It feels like it should be a hotel/resort, but also like it is short- staffed. We'd been promised a room online with a fireplace, which when we arrived had been supposedly booked by someone else. I really protested that that was the reason we'd just driven two hours, but to no avail. They said the computers weren't their problem, and... More

This was a fantastic place to stay while visiting the Pacific grove area. The center is located in a state park with walking trails that take you right to the ocean. The main buildings were designed for the YWCA by Julie Morgan. Julia was the first female architect to be registered in California. She designed the Hearst castle. The main... More

My wife and I stayed at Asilomar Conference Grounds for one night at a rate of about $118 including breakfast. The location in Pacific Grove is on state property next to the ocean. You have to walk across a boardwalk in sand dunes and cross a road to get to the beach. There are deer on the property. This is... More

Great place in Pacific Grove. Log cabins with apartments. They were kind of old style but very clean. They are actually remodeling the place. You can walk to the beach on a beautiful boardwalk along the sand. They have bikes that you can rent and that's very nice. The breakfast was ok, not much to tell about it. Great place... More

Stunning location - if a little hard to find after dark (even when you do make it through the gate). We had a plumbing problem with our room on arrival and there was a maintenance crew working on it within 10 minutes! The room was comfortable, spacious and relaxing - if a little hard work getting suitcases up the stairs... More

I stayed at the Asilomar Conference Grounds (it is a CA State Park too) in October 2011 for a three day conference. The management of the Conference Grounds had just changed hands before I stayed, so things seemed a little disjointed when I arrived. I unfortunately arrived late, so I got the joy of trying to find my building/room in... More

Most people become acquainted with the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California when they attend a conference. It is situated on the Pacific ocean adjacent to the Pebble Beach golf course. It was first created as a YWCA camp. It has been recently updated. Wireless internet is now available in your room! There is a new cafe in the... More

In reading a great deal of negative feedback from folks who though this was a Hotel, please remember that its a conference grounds with housing for attendees and the Hotel part while possible I guess is only to be recommended for those who seriously enjoy no frills lodging in a nice area (think Subaru drivers). I attended a 3 day... More

Too bad this once lovely get away retreat site has been ruined by Aramark. This is property of the State of California. Foos is now awful, servce has vanished, what a waste of a good resource. Two of the men's retreat groups I belong to will now go elsewhere to meet for a weekend. Good Bye! More
