose to. Wi-fi was complementary but it was not great in our room; however, we spent most of our time out and about. The parking lot is small: 12 spaces for cars, and 1 for handicap if I recall correctly. Street parking is available if needed. We anticipated checking in past 8, and they were flexible with our late check-in time by providing papers for us to fill out and sign upon arrival in our room. No breakfast provided here, but that should give you incentive to check out the local eateries!
