My friend and I took an impromptu trip to the coast. We always struggle to find a cost effective stay with a great location. Pacific Grove Inn was the perfect mix of both. We were only a 5 minute walk to the beach, a great coastal trail and many food options. It was a quick drive to the monarch sanctuary, Carmel shopping, Cannery row and Point Lobos State park. The room was clean and quiet. The fireplace was such a great touch. It was nice to warm up next to it after a long day of hiking in the brisk coastal air! I will definitely be staying here again.
