Clarion Collection Wilkie's Inn Pacific Grove - Monterey

We loved this sweet, quaint inn. The owners were absolutely lovely and sweet. We were very comfortable and LOVED the big shower. The bed was a perfect firmness and we slept great. The boxes of flowers on the porch were so pretty! The breakfast was great to grab as we headed out. Close to downtown but far enough to be quiet and peaceful! Thank you!

The waffle maker was a hit with the kids! We loved the staff, so helpful and kind. The rooms were just there for us to sleep, so the size worked well for a family of 5, we even added a cot for a minimal fee and it worked out for us. It is quaint area and parking was right in front of the door. We loved that it was close to everything! We were able to do a lot in 2 days! We had a great time and planning on returning soon!

Clean, comfortable, furniture and fixtures all in excellent condition, and economical too.

Stinky Shower Drain & Moldy Bread When turning on hot water for the shower (as you do) the drain in the shower STANK. It smelled like garbage on a hot day. The drain is in dire need of cleaning please do remedy that- when I shower I want to relax not literally gag from the stench. My second issue is that the white bread put out for the breakfast literally had mold on it. How do you manage to put out and serve moldy bread? Otherwise, bedding and towels were clean. Bed was comfy. Checking in and out was easy. The location is convenient for visiting nearby beaches, Monterey, and Carmel. Easy walk to the beach from the hotel.

Walls too thin heard every door key card slide, every phone alert from the room next door all night long.

This place is cheap and very clean. If that's all you need then that's there for you. The mattress is a cheap coil mattress on an old box spring. The box spring sits on 2x4s that sit on a wooden box. That squeaked at every contact. On top of that, the 2x4s stick out past the box spring making an ideal spot to whack your shins. The door needs weather stripping. The bottom has a gap big enough that I can reach my fingers under the door. I used a sweatshirt at night to block the breeze. Lesson learned after the first night of the wall heater not being sufficient. There is a really old microwave and mini fridge. They function. The fridge makes intermittent clunking noises that woke us up multiple times a night even with a white noise app trying to blend in the noise from the wall heater and fridge. We left early and stayed elsewhere our final night so that we could sleep before heading home. from a long weekend.
