Butterflies in Pacific Grove near scenic 17-Mile Drive
This small, budget inn is ideally located to the awe-inspiring vistas along 17-Mile Drive. The scenic route begins in Pacific Grove, winds through Del Monte Forest and rolls down the Pacific coastline to Pebble Beach. Though set in charming Pacific Grove, Clarion Collection Pacific Grove sits closer to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row than some hotels in Monterey proper. Add a free continental breakfast and free Wi-Fi and guests are plenty content. The hotel is minutes from Carmel, the Point Pinos Lighthouse and a path along the ocean.Highlights
- Free continental breakfast
- Free Wi-Fi at Clarion Collection Pacific Grove
- Business travelers appreciate free copies of The Wall Street Journal
- Rooms feature a microwave, a refrigerator and a coffee-maker
- Affordability less than a mile from famous 17-Mile Drive

Great Price in a Great Location
Very pleasant and affordable stay in Pacific Grove. Just a few blocks from a gorgeous beach. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again!!

Good value
Stayed one night on a road trip down the coast. Seaway inn was a convenient stopping point. It's too far to walk to the aquarium or cannery row but the price was only $79 and we had a car for travelling around. The room was a little overcrowded with furniture, but it had a comfortable bed, fridge, microwave, tv. Parking was right at the door. The room was clean and had nice toiletries. Breakfast was basic hotel fare. Juice, bagels, waffles, cereal. Staff were friendly. I would stay here again. If you can get a god rate, it's excellent value for the area.

Not as good as before
I was disappointed with our stay. I've stayed there many times. But, this time the room did not feel as clean as before. The bedspread did not look laundered. My clean white slippers were dirty when I packed them to leave. The coffee pot in the breakfast/lobby was not clean either. I think I will try another place next time.

Girls Get-A-Way
I have gone to the Pacific Grove area for a number of years and stayed at this property a long time ago. I remembered it as better than a number of the aging motels in the area. HOWEVER, since the affiliation with the Clarion group and perhaps the added years, it seems to have gone down hill a bit. Sure, the bath had been redone, but the draperies in the main room were hanging and didn't close properly even after we re-hooked them and the carpet seemed dirty. The continental breakfast was only a step up from the muffin/cupcake, packaged sweet roll, juice, and coffee you get so many places who offer "breakfast". Also, the only place to sit was outside or back in your room on the bed. The room seemed small and crowded with a chair and ottoman in it besides the queen bed, nightstands and armour with TV. While we weren't in the market for a 5-Star property being on a budget trip, I was surprised at the ordinary-ness of this motel given its affiliation with Clarion. Guess I was expecting too much. Thr rate was good and the location couldn't be beat, walking distance to downtown Pacific Grove, the beach, and almost across the street from the butterfly sanctuary.

Short drive from hotel
As a longtime visitor to Pacific Grove I would say don't miss the Aquarium and Pt Lobos (a short drive south of Carmel) If you have kids, wear them out at the Dennis the Menace Playground in Monterey.

Brick Bed
Overall i do not regret my stay here merely because of cost. But, the beds were hard and i think the owners are family who live on site. They were outside talking loudly until 11pm. However, i would recommend this site for a one night stay.

Good, clean reasonably priced accomodations
This is a typical 1960's motel that has been relatively-well maintained throughout. Good location in Pacific Grove. Located in the western part of Pacific Grove ; very close to the Pacific Grove public golf course; and within a walkable distance to Monterey Bay, in a quiet neighborhood.

Good deal, clean room and beautiful area
The area where this hotel is located is beautiful and very close to the beach as well as Cannery Row. We have been to Monterey before but this time was very enjoyable because we got to see more of the area because of where our hotel was. Staff was friendly and the bathroom had a window with a nice shower. We plan to stay here in the future.
