Everything from ease of checkin to excellent afternoon appetizers and beverages to morning continental breakfast was awesome.
The inn is wonderful. Nice breakfast and evening wine reception with cheese etc . The room lovely and the entire experience was fantastic. The staff was friendly and very welcoming
Staff were very professional, attentive and kind. The property is very well maintained but there is a smell as any older property would have. Great service and great location made for a one of a kind experience.

Wonderful INN!! Great service, great location, great breakfast!!
Paola greeted us when we arrived and helped us through the check-in process. The suite was great - very clean complete with everything we needed. The common areas were comfortable, with lots of food and drink.
Room was clean and quaint. Staff was very attentive. Breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Great stay! Definitely recommend.

It's a charming old house - with the pros and cons that go with that (funky shaped rooms etc.). Staff were very friendly especially Alejandra who was in charge at breakfast (good food and plenty of it).
The most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff were wonderful. Always very helpful. Clean? Yes spotless, goes without saying, my sister and I took advantage of breakfast, wine time and cookies.
We had a wonderful time in Pacific Grove and Carmel.
It is one of the most unique places we've ever stayed as we are frequent travelers. The design and decor sent you back into a timeless feel not only that the service and the food is unbeatable.
We spent four fabulously comfortable and decadent four nights at The Charles in Pacific Grove. The rooms are beautifully decorated with a nod to the age of the building (1904). Historic photographs of Pacific Grove line the hallways. The lounge is comfortable and the late afternoon wine and snacks added to the conviviality. Breakfasts were varied and fresh. The breads and quiche were yummy. The beds are soft, the sheets cotton, and at night you can hear the faint crash of the waves on the shore. The hotel is in walking distance to an array of restaurants. The house-managers and staff were very welcoming and friendly. We will come again if we come back to the area.
