My group was in town for our 40-year HS reunion and we had a great stay at the penthouse. Everything was as advertised. The only surprise was that the views from the balcony/patio were even better than we expected. The penthouse was clean and the furniture was very comfortable. The location is terrific. Pacific Grove is not a late night hot spot - so, this wouldn't be the location if that is what you are looking for. But if you want beautiful scenery in a quaint neighborhood with lots of nice restaurants and shops within close walking distance, this is perfect. You can also walk to Cannery Row in minutes and it's a short drive to Carmel and downtown Monterey. Four of us brought cars and everyone found on-street parking easily. Check in/out were painless. The group agreed we would all stay here again.
