Our stay at Gosby House Inn was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed. The room we were given was stunning—so charming and romantic that it brought back memories of our honeymoon. The inn is perfectly located in the beautiful town of Pacific Grove, making it easy to explore and enjoy the area. One of the lovely touches was the coffee and pastries available throughout the day, which made us feel right at home. Breakfast was another highlight—rich, delicious, and presented with such care. Everything about our stay felt thoughtful and relaxing. I can’t recommend Gosby House Inn enough if you’re visiting Pacific Grove. It’s a truly special place to stay!

Located in the downtown area of Pacific Grove this hotel provides a small, friendly, family run feel. It is a converted large family home built in the Victorian era so has plenty of character and old fashioned features. Our room, The Jewell, was adapted for mobility use so it had a large wet room. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. The only downside was there was no hanging rail for our clothing, only hat and coat hooks in a cupboard with 4 hangers. As we were staying for 4 nights a facility to hang clothes would have been preferable, although there was a steamer in the room to iron clothes. Wine, cheese, crackers and a cake were provided free of charge every day between 4 - 6pm, which was a lovely touch, and provided an opportunity to meet and talk to other hotel guests. We found this a great social forum and very interesting way to learn more about America and American life.

The only suggestion for improvement we would have was that our room was on the ground floor next to the breakfast room and kitchen. At 6am the staff began work preparing breakfast and were quite noisy, clattering plates and cooking utensils disturbing our sleep. A minor point in the scheme of positives, but, something that could be considered and addressed.

Right in the heart of the Pacific Grove business district, the full breakfast and wine tasting afternoons were a tasty treat. Beautiful Victorian, however, be aware if stairs a problem there is one flight of stairs to a 2nd story. Beautiful appointed and met some wonderfully chatty visitors from around California...several regulars..once they found the Four Sisters properties they were hooked. We just discovered we are hooked!

I will choose are larger room next time.

Being from the UK I had a desire to visit the California coast line (not too far from San Francisco). I booked here thinking it was near Monterey - a 6 minute drive. Oh how glad I did book this place, a quite beautiful town, lots of lovely places to eat and not from Carmel - a beauty on the coast. The hotel was perfect, the staff so nice, the breakfast top notch, and a relaxing vibe everywhere, flame fire in the evening, not drinks and a glass of wine ....... perfect perfect perfect. Not to mention everything was spotlessly clean and beds were so comfortable. I'm not visiting the area again, but if you do stay here!

Nothing everything was perfect.

Beautiful lobby and sitting area, convenient to downtown PG, historical. The hotel had a lovely breakfast. My room was beautiful and pillows were comfy (although bed and bit firm for side sleepers like me). Also, due to age of historical home staircase was very steep so needed caution. Staff was very friendly and home was safe and quiet.

Didn’t like the bathroom: toilet was up a step from floor which made it a bit scary going to bathroom especially at night.

The property was well located on the main street of downtown Pacific Grove, with plenty of parking around it. Lots of restaurants within a short walk, and the waterfront with lovely walking/biking trails was only 4-5 blocks away. The rooms were well appointed with good amenities including a coffee maker, refrigerator, iron, and fan. In addition, there was coffee, tea, cookies, and water/soda available 24 hours in the lobby area. The overall decor was very charming with lovely flowers in and around the property; lots of nice touches. The breakfast was good with enough choices, and the evening wine/cheese reception was a pleasant surprise. And there was a nice LCD TV with a decent number of cable channels.

The room (Jewell) was listed as having a Queen bed but it felt more like a Full size - this is a trend that is increasingly seen in many hotels these days. When you say Queen, lets make sure it is Queen. And the pillow top mattress was too squishy for me. It was a not a problem for us, but during the day (9-6 pm) parking is restricted to 2 hours which may be a problem for some.

the Gosby is a beautiful old house/hotel. the buffet breakfast was good, but not exceptional. I liked the serve yourself wine and appetizers in the evening, but it would have been nice to know what winery the wines came from. I really liked the room we stayed in (#3).

The decor was interesting yet comfortable, modern with a touch of antique. The building itself could use a bit of upkeep and repair. The only contact I had with whoever is running the inn was the receptionist, who was very nice. Usually in a B&B, you have more interaction with the people who run the Inn. Note that the inn allows children, there was a crying baby in the evening and for a short time at breakfast.

Staff were very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome from the start of our stay. We loved the old building with lots of charm and our gas fire in the room was a nice addition. Great breakfast lots of options and cheese and wine in the afternoons was terrific. It was in a nice quaint village area. With a nice 30 minute walk to tourist shops and pier along a nice sea view.

Leaving……

We enjoyed staying in The Trimmer. The room was charming, the fireplace was very cozy with a good size gas flame, the bed was very comfortable, the patio was very enjoyable in the afternoon. We took our wine and snacks outside to eat. The breakfast was yummy and it was served late enough so we could sleep in a bit. Also, it was a very quiet room. The location is awesome, you can easily walk to lots of shops, restaurants and the beach.

The bathroom fixtures were a bit tarnished and the bathroom was small, no place to put things. The staff were nice, but at one point my husband had a question and the only staff member was on the phone for a long time, he returned a couple times and finally got an answer to his question about 15 minutes later.

I booked the Inn as our last step before flying home. I wished I booked a whole week here or at least 4 nights. It reminded me of Gilmore Girls. We had two rooms with fireplaces, so realxing! And the breakfast - it was so good and free too. Absolutely loved it. The staff was also so friendly and the Inn is only a 5-10 minute walk from the ocean and it seemed like the central street. I would love to visit again. :)
