Within short walking distance of the lovely township of Pacific Grove/Monterey we knew to expect old world charm and they did deliver. The Staff are most gracious and welcoming making you feel very welcome. Our room was decorated with old world Roses - up to the ceiling and the bathroom was also very old world but charming. Don't expect new... More

Lovely historic building with friendly staff, delicious breakfast and wonderful location. Our room was tastefully decorated - not overdone with Victorian era stuff like so many B&Bs. There is a nice garden and just a short walk to Lover's Point and the beautiful coastline. You can also walk to the Monterey Aquarium. One can buy aquarium tickets at the Inn... More

I stayed for four days at Centrella Inn during January 2013 for a writing retreat. The staff were helpful, the food was nourishing and tasty, and the location was excellent. I stayed in one of two guests cottages that had a fireplace, dry bar and a breakfast nook that worked well for a writing center. The nicest aspect of Centrella... More

My husband and I needed a romantic getaway and the last time we were in Pacific Grove we saw the Centrella Inn and decided to come here next time. What a wonderful place!

I've been coming to the Pacific Grove area (Carmel, Monterey, etc.) for many, many years. I've stayed in every kind of place from grand hotels to places that shouldn't be open to the public. My absolute favorite place to stay is the Centrella Inn in Pacific Grove. I come here almost once a month and have done so for two... More

You will make us blush with all those warm words of encouragement. The Centrella is really your home away from home and I appreciate you sharing that with the world. I consider you to be family. You have met my husband and children. Offered advice and talked me off the ledge when I became overwhelmed with life. Thank you for... More

I stayed at the Centrella Inn a few years ago, and just went to show this wonderful place to a friend this past April. I stayed in one of their other "buildings" they own, so I found it to be very quiet and relaxing. I used to live where the existing courtyard is now, as my little cottage was wedged... More

It is always interesting to learn from those who knew the Centrella Inn when she was a boarding house. I wish we had been able to see some pictures of what the property looked like before it was renovated. I completely agree with you about Pacific Grove being a "family friendly" community. My family has been on the peninsula since... More

Stayed one weekend night at this Bed and Breakfast. Lovely building, great staff, beautiful grounds. We reserved a premier room and I am not sure if the inn was completely sold out or not (there were plenty of people at breakfast so it was definitely not empty), but our room was just so tiny. It had a couple of windows... More

Thank you for your kind words. Our gardener works very hard to make the grounds lush and beautiful. The cottages, in our garden, are definitely more spacious and they have a fireplace which I absolutely love. We hope you will be our guest again. More

My wife and I stayed 1 night at Centrella. The Centrella is a historic hotel with victorian style rooms. The location is closed to the ocean. The reception is friendly and helpful. The breakfast and cookie is tasty. They also provided the free WiFi. I think the walls & windows do not have soundproof. It is kind of noise from... More

The Centrella Inn is a Historical National Landmark built in 1889and we are making sure that we keep with the proper era when updating our rooms (although our new beds aren't antique). Thanks to Holbrooks Antique auction for all the little finds we have been making. We would love to have you come and see some of our new touches. More
