    Beautiful views, tons of history. Shipping, dining and of course golf. Guest parking available.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

I was torn about whether to stay in Carmel by the Sea or Monterey so when I did a google search for hotels and saw this one had great reviews I picked it. I was on day 9 of my trip, was exhausted and flying back to New York the next day so I really just wanted a quality, safe, clean, nice hotel to end my trip and that didn't happen. The hotel is massive, it gave me real old school, resort vibes. Enormous lobby with televisions, dark wood chairs, giant bar and restaurant but it was horribly outdated. I mean, green carpet, I felt like I was back in the 90's. I checked in they could not find my reservation. I had booked on hotel tonight and they asked me what kind of room I booked. I told them one with a view and a manager came out and told me they didn't have any ocean view rooms. It was 10:30 at night, at this point I didn't care I just wanted to go to sleep. Eventually, after waiting at the front desk for a half hour they were able to locate my reservation. In the meantime I had left my luggage with the bell hop. They told me they would bring my suitcase up for me. I asked the guy to take it out of my trunk because I had just had surgery and couldn't do any lifting. Remember that for later. They gave me directions to my room and I couldn't believe the path I had to take to get there. Elevator up to the fourth floor, then I had to walk down an extremely long hallway, down another hall to ANOTHER elevator. Then I was to take that elevator DOWN a floor to get to my room. It felt like a joke. It was so unbelievably inconvenient. Throughout my journey to my room I noticed all of the windows in the hallway were cracked open. I realized quickly this was to air out the moldy musky smell of the hotel that desperately needed renovating. The carpet was filthy. My hotel room was so bleh. So outdated, the bed was so high I had to jump out of it my feet didn't touch the ground and I'm 5'8. The furniture was old, the carpet, I wouldn't take my socks off. I set up the luggage rack right in the front of the room so that when the bellhop brought my luggage up he could rest it on there for me since I made it clear I couldn't lift. I saw two bugs when I pulled down the comforter and at that point I was done. I went down to the front desk and told them about the bugs and that I wanted a new room. They couldn't help me. Completely ignored my request so I called the booking agency to tell them what was going on. I went back up to my room and saw my luggage in my room, horizontal on the floor despite the luggage rack being open and set up, right, next to it. Cool. I had to call someone up just to lift my luggage onto the rack because again, couldn't lift, post-surgical, made that clear. Whatever. Long story short by this time it was 11:30 pm I just wanted to sleep so I did that and left first thing in the morning. This hotel has absolutely no business charging the rates that they do. None. I would not stay here again.

We arrived with our child and were told the wait would be about an hour and a half. We understood that the restaurant was busy, so we decided to wait. Two hours later, we still hadn't been seated. What made the situation especially frustrating was watching the woman at the front seat people who had arrived after us, while repeatedly seeming to look us over and pass us by. After waiting well beyond the time we'd been quoted, with no meaningful explanation or acknowledgment, we'd had enough. We left. A long wait at a popular restaurant is understandable. What isn't understandable is giving guests a 90-minute estimate, leaving them waiting for two hours, seating later arrivals ahead of them, and failing to communicate what is happening. For a place with Mission Ranch's reputation, location, and prices, I expected a much higher level of hospitality and professionalism. Instead, we walked away feeling ignored and unwelcome. We never even got the opportunity to find out whether the food was good, because the front-of-house experience was bad enough that we weren't willing to give them any more of our time. Two hours wasted in Carmel. There are far too many wonderful restaurants in the area to spend an evening waiting around somewhere that doesn't seem particularly concerned whether you're there or not.

Due to a booking mix-up on our end, we actually experienced two rooms. Room 9 (our first night) was terrific -- cozy, well-appointed, and the shower had some of the best water pressure we've had at a hotel. Room 30, where we spent the rest of our stay, was lovely in its own way -- more space, a wet bar, a walk-in closet, and gorgeous views through the trees toward the ocean, with a charming little private staircase up to the room. But the shower there, despite being much larger, had noticeably weaker pressure, and the "king" bed turned out to be a California king mattress on a standard king frame -- leaving an odd 4" gap on one side. Small thing, but for anyone who loves stretching out on a big bed while on vacation, it's worth knowing. Where the stay really shined was the staff and the little touches: the warm arrival, a handwritten welcome note, fresh cookies and caramels every evening, thoughtful turndown service, and spotless daily housekeeping. Breakfast was simple, fresh, and just the right size to start the day -- we appreciated that it wasn't trying to be more than it needed to be. Just know that lunch isn't really available on-site, and dinner reservations book out months in advance at premium prices, so plan on walking into town for most meals. We'd happily return to Carmel, and there's a lot here to love -- we just hope some of these smaller details (especially in the upstairs rooms) get some attention.
