The property was nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cleaning staff started with the vacuum at 8 am in the room next door. Was loud and disturbing . Would have liked daily room cleaning.

Multiple Pubes on the “clean” towels. Had few dunk guys walking around. One walked into our room. Reported it to the staff they didn’t seem to care. No complementary breakfast or coffee that was listed as available.

Hi Mr and Mrs. Segal,I very much appreciate hearing from you. Although your experience is unusual, it concerns us nonetheless. Firstly, we apologize about your towels. We will have a conversation with our launderer about your concerns.Secondly, breakfast is advertised from 8am to 9am and you did not return to check out till 2pm which was way past the check out time of 11am and you did not let front desk know that you would be needing a late check out. Front desk agents would have advised you that breakfast is only from 8-9 and does not last all day as you would not see this at any other hotel no matter where you travel. For future reference please let any hotels in advance of your travel plans so they may accommodate your request if it is possible.

the staff was nice on arrival . it was an ok place. It was clean. I would recommend reading some of the other reviews. The comments about the sliding glass doors are valid, and there is a musty odor also mentioned in the comments is also true. The shutters on the doors are ridiculous. Other than that it was ok. Its very convient to everywhere In PG and Monterey . I would actually stay their again , but not my first choice.

Olympia Lodge is located in such a beautiful location with the beach only blocks away. The room is on the older side but feels clean and comfortable. The staff is wonderful, parking is free and they even had to go breakfast boxes that we were not expecting.

As a small, family-owned establishment, my staff and I work hard to earn the trust and respect of our guests. Hopefully we’ll have another chance to do the same for you! I've said this before, but it bears repeating: low scoring reviews hurt our business, but more importantly they alert us to opportunities to improve. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to serve you better.

The area was calm. So calm that we saw 3 deers from the parking lot. The "breakfast" could of been better, the crossaint and palmier were stale and the two mints were strange. Maybe some yogurt or boxed cereal would've been better. They don't get stale. And we didn't really have a door door, just a sliding door. But the rooms were clean just had a moist smell. The heater works well and we couldn't hear our neighbors. All in all a solid 3 of 5.

Room was clean but unimpressive, which makes sense given it’s a more affordable option. Decor is a bit tired and worn and rooms feel rather austere. Staff was efficient and friendly. Main room for improvement was noise. It was easy to hear water pipes and neighboring guests through the walls, and housekeeping and cleaning staff get started quite early, which was also noisy. One morning someone started running a leaf blower on the property around 9 a.m., well before checkout time (not ideal for those who like to sleep in a bit). Overall, it’s a decently average/okay place to stay.

I was there 'off season', so it was just incredibly quiet. I really appreciate that. My room had a view out to the ocean, which was about a half-mile away. This is just a beautiful area of California, and the people are very nice. The Olympia Lodge is located next door to "Lucy's on Lighthouse", which has excellent espresso drinks, creative hot dogs that are tasty, and excellent breakfast burritos on the weekend. The room was very clean and comfortable. I very much enjoyed my stay.

We initially booked for the closness to the tide pools and the price. Now that we've been.... we loved it. Beds are a little stiff but not the worst and no table in the room made eating a little difficult but otherwise great. Our 8yr old was SO happy to see the deer outside this morning. We'll definitely visit again.
