Lovers Point Inn

Rooms clean and comfortable great location. The staff was really nice. The listed continental breakfast was nearly nonexistent! Fresh fruit, packaged yogurts, and muffin or pastries would be a huge plus! What you get for the price it is still worth staying here.

I stayed at this hotel when I went on vacation with my partner and we died and went to heaven! We loved the location, hotel, and scenery! Diego & I always refer this hotel when we hear people are going to Monterrey! I can’t wait to go back soon!

Very very disappointed! Pics on website falsify actual facility. No view of water. Very very small bathroom! Pics show 2 antique beds hardwood floor and kitchenette. NOT! Microwave on top of mini fridge in a corner. I felt like I was in a trailer. Breakfast was a joke! Boiled eggs, raisin bread, juice, cold cereal. Paid $ 159 very very disappointed!

Location Location. Location.
Location is the #1 reason to choose this hotel — hotel is across the street from Lovers Point Park.
Nice comfortable beds; Room was nice and warm when we checked in — that was a pleasant surprise.
Friendly staff at the front desk.
Fresh coffee all the time;
Delicious continental breakfast (toast, OJ, eggs, assorted cereals) +Coffee/​Tea.
Water pressure in the shower was poor — but I think that may be typical in Pacific Grove due to water conservation restrictions.
Bathroom was tiny but functional.

1^st Star is for Location
2^nd Star is for the amazingly comfortable bed and small refrigerator/​microwave
3^rd Star is for the reasonable price
The walls of the rooms seem quite thin because you can hear everything walking by outside as well as your neighbors next door. Also I was let down that they advertised free wifi but my room on the 3^rd floor virtually had no reception.

Exactly what I was expecting. Very close to the beach and a great view from our room. The staff was incredibility friendly.
The room was a bit outdated, but it was clean and comfortable. It had a few fans, a flat screen TV, a small refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker.
Parking can be a bit tough if parking in the garage in a larger vehicle, I had no problems in my mid size car.
I will definitely be staying here again.

Room is old and funky. Does not look like what was advertised on
. Got there to find a stuffy room with no AC, Internet not working, and TV turned to fuzz about 20 mins after we got settled. Since I’m here on business, I wasn’t able to get my work done which kinda sucked. Really wish I had stayed somewhere else.
If you’re here on vacation and don’t plan on spending any time in your room it’s perfect.

Very clean, close to the beach, friendly staff, and yummy breakfast. We were very pleased with the ammenities and it was very peaceful and quiet.
The website somewhat mislead us on what rooms looked like and what the «ocean view» that we paid $ 20 more a night for was like. The ocean is close to the hotel but there is another building in front of the inn that somewhat obscures your view. The rooms are smaller than what they appear to be in the pictures, and both the king and queen sized rooms are about the same although the website makes it seem like there is a big difference between the two.
Overall, if you’re going to stay just book the queen room and don’t bother with an ocean view. Just walk 10 seconds to the beach instead. Otherwise I completely recommend staying here.

You get what you pay for, and we did not expect this to be anything fancy, and we were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were nice and clean, the bed was comfier than I expected, and the room had a nice counter/​sink area outside of the bathroom for getting ready. We were a few floors up, so we had a nice view of the ocean in the morning. Continental breakfast is typical: bagel and juice sort of thing. The front desk people are very, very nice and knowledgeable about the area, definitely talk to them if you want help planning activities.
My only complaint is that the room was sort of cold at night. We visited in February, so it is pretty cold in Monterey. We used the heater, but it never really got that warm. We were only there a few days, and it wasn’t cold enough to complain.

What I liked about this hotel was that our room was clean, the staff was friendly, and it was within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The bed was comfy too.
However, don’t let their website fool you because they make it look a lot nicer than it really is. Our view was fine, but I was hoping for a patio that I could sit and drink coffee from while still having a view of the ocean. Instead, the patio was only something you could stand on, surrounded by a tall wall. There was a small table with one chair in the corner of the patio, but it wasn’t something I would enjoy with the advertised «patio view of the ocean». Meh…
Also, if you can, take the stairs. Something about that elevator doesn’t feel right. Every time we used it, there was a horrible sound as if the cables were being stretched and I just don’t like the idea of falling 4 stories to get to the garage. My boyfriend read the maintenance form and it listed the last check in 2013! Yikes.
Oh! And also try to park above ground because it can be tricky getting in and out of those spots in the garage. There’s like a weird turnaround area because there is only one entrance/​exit area. We were lucky to never run into the situation where someone is trying to leave while we are entering or vise versa, because someone would have to very awkwardly back out of the situation.

Love this place. The people at the front desk were very friendly the room was very nice. The view is spectacular. It’s close to the beaches shoppingand movie theaters. It’s truly got one of the most beautiful views of the ocean I have seen in a long time I highly recommend staying at the hotel they had a great breakfast it was just continental style but got to eat outside in the nice brisk air.

29 tips for Lovers Point Inn:
1. Lovers Point Inn is located on Ocean View Blvd, across the street from Beach House restaurant, and Lovers Point Park.
2. 3 story building, concrete block motel design; one parks next to front door, with exterior corridors, and an elevator.
3. There are two concrete towers on each end, and looks out of place amid the historic Victorian designed hotels in the old downtown area.
4. I made reservations a month in advance, but had to settle for a 1^st floor room with a queen bed for $ 150 on PGA weekend, roughly double the cost of a normal weekend.
5. Our room is not ready until the 4pm check in time –late check in time compared to the normal 3pm check in time at other hotels.
6. All 18 outdoor parking spots taken at 4pm Saturday, and all 2 hour parking spots within 100 yards on Ocean View Blvd taken.
7. We drive around the block and park in one of 18 underground parking spots. Steep single lane entrance/​exit at the front of the hotel on Ocean View blvd.
8. Hope you don’t meet a car trying to exit at the same time, as you would be stuck backing onto busy Ocean View Blvd, blocking traffic.
9 Low 6′ clearance so no pickups, nor full size SUVs unless you want an instant convertible!
10. The original underground exit is closed –so we have to do a 180 turn inside between columns every 16 feet, in the dim light, amid pools of water from rains a week earlier. It is a very tight turn, and we have a compact Prius 3!
11. Later someone parked in the turn around area, forcing cars to do a 270 degree reverse turnaround from diagonal parking spots, between columns in the dim light –now that would be the mother of all DMV driver course tests!
12. Room 108 12′ by 14′ with single night stand and queen bed adjacent to the window, with black out curtains, but no sheer curtains. Window right on the exterior corridor, so people can see everything you are doing in bed!
13. View of ocean blocked by huge SUV in front of our room. Rooms with the best views would be rooms 203 – 207, 303 – 307. Rooms 202 and 302 views blocked by stairs. Rooms 105, 208 and 308 have views blocked by the elevator. Rooms 210 – 219 views obstructed by the Borg Motel. Primarily queen beds on first floor, and two beds (queen and full) on third floor.
14. 30″ flat screen TV with cable, including ESPN, but no HBO. 30″ refrigerator, microwave with rotating tray bottom, coffee maker, tiny sitting table with two chairs.
15. Separate toilet and bathtub from sink. Vanity mirror over sink, with convenient vanity wall, for those changing pants, in front of the outside windows!
16. European style toilet –sitting on the toilet blocks the door from opening, and barely enough room to spread ones legs on the toilet when using tissue.
17. We walk 7 minutes to Lighthouse Ave and downtown Pacific Grove with the Red House Café among the other innumerable restaurants on Valentine’s night.
18. Old style but efficient wall heater –needed at nights in February.
19. Wifi free but slow as molasses. –no good for videos, downloads, only for reading e-​mail. OK for surfing the internet, but with long lag response times.
20. No AC, no desk, and no noise insulation between the walls. I could hear the person in 107 snoring, with his headboard right next to my headboard.
21. Wife has trouble sleeping due to the lights from exterior corridors shining above the blackout curtains. She sleeps with her pillows over her head –says it is to drown out my snoring, but she snores louder! Wait until you are in your 60s, and you too will be snoring!
22. 11:41 pm awakened by loud TV in room 109. Banging on the wall with my fists, waking up the wife. Neighbor turns off TV, and flushes the toilet –apparently had falling asleep in front of TV.
23. 1:00 am awakened by room 211 directly above us checking in. Could hear luggage on wheels dragged across the threadbare carpets, and every foot step. Fortunately they had quick showers, which awakened all the neighbors. Didn’t bang the walls as I didn’t want to throw my shoes at the ceiling!
24. 7:00 am awakened by guests talking on exterior corridor right next to my bed and kids shouting on way to continental breakfast.
25. I eat 4 cinnamon toasts with butter, 2 hard boiled eggs, a blueberry muffin, along with delicious orange juice on the tables outside of check-​in, with an ocean view of Lovers Point, watching birds peck away at an unattended breakfast nearby.
26. Continuous rolling toaster, so minimal wait at the toaster –remember there are guests in 53 rooms!
27. Wife eats in the room, as it is too cold for her –and she remembers to slice the hard boiled eggs into pieces before microwaving!
28. 1.1 miles or 35 minute walk to the Aquarium at the end of Ocean View blvd.
29. Hotel gives us a coupon for a free appetizer at the Beach House restaurant across the street, and we get the $ 13 firecracker shrimp. Expensive coupon -$ 331 for two night stay after taxes!

We really enjoyed our stay at this Inn. It was right next to the beach and walking distance to downtown Pacific Grove as well as Cannery Row. We took our bikes so we got some pretty nice rides in to Fisherman’s Wharf and all along the coast.
The room was not bad for how old the place was and the price was very nice for the location. They do have an elevator which was great for getting our bikes to the 3^rd floor. We stayed in room 303 which had a nice view of the ocean from our window. The bed was huge and comfy. The room was decorated nicely with a wicker couch, table and chairs. There was a refridgerator and microwave for our yummy left overs. The only thing that could use upgrading is the tiny bathroom that you basically have to climb into the tub to close the door. The carpet could probably use a make over as well and there was a mild musty smell when we walked in but it wasn’t bad considering it’s always cold and moist in Monterey.
The free continental breakfast was good. They served juice, milk, yogurt, cereal, instant oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, muffins, bagels, and toast.
As with any hotel, motel, or inn there comes the noise factor. We did hear the neighbors bathroom fan and people walking by on the balcony but it wasn’t anything that kept us awake at night.
Overall, I loved it and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I will definately be returning to this Inn.

Excellent excellent excellent location! For the price you’re paying you cannot get any closer to the beach. This is an «ok» hotel as its a bit older but once again the location, free breakfast and free wifi do make up for it. Would stay there again but not in the first floor… if you can stay at the top so you can see the ocean from your room!

We’ve stayed here at least three times so far. It is a decent, clean and affordable beach town motel with an ideal location. It is not a boutique hotel.
Some rooms are decorated more tastefully than some others. We last stayed in 302, which definitely needed a facelift. Beware of the «ocean view»; it is spotty, especially from the second floor.
The breakfast is OK with a nice outdoor seating area where you can enjoy breakfast while still seeing the ocean and potentially sharing your food with seagulls! The catch? It is almost always too cold too relax, especially in the early morning hours. A hot item on the menu can take it to the next level.
The missing star is for the lack of outdoor heaters at breakfast, and the inconsistency in the aging rooms.

This Inn is at an excellent lovation in Monterey. The staff is also very pleasant. However, our room (number 105) was very very poor. The room was very out dated, the bed was hard and the heater made noises constantly throughout the night.
105 is also located right next to th elevated which, when used shakes and makes a loud rumble thru the whole room and because it is also next to the ice machine other visitors to the Inn came down during the night and also interrupted our sleep.
We really just wanted a place to sleep on our short drive thru of Monterey but we didn’t get much sleep at all.
There are positives that they offer a continental breakfast, free parking and a beautiful location that is also walkin distance to eating places and the aquarium.

This place is great, staff is really professional specially Josh very young but very courteous. We were especially surprised when we saw the bottom of wine and two glasses in the room when we checked in. It was our 25^th anniversary so that made my night. Good job guys.

Great view from the 2^nd or 3^rd floor (the 1^st floor has no view)
Stayed on a Monday night, when we arrived at 2pm, we were quickly checked in by the first of 3 unfriendly staff. At 10pm, we called to request a late check out, and the boy at the desk stated, «he had no authority to approve, we would have to call in morning. We asked to leave a note for morning staff, regarding this request– he refused.
Therefore, In the morning we called/​requested a late check-​out and was initially refused. Had to argue with the staff a little to get a half hour ‘later’ checkout. (This was from a Monday to Tuesday night, where clearly all rooms were not booked solid)???
Room– basic, small. Carpets dirty, turning white sucks– brown. Also, it didn’t look like they wash out the duvet covers daily.
Had fridge, coffee maker, hairdryer, free unground parking, which explains the extra star.
If staff were «friendlier», and more accommodating… I’d have called this a 3-​star hotel.

Best part about the hotel is the location across from Lovers Point. About a mile walk to cannery row. Rooms overlooking a parking lot but you can hear the waves.
There is parking along the side of the building or right underneath.
In room amenities include a small coffee maker, fridge, microwave. There is fan but hard to put it into the window so can be hard to get air circulation.
Breakfast bar includes bagels, english muffins, fruit muffins, oatmeal, some fruit like bananas and oranges. Also hard boiled eggs and of course, coffee. Watch out for the toaster, it spits the toasted bread onto the floor unless you stand there in front with a catchers mitt.
Staff are friendly but wont give an inch to late checkout. They would not even do an hour late for us.

Let’s just start off by saying that I have mixed feelings about this place. I made my reservation a month in advance, selecting a third floor room. My husband and I had picked this hotel because of its location right across from Lover’s Point Park.
Upon check-​in we were assigned room 302. Mind you, the third floor is supposed to have the best view, at least that’s what the descriptions and reviews say online, hence the reason for picking this floor. We walked up the stairs only to find that the window view of our room was obstructed by the staircase. I went back down to the office to see if they had any other rooms available, even on the first or second floor, to which the gentleman replied that they were completely booked. He didn’t offer to accommodate us in any other way.
Sad part is, the view from the first floor was better than the view from our room, and was a cheaper rate than what I had paid. Not to mention, the housekeeping closet was directly across from our room– so much for sleeping in. The chatter from the housekeepers woke us up as they were congregating together to get their supplies, and it’s not like it only lasted a minute.
Since we were already awake, we decided to go down to the office and get something to eat since they have a continental breakfast. They had bagels, muffins, toast, cereal, hard-​boiled eggs, juice, milk, and coffee. Not too bad. We ate a small portion, enough to satisfy our hunger for the time being. One thing I thought was nice is they have coffee available all day while the office is open.
If it wasn’t for the location, I would have given this hotel a lower rating. We were steps from the beach, and only a mile from Cannery Row. I will stay here again, but I have learned my lesson about the third floor rip-​off. First or second floor will work just fine next time.
