Stayed there one night but will definitely come back since the beach is cross the street especially with kids. Check in was easy, our room was 2 beds second floor, clean sheets, clean room with a fridge and microwave was a plus for us. The beds were soft and we all slept well. The only thing that kind of suck is parking. read more

Lovers Point Inn - Hotels Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

If I could give this establishment less than one star, I would. I had booked a room for Presidents Day weekend, months in advance as a birthday surprise for my husband. As we were literally in route to the hotel I received a call from a front desk clerk (she did not provide her name) at the Lovers Point Inn. I called her back as soon as I was able to and was told that the credit card I had provided did not go through. I apologized and attempted to give her my new credit card details but the lady interjected and told me "There is no point giving me another card, I gave up your room because you had given us a fake card." While I was annoyed that she had given away my room, I was absolutely outraged that she would accuse me of providing a fake credit card. I had booked the room under my maiden name with my old credit card. The day before our reservation, I called and spoke to a woman named Iris who had assured me that she did not need my credit card and that they would secure my payment details upon arrival. When I asked to speak to the supervisor and explain what had happened, I was hung up on. I have worked in the hotel industry for years. This is not how you treat guests. Please talk to your staff and coach them on the proper ways to handle problems. To accuse a guest of credit card fraud is literally never acceptable. I will be sure to never stay at the Lovers Point Inn, and caution everyone I know to avoid it as well. read more

Outstanding location with the best prices in town. Clean and updated rooms. Helpful staff throughout. Have stayed several times and always completely satisfied! read more

What can I say? We really enjoyed our 1st anniversary vacation at the Lover's point inn. It's not the super best hotel ever, but it's very nice and the price for an ocean view room is more than right. We got 3 nights though Orbitz for $400 on the 4th of July weekend, but if you have any questions before you book, CALL THE HOTEL DIRECTLY. Fast wifi tested at over 6 mbps, free breakfast, and the service is OUTSTANDING. Every person had a wonderful attitude and was more than happy to spend many minutes helping us plan our tourist stops. Within walking distance from the aquarium, but even better you can drive 4 of the 6 blocks to the aquarium and then park for free all day! And they even let me raid their free salt water taffy bowl multiple times each day! MMM I've been eating that stuff for days! OH! I almost forgot! The king bed was SOOOO AWESOME!!! And the Pillows were better than any I have at home! Also my wife says the organic shampoo and conditioner and lotion they provide free were really REALLY awesome! When we go to Monterey we most certainly will be back. Thanks Lover's point Inn! read more

Let's just start off by saying that I have mixed feelings about this place. I made my reservation a month in advance, selecting a third floor room. My husband and I had picked this hotel because of its location right across from Lover's Point Park. Upon check-in we were assigned room 302. Mind you, the third floor is supposed to have the best view, at least that's what the descriptions and reviews say online, hence the reason for picking this floor. We walked up the stairs only to find that the window view of our room was obstructed by the staircase. I went back down to the office to see if they had any other rooms available, even on the first or second floor, to which the gentleman replied that they were completely booked. He didn't offer to accommodate us in any other way. Sad part is, the view from the first floor was better than the view from our room, and was a cheaper rate than what I had paid. Not to mention, the housekeeping closet was directly across from our room- so much for sleeping in. The chatter from the housekeepers woke us up as they were congregating together to get their supplies, and it's not like it only lasted a minute. Since we were already awake, we decided to go down to the office and get something to eat since they have a continental breakfast. They had bagels, muffins, toast, cereal, hard-boiled eggs, juice, milk, and coffee. Not too bad. We ate a small portion, enough to satisfy our hunger for the time being. One thing I thought was nice is they have coffee available all day while the office is open. If it wasn't for the location, I would have given this hotel a lower rating. We were steps from the beach, and only a mile from Cannery Row. I will stay here again, but I have learned my lesson about the third floor rip-off. First or second floor will work just fine next time. read more

Very disappointed our tv reception was horrible lines through every channel, paint on walks chipping, musty smell, no heater only plug in and only a few outlets with power srips and can't plug a port heater to one is dangerous. No breakfast offerEd due to Covid-19's however all other places I stay provided breakfast so not sure why they wouldn't for the price. Sad to say but will never book again. i would never recommend . read more

The only good thing about this place is location and cleanliness, although that's a bit hard to say sincerely since my last two stays, I had ants in my room. I have stayed at this Inn a total of six times and as it gets older it just gets worse and worse but the owner or management is reluctant to invest any of the profit. The plumbing fixtures are outdated and barely funcional. The shower valve for my room was extremely hard to turn and it didn't regulate anymore as when you would turn the handle all the way to cold, the water would still be hot. The walls are paper thin, the place screams for renovations everywhere, there's not even continental breakfast, there's no a/c. Don't get me wrong, I loved my first two stays, as mentioned before; the location is ideal, the type of hotel it's expected for the area, and the overall quality is extremely bearable, some rooms are better than others even if chosen with the same criteria. read more

Ya know what? When you decide at the last minute to stay the night in Pacific Grove rather than drive all the way back up to San Francisco, this is literally the best deal in the whole Monterey/Cannery Row/Pac Grove area. We drove around comparing prices and this one was the cheapest. (We're obvioulsy not picky.) The girl behind the counter was SO SWEET and she even upgraded us to a more expensive room on the 2nd floor which was totally secluded for the cheaper price of the rooms on the bottom floor. Only thing is that this place probably hasn't been updated since the 1970s, but that just adds to the charm. There's cable and a jacuzzi tub. What more do you need? Thanks Lover's Point Inn! See You next time! read more

Lovers Point Inn - The Lover's Point Inn - Hotels Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

This is normally our go to motel when we stay in PG and we have never had a problem. The proximity to the town and the beach is phenomenal. And if you stay during the weekdays, the prices are cost effective! However, this time was different. My husband and I checked in at 4pm. We put our items in our room and headed out for an early dinner. Upon returning , we found our door wide open and a maintenance man in our room! We had not called anyone to fix anything so this was a HUGE surprise. And even to more of our surprise, he told us we needed to come back!! We were not happy and I went to the front desk where it took them 10 minutes to get him out of our room. To make matters worse, we had even put a Do Not Disturb sign on our door before we left and he still entered! read more

The room wasn't very spacious, but it was cozy. Bed was really comfortable. Everything was pretty clean. I booked the king sized bed room with ocean view on the 3 rd floor of the room. In the room, you get access to your own refrigerator and microwave oven. Yes, the hotel description says room with ocean view, you do see the ocean from your window. For the continental breakfast, the food was about average, and they don't have indoor seating for breakfast. You have to sit outside, which I was fine with. After all, what's a better way to start a day with having breakfast really close to the beach? read more

Lovers Point Inn - View of the ocean from room on 3 rd floor. - Hotels Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

The location is great if you're staying in Monterey. If you're going to Laguna Seca it's all surface streets to get to and from the inn - not as convenient. The Good: * Location: Lover's Point is directly across the street and it's only a mile from Cannery Row/Monterey Bay Aquarium (there's a nice path parallel to the ocean from the inn to Monterey) * Reasonably priced, relative to the area and location * Our room had a balcony with an ocean view (room 301) * Room was clean (except the bird poop on the balcony) * Staff was very friendly * Free WiFi (slow at times, but it worked) * Free parking The Bad: * Bathroom was small; no vanity - just a sink (bathroom door handle stuck sometimes) * Towels were a little scratchy and quite thin * Room was pretty small (but it worked for what we needed it for - sleeping) * No ocean view from the room, just from the balcony The Other: * Bed was average * Room has been renovated, but it's still clearly older (smelled like an older room, carpet looked older) Will we stay here again? Probably not . . . we booked here on account of it having been a REALLY busy event weekend (Monterey Jazz Festival & American Le Mans Race @ Laguna Seca) and everywhere else we would've stayed was booked. This place is very convenient for Pacific Grove/Monterey but not so much for Laguna Seca. read more

Horrible. Ghetto. Bed was as hard as the floor. Outdated. Toilets overflowed. Continental breakfast bad, consisted of cereal and juice. Maid tried to come into our room in the morning uninvited. Parking garage had construction stuff. read more

A lot of posts mention the view but that's not what I grade an actual property on. I grade it on the actual property. Photos from 5 years ago are misleading. This motel had none staff but overall it's a bad practice of hospitality. The rooms have stained carpet. A hotel near the beach should have hard floors. The beds were lumpy. The fire alarms had a light that blinded you at night. The layout of the motel will cause you to see the cleaning crew which isn't bad except they left dirty laundry out next to the rooms and were loud in the morning. The walls are so thin it's like having roommates with your neighbor. The entire place had the vibe of a shady no tell motel from the 60s. I hate feeling taken advantage of because the location is good. This is how it felt. Unless the motel is fully demolished, there is no way the rates should be as high as they are. And I visited in the off season. read more

We have been going there for years This last stay was very disappointing Reserved 2 Rooms 1-2nd 1-3rd floor Ants everywhere one room heater not working, hair dryer didn't work in both rooms coffee pot dirty and Beds Hard No Maintenance there to fix anything we left a day early. Also no more tables and chairs outside to sit like before. Won't return till they fix their problems. Still waiting for my credit Slow to return read more

Location is the selling point. Its pricey. Nothing fancy about this motel. Our room was on the 3rd floor overlooking the ocean but Borgs motel was kinda blocking the view. The pic was taken this morning around 7am from our room. Breakfast is very basic- cereal, boiled eggs, toast, pancakes, milk, orange, bananas, apple and juice. Be sure to take your breakfast early as they dont refill their food. They have underground parking next to the fountain in case you couldn't find any spot outside. They don't have AC but there's a ceiling fan and portable fan. I might try the other motel which was really overlooking the ocean. read more

Lovers Point Inn - Hotels Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

Exactly what I was expecting. Very close to the beach and a great view from our room. The staff was incredibility friendly. The room was a bit outdated, but it was clean and comfortable. It had a few fans, a flat screen TV, a small refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. Parking can be a bit tough if parking in the garage in a larger vehicle, I had no problems in my mid size car. I will definitely be staying here again. read more

Lovers Point Inn - My view from room 307. - Hotels Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

This was ok for the night but definitely not your 3 star regular hotel and my night was overpriced even after I called in and asked them to honor the Expedia rate. I was told my reservation was within 72 hours and could not be cancelled or changed to the lower rate. Room for the most part was clean and was tried to be made into a modern room but you could definitely notice the wear and tear of a motel. We stayed in room 202. Our bathroom door was peeling, tub cracked, entry door was pretty gross and needed to be repainted or severely cleaned. The walls are extremely thin so we heard couples having fun from different rooms at all hours of the night and morning :) I paid for a room with a view that was tucked behind a cleaning closet which was pretty disappointing too. Staff was nice and super friendly upon check-in and check -out. the area is beautiful. This hotel could use a major renovation inside and out and could be a real gem but until then patrons will have to make do. read more

It's an older INN with dated amenities that could use some serious renovations, particularly in the underground parking and cooling system within the rooms but its location far outweighs its flaws. It's a brief walking distance from the beach picnic area, which is the reason my family continually returns to this spot during school breaks. Our room was quaint and well furnished with clean and comfortable beds. I especially adored the mesh between nautical & shabby-chic interior decor. It really sets a warm and welcoming tone compared to the rest of the building. We didn't get to try the complimentary breakfast the next morning, and although it's not the greatest stay among our list of travels, its convenience and quality will warrant a return visit. read more

For the 4th of July, place was not bad. There were a few ants in the bathroom. And I am not a fan of wicker furniture. But it generally looked clean. Our only major complaint is that we checked in around 9:30pm It was Friday night and person behind counter was obviously stoned or drunk. You could see it in his eyes. There was a sign posted on sliding door to office stating he would be back in 30 min taking a break. When he came back he was on his cell phone talking to what we assumed were friends. Getting key card and checked-in took longer then it should of. But like I said place was not bad. read more

Pros: Clean room. Small but spacious. Great location, our room even had a view of the beach. Right across the street from a great park, restaurant, grill, and cafe. Friendly staff. Free continental breakfast. Parking. Cons: Could use a new coat of paint in the lobby, outside, and in the room (wall lights had been moved, and holes filled, but not repainted). Bed was a little hard. This is an older hotel, but it is in the perfect location, it took 30 seconds to get to the beach. We even walked over with our free breakfast and ate it at the picnic tables in the park. If you can get over the hotel looking a little dated, you'll be happy! read more

We were at the end of our next adventure and booked this hotel rm#317 king size bed with full ocean view We were "greeted" by Royally who ignored my hello until he was finished with whatever he was doing, for about 30 sec's later - he turned out to be a nice guy... Well the ocean view wasn't full needless to say it was blocked by another hotel... The room was nice with a refrigerator, microwave and spa jet tub - well the spa jet tub didn't work because "THERE WASNT ONE" we were told to just fill the tub up to the line but we believe even by doing this we didn't think the jets were going to magically appear so we didn't bother... All in all we enjoyed each other stay in a nice clean hotel... read more

Would give less than 1 star if I could. Was quoted one price for a room and charged more because they said they didn't have my room available.. even though I pre booked. Paid the extra and then got to my room, ocean view is not ocean view, blocked by buildings, AC is broken, fan they provide is broken, AND the phone is broken. Manager not on site and staff told me he won't help me if he was. Cancelled my second night and going somewhere else. read more

The Monterey Peninsula is a romantic area. Full of coastal views, white sand beaches, romantic B&B's, expensive golf resorts, couples celebrating their anniversary, families visiting the aquarium. None of this helps me. See I'm a single gal who was travelling with another single gal to see a concert in Monterey a couple weeks ago and that posed a challenge when it came to affordable lodging. We wanted a room that was affordable with 2 Queen beds near Cannery Row that wasn't either totally run down or decorated in 1925. See I'm all for nostalgia but for whatever reason, those overly-floral bedspreads and brick-a-brack you tend to find inns packed with make me anxious, uncomfortable and remind me of a dirty grandmother's house. (note: my grandmother's house was always perfectly clean so please don't pass judgement on her sweet soul that this has somehow become my thought process) Enter Lover's Point Inn. They had an affordable 2nd floor room with onsite parking available even on a weekend with inflated rates due to the event we were attending. The rooms aren't giant or flashy but they do have flat screen TV's, clean crisp linens, refrigerators in room for those of you who like that sort of thing, and friendly staff to welcome you. Lover's Point is a short enough stroll to the action at Cannery Row but also puts you in a slightly more secluded area right across from Lover's Point Park if you're looking to spend a more quiet weekend. This wouldn't be my choice for a romantic getaway but for families and friends it's a great option in an area that needs that. read more

Lovers Point Inn - The beds are totally ideal for a slumber party - Hotels Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

Nearly all hotels in the Monterey and Carmel area were sold out so I gave the Lover's Point Inn a try. The room was OK. It was cleaner than I expected and the staff was very friendly. We checked in during the Inn's wine and cheese reception and the staff encouraged us to enjoy some wine. The view from our room was nice. We could see the Lover's Point Park across the street and we had an obstructed view of Monterey Bay (I've paid hundreds of $$ more for a "bay view" like this). There are some gorgeous views from Lover's Point and it's a very short walk from the Inn. The parking at the Inn nearly became an issue when we returned to the Inn at 2:30 am and there were no spots outside and only one spot inside the garage that was a very tight squeeze, requiring the passengers to get out of the car before I parked. There was no parking available on the street, so I probably would have parked blocks away from the Inn if that last spot in the garage had not been available. We stayed for two nights and both mornings we were woken up at 6:15 am and 7:00 am consecutively by sound systems for a marathon and a walkathon in the park across the street. Normally this would not have been much of an issue, but we didn't get to bed until 3:00 am the night before. I would most likely stay here again if none of my regular hotels have vacancies and will prepare myself for an early morning wakeup. read more

The room is small. Smaller than you expect. The queen bed we expected is actually a full. It's like a motel 6 experience...

Great location but really mediocre room. The TV didn't work and everything felt kind of old. I actually slept on top on the bedspread because it all felt a little off. read more

Location is amazing. Stayed here for business so it was nice to be able to go to hotel at the end of the day, park the car and walk the path along the ocean. Felt very safe in the area. Walking distance to restaurants in Pacific Grove, Aquarium, Cannery Row. Only downsides; ants in the room near nightstand, breakfast was falsely advertised (no fresh pastries only sliced bread, boiled eggs and a pancake maker). I will stay here again because of the location and close proximity to the sites. read more

Came here from 09/09-09/12/2014 second time in 2 years. Had a ocean view room on the 3rd floor. The rooms are nice but small like all the other Yelper's said. No AC, not really needed since the ocean breezes in and it's not all that hot in Pacific Grove. The Breakfast bar is pretty good, great location next to Lover's Point Park and a walking trail to Monterey Bay Cannery Row. Why only 3 stars? When my last review was 5 stars. 1) The sink clogged up easily and had to wait for the maintenance man to come repair it. Was not willing to move us to another room when we asked the front desk. 2) Smoking asshats next door smoking in front of their room sitting on chairs with all that second hand smoke blowing into our room. They were in a Non-Smoking Room so WTF is wrong here? We slammed our windows closed loudly so to let them know that we didn't like that. Complained to the front desk twice about it, the first time nothing was done and the second time that finally moved to the lower corner away from our room to smoke their shit. read more

We've stayed here at least three times so far. It is a decent, clean and affordable beach town motel with an ideal location. It is not a boutique hotel. Some rooms are decorated more tastefully than some others. We last stayed in 302, which definitely needed a facelift. Beware of the "ocean view"; it is spotty, especially from the second floor. The breakfast is OK with a nice outdoor seating area where you can enjoy breakfast while still seeing the ocean and potentially sharing your food with seagulls! The catch? It is almost always too cold too relax, especially in the early morning hours. A hot item on the menu can take it to the next level. The missing star is for the lack of outdoor heaters at breakfast, and the inconsistency in the aging rooms. read more

Worst night ever! The walls are paper thin and being on the second floor we had someone above us who made so much noise, sleeping was impossible. The room was shabby and old, coffee maker with no pot, bathroom was super dated and the fan obnoxiously loud, gross windows and it smelled old and musty. We asked for an ocean view when booking and had a great view of a building in front of us. Very disappointing. Our alarm went off at 8 apparently along with every other room in the place because all we could hear were slamming doors and banging around, so we literally got 5 hours sleep! The location is great and we spent a little over $100 for a night, so it's cheap, but we should have stayed at Borgs if we wanted cheap, at least they have a view. Next time we will go back to staying in Pacific Grove. read more

Room is old and funky. Does not look like what was advertised on Hotels.com. Got there to find a stuffy room with no AC, Internet not working, and TV turned to fuzz about 20 mins after we got settled. Since I'm here on business, I wasn't able to get my work done which kinda sucked. Really wish I had stayed somewhere else. If you're here on vacation and don't plan on spending any time in your room it's perfect. read more

Lovers Point Inn - View of the funky room and non working TV. :( - Hotels Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

The pics on on hotel booking sites are so fraudulent. There is only one remodeled room and it's the king suite that's isn't bookable online. The only options are king bed or queens so you'd think that you would be getting the room shown by choosing king. Wrong. This is a very old hotel that has some very funky things. The king room was clean and the bed was squealing but not totally worn so only ok. The elevator was tiny so the bikes needed to be carried up the stairs. The staff was very nice and apologetic but not trained on how to switch room and very frustrated that hotels. had false advertising so that every guest was upset. If you are looking for a nice place to stay, skip this one. If you just need to crash for the night for an early dive it's ok. Also the walls were thin and the Next door guests liked some unique music and several guests were smoking outside their rooms so not kid friendly and if you are sensitive to smoke or want open windows this is not for you. If you are young and want to smoke up and party you might like this? read more

10/2019 update Met ALL my needs so they get 5 stars New stairs, new personnel Missed LISA, but staff very nice Got 20% return customer discount Sea gulls still swoop down on people who eat outside Across street, bottom level of the Beach House restaurant, is a great coffee shop Motels all have the same toxic food Got a large Americano and an egg croissant ($12.78) In room 306 again! LOVE being able to see my breathtaking ocean! PERFECT? Nope. Had rowdy, inconsiderate guests next to me Desk was going to speak to them considering yelling and partying past 2AM and starting nx day at 630am! Happens everywhere Hot water, clean sheets, perfect pillows Only need a bathroom and a bed to sleep on anyways STILL needs renovating but STILL a great location Can walk in to Pacific Grove see Museum, Pavel's bakery, Peppers Mexican resto on Forest Ave AND I even saved $ by NOT renting a CAR Took the BUS to Crystal Fish restaurant (GREAT SUSHI) on Lighthouse! (Bus #1 comes right outside the Inn) Bus 2 took me to Yi's Korean BBQ on Forest ave bback 2020 OCTOBER is perfect! read more

I hate writing bad reviews but feel our experience at Lovers Point Inn is important to share so that others don't fall into our troubles. The website's pictures do not accurately represent the rooms as it only shows the good angle of the room. Essentially, it seems like there's been minimal upkeep/improvements to the place in the last 2 decades. The room we were initially put in had stains on the bed, chipped/missing countertops on the ledge between the sink and bed area, and dead bugs in the windowsill. Additionally, the television is very small and doesn't work properly. When I brought these things to the attention of the staff, they offered to change the sheets (eventually we were given a new room). Each of the rooms is slightly different from what I could see through the windows. If you just need a place to lay your head for one night, this place is fine and the room is clean but that's a gamble. The one saving grace of this hotel was the location with it being across the street from Lovers Point. But the hotel itself is not worth it. read more

Disappointed! In myself and this "hotel"... Should have researched more. The photos on their site and on booking.com made it look great. We booked for the 3rd floor king room with an ocean view and a bath, but got the first floor king with no bath and a view of a staircase! They said we had the "nice" room... $189 for a dud. read more

Pros: Best place to stay on the coast for the price, gorgeous views, close to everything, nice staff, hot coffee, warm bed, falling asleep listening to ocean waves. Cons: Yes, it's outdated and showing its age just like the rest of us. Would I stay here again? Most definitely! Would I recommend it to others? No! Because then it would be booked all the time and I couldn't stay here read more

Don't make a reservation on their website! We booked a room here to celebrate our anniversary. Booked it directly on the Lovers Point Inn website, and got a confirmation number. On the day of our check-in we were told they lost our reservation due to technical issues! And they had no rooms available, so all we got was "Sorry"! read more

This place was awful. When I initially checked in everything was fine yet when I get to the room I find out 1. They put us in front of the elevator with zero view which I paid for. 2. There was no AC. 3. Absolutely no hot water for the entire weekend. I was coming with service dogs - something they already knew about and approved of - yet they illegally charged me a pet fee. I don't know who manages this hell hole but I'd rather pay a larger amount than stay at this glorified motel with TERRIBLE front desk service. "Lisa" was just rude and illiterate, avoid at all costs. The ONLY good thing was location. read more

1 star for location only. The staff is nice. The bed is uncomfortable and makes tons of noise every time you move. There are ants, even on the toilet. The tv didn't work, like purple and green fuzzy. The rooms are old and the pictures aren't accurate. I would never stay here again. read more

This was probably the worst experience I've ever had at a hotel/motel. We checked in around 7pm, put our stuff down and went to dinner. By the time we got back to the room it was about 10:30, so we were forced to park in the underground parking which is extremely steep. Basically any sedan will scrape. (I drive a 2015 Honda Accord). After we get back to the room, my boyfriend used the bathroom (#1 only) and the toilet immediately clogged. We attempted to call the front desk. No answer. So we were without a bathroom all night, which at 7 months pregnant is not possible, so I ended up having to pee in the shower. Neither of us slept much due to the loudness of the other guests. We got up at 8 and left. Housekeeping is extremely loud in the am, and also don't have a service elevator, so they try to squeeze into the tiny elevator with their huge carts. The free breakfast was basically coffee and fruit, so we skipped it. Nothing is really updated. The shower knob was very difficult to turn. The exit for the parking garage is closed, so you have to drive down and make a 26 point u turn in a 1 lane garage to get out. Not sure how anyone with a larger car would be able to actually get out. About the only positive thing I have to say about this place is that it's less than a block from Lover's Pointe, which I think is the only reason they actually get business. But there are several other places to stay that are also close by, so do yourself a favor and spend an extra 50$ to stay there. read more
