The location is great! The new exterior paint color really gives the property an update 👍

Nothing!

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 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 staff and hospitality was superb!

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.

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 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.

It was a nice stay in a great location downtown Pacific Grove. Very surprised with the wine and cheese hour daily. The room was quiet and comfortable. Gosby house made us feel at home

Would have been more convenient to have a little more counter space on the bathroom vanity. The bathroom was updated and spacious. Offering additional vanity counterspace would have made the visit much more comfortable.

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

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

Great location and staff. Included breakfast and happy hour were also great.

Room was noisy and you could hear nearby doors being slammed and any vacuuming in the vicinity of the room.

We enjoyed staying in The Trimmer. The room was charming, the fireplace was very cozy with a good size gas flame, the bed was very comfortable, the patio was very enjoyable in the afternoon. We took our wine and snacks outside to eat. The breakfast was yummy and it was served late enough so we could sleep in a bit. Also, it was a very quiet room. The location is awesome, you can easily walk to lots of shops, restaurants and the beach.

The bathroom fixtures were a bit tarnished and the bathroom was small, no place to put things. The staff were nice, but at one point my husband had a question and the only staff member was on the phone for a long time, he returned a couple times and finally got an answer to his question about 15 minutes later.
