Loved this place! Stayed here two nights on our trip up the coast. It's an easy walk to the monterey bay aquarium and about a block from the beach. The rooms aren't anything fancy since they are pretty dated but the hotel had tons of character. The staff was super friendly, and I even got the recipe to their scones... More

As everyone has noted, the location is superb. A block down from Lighthouse, which is the main street in this charming town of Pacific Grove, and just a few blocks to Lover's Point on the beach. I took a walk along the beach for a few miles at sunrise - very convenient and oh so beautiful! Also, just a 20... More

I loved the hotel. It was quiet,great Victorian decor, homey and cozy atmosphere,lovely breakfast. 2 things I wasn't 100% happy with were:the room door wasn't locking properly and it took ages to get a hot water from both-tap and the bath.Also, I was slightly puzzled about the hotel front door which we were able to open with our room key...

Just stayed at the Centrella Inn last weekend. You can't go wrong with the location. Close to the ocean, restaurants, and shopping. However, the Inn is in desperate need of an interior updating. We stayed in a Cottage. Too much furniture, some of which were down right uncomfortable. The dresser drawer in the bedroom was unusable. If you are going... More

We stayed in early September and were glad that we chose Pacific Grove and Centrella. We loved the quaintness of the place (as others have said, if you like shiny, new chain hotels, this won't be for you). I think we were lucky with our room - decent size with claw foot bath and lovely comfy bed. What was great... More

The Centrella Inn is simply charming. It is not what you want if you are looking for a chain hotel, but perfect for those looking for a unique place to stay. It is quiet, friendly and right near fabulous dining and the beach (three minute walk each way). I grew up in Victorian homes and appreciated the quirks like low... More

I’m not quite sure why, but I really liked this place. It’s not the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed at (cup roulette in the morning to find a properly clean one) but it was welcoming and comfortable with a great location right in the heart of Pacific Grove (with free off-street parking right outside). Stayed in 1 of the cottages... More

My boyfriend and I have been staying here for the last four years because it was very convenient to everything we wanted to do. It's not a beautiful new hotel and I never expected it to be but it was comfortable. In the past the breakfast and social hour were very, very good and they were always very generous, but... More

We recently stayed for 2 nights at the Centrella Inn. The pictures on the Inn's website are unfortunately, very accurate. The rooms are very drab, dreary, and cheap. The interior of the Inn could use new carpeting throughout, a good painting, remodeled bathrooms and new beds. I have stayed at B&B's that are far older, circa 1792, that were tastefully... More

I had read the negative reviews before booking for myself and my sister and brother-in-law, so I was not sure what to expect. I have no complaints whatsoever. It is a 19th century building, and a bed and breakfast, not a super modern chain hotel. The shower in my room was not built for a 6'0" tall person, but that... More
