This was my first trip since Covid started, and I couldn't have picked a better location in Pacific Grove for the price range I could afford. It's a few blocks from the cute downtown area and Lover's Point Beach, and it took just minutes to get to Cannery Row.
Usually, when I book a room in an actual bed & breakfast place, I receive good service. Unfortunately, this was not the case at the Pacific Grove Inn.
Just like another reviewer posted 4 months ago, the room we were in had a thin white curtain on the glass door, which let in all of the light in the early morning. The blackout curtains on the window were stuck and would not close all the way. I called the phone number to ask the manager to fix the curtains, but he did nothing. First he said that the staff was gone for the day. When I told him that we were not going to be able to sleep with the curtains open and that we needed him to take care of it, he asked for my phone number and said he would call me back with a solution. I never heard from him again. I ended up putting a blanket from my car over the door glass and using hair ties to help keep the curtains closed. After I returned home, I read a review that talked about this exact room and the terrible, non-working curtains. They had 4 months to fix this but chose not to.
The shower head is really low, so tall people will need to bend over to rinse off in the shower. We weren't aware that the towel rack in the bathroom was a heated drying rack because it remained cold for most of our stay, turning itself on for one short period of time, and there were no directions on how to turn it off and on.
