The Lodge has the best view for the most perfect brunch in Pebble Beach! It's hard to have it all, but The Lodge has great food, service, and views! There were absolutely no complaints from my end. We had a reservation for 11:30 on a Sunday and it was not super busy on the outside patio. We were warmly greeted and our server was excellent! He made us feel very welcomed and was sure to tell us that he could make us any drink possible! We ordered the butter lettuce salad with chicken and the mushroom ragu rollatini. The salad was refreshing and I loved the light and herby dressing it came with. The chicken is a definite must! The mushroom ragu rollatini was the star of the show and I did not miss the meat at all! I love Don Angie's rollatini lasagna in NYC, and this one had me just as mesmerized. The view in itself is worth coming here and the food is very good as well! I highly recommend The Lodge!

I loved soaking in our tub

My stay at Pebble Beach Resorts was iconic. Thank you to all of the staff for making our stay feel personable. I can't express enough that this place is true perfection. You must stop by the Spa at Pebble Beach to have a divine treatment. I will definitely be returning!

You can't beat the views and the ambience here! Service is impeccable and the drinks and food are top notch! Please note that they do follow rules of etiquette, where men are not allowed to wear hats inside - no matter what kind of hat (though there is an outside area where there are allowed). I love stopping here anytime I'm in the area.

Come for the view, but don't expect to be wowed by the food or service... :-( The view of Pebble Beach is a great finish after your slow journey through the 17-mile drive. As for the food, it is pretty much ordinary yet highly priced. The drinks are watered down, and the service is somewhat aloof... that is the only explanation I can reason as to why it would take over 40 minutes to make a cheeseburger and fries If you want that perfect sunset and beautiful scenery, this place will not disappoint you. Food and drinks... well that's another story.

Always special!!! Never disappoints views,service ,weather , food .. all just right anytime of year!

Views are amazing. We had dessert and drinks here and enjoyed the stop we made. Was happy we were able to get in and sit awhile to cool down from the amazing weather. The coconut chiffon cake was our favorite.

A Landmark! =)

The Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance was an extremely successful adventure, for fans near and far. The outstanding international event hosts the elite automobile car show, with the finale Sunday on the 18th golf green. The many gatherings and parties are brilliant: with delicious artistic food creations shared at sit down dinners, buffets and shows including jazz musicians, tribal Native American performances, and drone laser air shows. Magnificent activities!!! Thank you kindly!

Pebble Beach is one of the last highlighted stops along the wonderful 17-Mile Drive Tour. If you enter "The Drive" at the Pacific Grove Gate and work your way around the beautiful coastline in a counterclockwise direction, you will eventually arrive here at Pebble Beach and this acclaimed Lodge overlooking the world famous 18th green. I recommend taking some time to exit your car and walk around the Lodge area which includes: shops and restaurants, access to the golf links and even a pathway to the sandy beach shores. The Lodge is sort of the centerpiece/focal point to Pebble Beach. Although I was just taking the 17-Mile Drive Tour for the day and not actually staying here as a guest, still...it was very nice to get some exposure to the game of golf. And, for those who may not know...this Pebble Beach golf region has a reputation for being host to one of the most scenic 18-hole courses in the world! Just that fact alone should motivate people to come visit and see what this place is all about. When I first arrived, I actually parked my car and walked inside the Pebble Beach Visitor Center which was great for purchasing a few golf souvenirs with the iconic PB Lone Cypress Tree stamped on most of the merchandise. Btw, you can view the Lone Cypress Tree hovering at the edge of the cliffside right nearby here along the 17-Mile Drive. Also at the VC, you can read about some of the terrific moments from Pebble Beach that will be etched in stone forever. But, I will write a separate review for the Visitor Center at a future time. I did leave my car at the Visitor Center parking lot and strolled over here to The Lodge, which was a casual walk of 400 feet and then started exploring. In the back section of The Lodge features a wonderful putting green to get some practice in before heading out onto the venerable course. Yes, so, I believe the Pebble Beach links are open for public use when they aren't hosting tournaments. A bunch of the lodge hotel rooms overlooked this putting green. To sum up the surroundings, it was just a surreal setting to even be walking around. Although I rarely golf, I felt like I was standing in quite a prestigious setting. The grounds were flawlessly groomed and in immaculate condition. Then, as just a visitor, I was allowed free access inside The Lodge. The lobby area had an old fashioned, throwback in time type of feel like only VIP's are allowed access to. It resembled an old Wall Street type of club where elite members get together. So, for me to be able to simply browse inside and out was exciting. Just past the lobby you can peer straight out onto the terrace area. Here, guests and golfers who had completed their outings were sitting, dining and admiring the postcard-like setting viewing the illustrious 18th hole putting green. Every table was occupied. It felt like I was standing among golfing royalty. I'm more of a tennis player so to relate this Lodge to a sport I'm familiar with, I was reminded of being at the grass lawns of Wimbledon. Walking down the hallways featured plenty of past trophy winners and awards highlighting champions of golf who've participated at Pebble Beach tournaments. There were pictures describing memorable endings. In some instances, golfers can have career defining moments transforming themselves from tournament hopefuls, to winning it all in one weekend and departing as legends of the game. Finally, just having the opportunity to get a firsthand glimpse into what makes Pebble Beach so well known as a mecca for professional golf was satisfying. Plus, with successfully completing the 17-Mile Drive Tour earlier in the day by taking in the sights of California's renowned coastline, ending things here at The Lodge was an amazing way to experience why Pebble Beach will forever be known as a world class golfing destination.

The view from almost anywhere on the main property
Helen H.

TLDR: Beautiful hotel and rooms, beautiful views from the main building, and beautiful facilities. A truly luxurious experience with some of the friendliest employees out there. HOTEL: My room was not in the main building but actually in a room to the side of the property. Though I didn't get an ocean view, I still had a lovely back patio overlooking a garden-type view with sounds of the water, which I still enjoyed. The room was incredibly spacious and clean (though I will note one anomaly, which was that there was a dead cockroach in one of the glass cups in the bathroom...). There were also daily complimentary snacks and waters (and some other necessities in the room like tubes of sunscreen that you could buy). The bathroom was open to the rest of the room meaning the only door was to the toilet on the side of it. That meant the shower was exposed to anyone in the room, which was fine for me but wanted to note in case this is an issue for others. HOTEL SERVICE: The hotel has individuals who are happy to drive you around the property on golf carts to get to your next destination since things can be so far apart. For example, the workout facility and driving range are quite far from the lobby so it's almost necessary for someone to cart you there unless you want to drive there in your own car yourself. Everyone I spoke to on these carts was so kind and funny and high energy, so it was always fun. There's also a pretty frequent and convenient shuttle to take you to courses, driving ranges, and other lodging. DINING: Lots of great dining options on the property including Stillwater for seafood and the Tap room for casual drinks or bar food. Bars are closed relatively early here except for the Tap Room, though still earlier then most bars in a city. FACILITIES: Breathtaking views while working out at the gym, though it's quite far from the main buildings. Has most basic things you'd expect though don't have too too many weights machines.

Amazing, simply the best California attraction. Love the weather and people are amazing

At the Lodge outside the library room terrace 44 years after we got married overlooking the 18th hole. Priceless.
Josie J.

On May 17, 1980 we got married at the Lodge on the library room terrace overlooking the 18th hole. Our wedding luncheon followed inside. On May 17, 2024 we returned to celebrate our 44th anniversary. The library room was locked, however a front desk person let us in and took our photo. It was a beautiful and emotional day.

Too foggy this morning

They've designed their hotel to look and feel like a little oasis. The intention was effective because it did feel like an enclosed paradise, quiet and pleasing to the eye. Our service during our drinks and pizza at their cafe and during breakfast time (included in our package) was excellent and staff were really friendly! Complimentary bubbles upon arrival which i love! Dog blankets outside. Good looking bathrooms. Aesthetically pleasing place. Robes and slippers in rooms. Luxurious sheets. My husband didn't love the bed but perhaps he just has a sensitive preference for his back. the rooms were swanky but small but we didn't mind it for 2 nights only. we spent a lot of time enjoying the nice weather outside.

While it has an intital…read morehigh end appearance and price point, the Stilwell Hotel lacks the some of the essentials of a true luxury stay. - Staff: during check in, we were helped by a tall blonde young man with a deep voice . He has 0 customer service skills and should not be customer facing. He had minimal eye contact, cold demeanor as if we were bothering him, mumbling, and just overall unpleasant. He had the demeanor of a bro cashier at a GNC. There was a guy next to him which I assume was IT or something since he was messing with something at the front. There was a woman who brought us a welcome glass of champagne, and Angel - who gave us a brief tour and brought our luggage to the room. Angel and the woman were nice. Champagne was good, however I wish they offered non alcoholic options like a juice or sparking cider. Throughout our stay, we encountered many staff on the property in passing - not a single smile from any of them. Even the housekeeping staff at a BestWestern are nicer than the staff here. - Room: gorgeous but small. Booking a room for 2 does not just mean having a big enough bed, but actually room for 2 humans to move around. There is not enough room to lay your luggage out anywhere, and the bathroom was narrow. I would've liked to have a towel bar by the sink instead of having a silly rock be what holds the towel up. The room is aesthetically stunning and the bed was very comfortable. I loved the ambient lighting options and motion activated under-lighting. I liked that we had a balcony. I enjoyed the soaps / lotions, as well all the nespresso in the room. Air conditioning worked well. Room was very clean. - Parking: parking was easy in the day. We lucked out at night but guests arriving after 8pm had nowhere to park, which we witnessed first hand. We saw a guest told the staff "the lot is full", and the staff said "just take the EV spot". What about your guests with EVs who need to charge their cars for the night? On another day, a large car was parked in the entrance into the hotel (not the street) and stayed there for 15 min which blocked entry for everyone else - i wish the staff came out to inform the guest that they couldn't leave their car the. The main lot is very tight with slim spots and awkward parking angles, but the back lot was good . While this wasn't an issue for me, I can imagine coming off of a long flight, finally getting to the hotel at night, and being frustrated at the lack of available parking. - Breakfast: this is the main reason we wanted to stay here. The breakfast itself is good, not great. The French toast, juice, chia pudding and eggs are best things - everything else is okay as I found some things to be stale such as the waffles and muffins. I did enjoy how the food is displayed, and there lots of variety. Staff is constantly refilling items so you never have to worry about things running out, regardless of when you arrive for breakfast. Breakfast is much later than it is at other hotels, and with a small window (8-10am), which can be an issue if you are planning to eat early prior to a hike. 2 staff stay in the area however they just stare at you from the corner of the room. No smile, no good morning. The first day, I felt like we were being stared at as if we were freeloaders sneaking in for free breakfast. It was very uncomfortable. Not sure if they were staring because we're younger than a majority of the other guests but there really is no excuse. I think they should do a wrist band system or something if they insist on eyeing people. Property- they have a cafe by the breakfast area where you can order hand crafted pizza. We didn't do this but it smelled great. The location is convenient with lots of restaurants within walking distance . As a hotel guest, you get a discount at the Foray restaurant, which is closed mondays and Tuesdays Overall: Beautiful, but I don't think I'd stay again. For the price point and all the amenities, I expected to be in love with this hotel. At other hotels with this price point, I'm usually like "I don't want leave!", but not here. It wasn't a bad stay, but the experience didn't match the price point. I hope they get better staff or else I could see this hotel failing in the future.

It was hustling and bustling and we had to wait about 30 minutes for a party of 7. We ordered the filet mignon, prime rib, bacon wrapped porch chop, fish of the day which was sea bass. For dessert not pictured was the crème burlee, bread pudding, and affogato. Some of us got the same meal. I had the prime rib median well and I wasn't expecting it be so big! It was tender and came with veggies and a baked potato. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the veggies were cooked. I'm not a huge fan of squash but I really enjoyed it. I had left overs because of how big the steak was. We also had a basket of garlic bread which was good. It wasn't the best garlic bread I've had but it was and they gave us a lot. I tried both the bread pudding and affogato which were delicious. All were made in house including the ice cream. Overall, it was a great experience as the ambiance was amazing. It was like three different sections: outside, inside, and closer to the bar area which got really packed. I want to return to experience the Sunday brunch.

The historic building is impressive, as is the interior lobby, living room, restaurant/bar and 1st floor courtyard. Unfortunately, the guest rooms --or more specifically, Room 207 leaves a lot to be desired. As others have noted, the rooms are indeed small and in need of updating. Bed comfort is subjective. I've stayed at plenty of hotels and generally never had trouble falling asleep, but I did find both the bed and pillows to be overly firm and uncomfortable. The bigger disappointment for me was the noise. 207 is the closest room to the 2nd floor staircase landing, and there's a hallway bench right outside the room door. On multiple occasions, I had to listen to someone sitting on the bench right outside my door talking loudly on their phone before heading downstairs. The utility closet next to Room 207 also resulted in unwanted noise. And there was persistent noise coming from the alleyway directly below my room windows --loud talking, laughing, singing and coughing late into the night and early morning. The hotel staff I interacted with were all friendly and helpful and the building is ideally located in the heart of downtown Carmel. I expected more though for what worked out to be a $600 a night stay.
