We were initially going to stay in downtown Monterey. So glad we stayed at this Pacific Grove property instead. Area is quiet, woodsy. We saw deer each morning and evening. The walk to the ocean, where you see magnificent sunsets when it's not too cloudy, is only about 3 blocks. Not a lot of restaurants to walk to, but a lot of nature to immerse yourself in. Property is bungalow-style. I was nervous that maybe the rooms were super tiny because there's no square footage included on the site, but the size was generous, maybe 300 sq. feet. We stayed in the Big Sur room, which easily fit 2 queen beds. The fireplace was wonderful. The bathroom, which looked tiny in pictures, was pretty large. There were 4 girls celebrating a weekend out next door. When we closed our windows, we barely heard them, so rooms are pretty well insulated. And I have to mention Richi, the manager. He made us feel so at home. When we mentioned we were there for our anniversary, he sent over a bottle of wine and a fruit and cheese plate. The breakfast is a continental one. They have oatmeal packets, yogurt, fruit, toast, english muffins, donuts, coffee and tea available, which actually filled us up enough to start our excursions without having to look for another breakfast location. If you're into ham and eggs and heavier fare, however, that might not work for you. Really great experience. I would definitely stay at the Sunset Inn again.
