Nice breakfast (scones and made to order yogurt parfaits) - they have trays to take back to the room. Loved the garden cottage, we have loud kids so it was great to let them play while not disturbing other guests. Also really enjoyed the cozy gas fireplace. The staff were very friendly.

Enjoyed a low-key, holiday season stay in this lovely property just a short walk from Lovers Point. No excuses for skipping exercise, with numerous waterfront paths offering stunning views of the bay. Staff is welcoming and friendly; the inn provides a tasty continental breakfast and keeps a self-serve, mini-bakery stocked throughout the day. Guests are offered wine in the evening that can be enjoyed before the cozy fire in the dining room. Our king size bed was luxurious; enjoyed the best sleep ever! Don't miss a stroll through the garden, punctuated with three whimsical water fountains and some

From the delicious cookies and wine at arrival, to the hearty farewell when we departed, every moment at the Centrella was one to cherish. Warm hospitality, clean, comfortable, and romantic rooms, and high standards for COVID protocols made our trip much, much too short! We will return ASAP!

Cute spot in a terrific location in Monterey. Perfect for aquarium visits, dining, and walks along the beach.

We always enjoy our stays here.
We enjoy the parlor where breakfast is served, especially when it is sunny 🌞. The room is so warm and bright.
This stay was in early December and the inn was beautifully decorated, with a gorgeous tree.
We missed the wonderful breakfasts of years past, but also enjoyed the breakfast parfaits and scones that were served.
We will return as we always enjoy visiting the inn and the near by monarch butterfly 🦋 preserve and all that the area has to offer.

We stayed here for our mini moon in early December 2021. I picked it because online it was the best rating to price ratio for the dates we wanted. It was Walking distance from several great places to eat (we went to toasties and the red house cafe) and from lovers point, which was a scenic and easy mile walk to the aquarium and cannery row. Free generously poured glass of wine each evening if we got back before 9. The rooms were comfortable and had nice showers and beds. Was a lovely and reasonably priced stay for a relaxed couples trip, would definitely stay here again.

We stayed 2 nights, midweek. Our room was small but very comfortable. Nice amenities like quality soaps, towels and comfy bed. Staff were all very friendly. Complementary glass of wine in the evening and continental breakfast in morning. Walking distance to several good places to eat. We plan to return.

The first night my girlfriend was a little scared thinking it was haunted but that fear quickly faded. The rooms are quaint and peaceful, the entire inn has a really nice antique feeling to it. The yogurt parfaits, fresh scones, fresh cookies, and coffee are all made from scratch. The staff are super friendly and hospitable, which can be rare in California. We will be staying here whenever we are in pacific grove or Monterey area in the future. We had a wonderful stay in the premiere rooms.

Great stay super close to Lover's Point Beach and an about 30-minute walk to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Parfait and scones were delicious!

Great stay at the Centrella Inn this past weekend. The wife and I went to Monterey and lived our stay at the Inn. All the staff were friendly and efficient. It was super close to dining, shopping, and the Aquarium. We would stay here again when we are back in the area, and so should you.

Fantastic experience, unique building, well done decor, cozy gathering area, excellent service. Next time we’ll take our puppy to see what she thinks of the dog friendly cottages. Can’t wait to visit again. Congratulations 🎈🍾 to the excellent execution of this historic building. The wine and the morning coffee is outstanding!

Currently writing this review as we drive away from our stay at Centrella Inn. Such a wonderful getaway with an amazing atmosphere. Staff was phenomenal and the coffee/tea/scones/yogurt parfaits in the morning were the best to enjoy on a lazy Sunday morning. We will be back!!!

Amazing location, very clean, polite staff, very comfortable beds. Not much of a breakfast (years ago it was a full breakfast. Now a scone and bad coffee). I asked for a quiet room, and was given a front room on the main street, which meant very little sleep. But the room was sweet. Pretty bay window

The rooms are absolutely adorable, very clean and the service provided by the manager and the other employees was absolutely outstanding. It was our first time staying here and we cannot wait to go back. The homemade cookies were delicious and the outside garden area was relaxing. It's one of the best bed-and-breakfast I've been too Especially because of such an affordable price. Not to mention the yummy yogurt parfait that they serve in the morning.

A quaint and pleasant place tucked away in a corner of Pacific Grove just a 3 minute walk to the beach. It's clean and well kept for its age. The host Erna, was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would look forward to coming back again.

So sad to leave this review as we actually really liked our cottage, and the location is amazing. I've been hopeful over the last month Centrella Inn would rectify this situation, but despite my attempts, they have not.
The weekend of 2/13 my husband, son, pup and I booked one of their cottages for two nights at a total of roughly $900. During our stay the glass overlay of a wooden coffee table was damaged when my refillable water bottle fell over. The table itself was not damaged at all, but the glass piece on top of the table, not necessary for the tables function, broke into two large pieces

My wife selected this hotel as a weekend get-away because of its price and location to surrounding attractions. We stayed in room 20. It was smaller than a typical hotel room. The shower stall was newly-remodeled and looked a little out of place in this Victorian-style manor with its ancient plumbing.

Breakfast consisted of frittatas and an assortment of side dishes and orange juice.

Service was fast and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

We gave 4 stars because someone (we think it was a housekeeper) tried to enter our room while we were in bed. After we announced ourselves, she

Centrella Inn is such a quaint bed and breakfast in Pacific Grove. Great location! It's in downtown and it's so nice to walk around and window shop or look around for antique stores or book stores or cafes. Our room was very nice and they did serve breakfast in the morning, you could eat it outside in their courtyard or take it to your room.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here, I would have given them 5 stars except for two things: the windows aren't designed to be closed completely and the air quality that weekend wasn't good. The other thing is that my husband noticed

I had a lovely last-minute stay at the Centrella Inn last fall, and it was wonderful. First, the room we stayed in was one of the cottages on the premises, and we really enjoyed the privacy that afforded. The space was nice and big, with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a front sitting room. I enjoyed having that extra space, as it meant we could relax in a place other than on the bed. Further, because the bedroom was in the rear (not on the street, but on the interior of the property), it was very quiet. We also loved the little garden right outside our door.

Next, the staff was excellent. Every single
