The bed was a little squeaky, shower head was in the ceiling and the tv didn’t articulate well.

Fortunately we found a fan in the closet that we put in the window to pull in cool, greasy air.

One disappointment was lack of air conditioning.

check batteries in the thermostats. .the ones in our room were dead, 

but the bathroom is closed off from that and there is no separate heater or heat lamp in the bathroom.

Poorly fitted shower curtain caused water leaking in bathroom.

Given there's no AC you have to leave the windows open so you get a LOT of noise in the room.

but I was given a room underneath an upstairs unit and it was noisy.

No hum (from heater, fan, etc), nor anyone from outside congregating/driving in & out/no suitcase-rollers rattling nor footsteps (there's no one above! ), no staircases etc, like some other places.  )

The first place heater the room enough without using the heater.

The Bad:  loud drip noises from outside when it rains making it hard to sleep (unit 116).

Our room had a fireplace and a ceiling fan.

20 or so rooms, cottage style units that had a very cozy feel like you might be staying in a upscale small cabin.

The room is fully equipped with t.v.,  refrigerator, manual heater, microwave, hairdryer, coffee maker, extra blanket, shampoo, lotion, shower cap.

but not during summer since there is no AC in the room.

I don't know if it was just the room or the climate that limits the use of the AC,

The heater is controlled by the fireplace.

If you are sensitive to heat be aware that there is no air conditioning at this facility.

The Inn is within walking distance of the beach.

Close to beach and walkable to downtown pacific grove downtown area.

Beautiful little spot very close to the beach.

It is very near to the coastlines, 17 miles scenic route, eateries  and little shops.

Walkable to coastal sunset, quiet street.

Loved that we were walking distance to the ocean.

The location is a super walking place near the beach and a beautiful neighborhood.

It was very convenient to the Monterey Bay Aquarium in addition to being very close to the beach, lighthouse, 17 Mile Drive and all that Pacific Grove has to offer.

The facility is located perfectly, near the beach, The Lighthouse and 17-Mile Drive.

Very close to the coast and town is just a mile away!

Pros: Excellent location right near the beach where you can go see sunsets and very friendly staff.

Really liked the location - quiet area of Pacific Grove close to the seashore,  U.K. restaurants and downtown in easy reach.

Fabulous location near coast for walking along beach and enjoying sunset.

The location can’t be beat and walking distance to the beach where we spent much of our time enjoying the beautiful scenery and sunsets.

It's in a wooded area within walking distance of the coast trail, about 5 minutes drive from the shops and restaurants on Lighthouse.

The Inn is within easy walking distance of the shoreline, where we took a foggy walk each morning.

I think we have found our “perfect place” in Pacific Grove.

Just around the block from the coast, it’s location is perfect in the quaint town of Pacific Grove.

Sunset Inn is a very nice place to stay if you want to get away and be near the peaceful community of Pacific Grove.

We loved the central location and enjoyed the nearby Monday Pacific Grove Farmers Market where we got yummy organic produce and take-out dinner one night.

Definitely will be coming back when we are in Pacific Grove.

Sunset Inn is in the perfect location for visiting pacific grove.

We would highly recommend staying here if you are in Pacific Grove---you will treated like family! !

Nice quiet hotel in the beautiful nature of Pacific Grove, a short walk to the beach that has walking pass along Asilomar.

Very nice staff the room was very clean and 
Just remodeled with fire place two blocks from beach and golf course 
Short drive to down town Pacific Grove
With great restaurants great free parking near room would definitely stay there again

It is walking distance to very dramatic beachscape, and walking distance also (a long walk) to downtown Pacific Grove which has many nice restaurants and shops - much less congested also than Monterey.

My friends and I rented their bikes with Adventures by the Sea, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our stay in Pacific Grove.

To be fair, we have been in love with Pacific Grove for forty years!

Recommend Toasties for a cooked breakfast, Patisserie Belcher for lunch/pastries, and try the Monterey Segway Tours -- great fun and a nice way to see Pacific Grove!

It’s within walking distance to the beach, quiet, and exactly why we come to the Monterey/ Pacific Grove area.

A short walk to the ocean,and a short drive or walk to downtown Pacific Grove with some nice restaurants.

The location is perfect, right by Asilomar and Pacific Grove Golf Links.

but it's secluded enough to quiet part of Pacific Grove.

Pacific grove downtown is walkable or a short drive away.

Definitely my home base in Pacific Grove.

Discount coupons for a number of Pacific Grove restaurants were a surprising perk, as was getting a daily copy of The Monterey Herald newspaper.

The rooms are clean and tastefully furnished.

The room was tidy and seemed to be recently remodeled.

The rooms are very clean and they have a really nice coffee and juice machine in the lobby.

We were very comfortable and pleased with the cleanliness of the room and amenities the inn supplied.

Our room was very clean and we liked the decor, both inside and out.

The rooms are clean, quiet and spacious with all amenities you should need.

The staff go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need & treat you like family.The rooms were well kept & clean.

The room was very clean, smelled nice and well kept.

Quiet neighborhood, clean rooms, comfortable beds.

The service at the Inn was fabulous…..rooms very clean and cozy and lovely coffee/juice bar and nice continental breakfast in the morning.

Clean room, good bedding (sheets), sufficient towels that are not like sandpaper.

The room was very clean and bed was also very comfortable.

The room is clean and nice wooden floors.

Cozy room and very clean,  the staff were friendly and went out of their way to point out places of interest on the map.

It's a cute, comfortable, clean room and grounds  in a nice neighborhood.

Easy walk to the beach, safe, fresh, friendly, such a beautiful location.

The location is excellent for walking to the shore--I enjoyed a morning stroll and tidepooling.

Minutes from walking to the beach, snacks at all times during the day.

Less than a 10 minute walk to coastal trail, the lighthouse and the monarch

It was close to 17 mile drive, beaches and walks.

Location: Steps from Asilomar Beach - one of the most beautiful and interesting walking beaches in the world.

Great location for walking along the beach and on trails, and choice of restaurants.

It is just a couple block walk down to the beach.

15 minute Walk to the beach, 15 minute walk to the

The Inn is a five-minute walk to the ocean, a short drive to restaurants, 
The hotel room walls, unfortunately, were very thin.

The inn is a short walk to the beach and about a 15 minute walk to downtown where  you can grab dinner.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the beach walks were stunning.

The rooms are clean and cute, the management is friendly and helpful and the vicinity to walk to the beach and city were perfect!

Walk to the beach for the sunset, it is worth it!!

As others have mentioned, it's a short walk to Asilomar Beach and about a mile walk (uphill) to the shops and restaurants on Lighthouse Avenue.

It is a short walk down to the ocean where you can walk the beach paths south or north, and about a mile into downtown Pacific Grove where there are many great restaurants and shops.

Note that bed is a little creaky and walls are thin, footsteps on parquet floor and flushing can be heard.

Could use some decorations/prints on the walls to make it more cozy.

The only negative was that the walls are not very soundproof.

The walls were paper thin so hard to sleep or feel like it is private.

The room he gave us was dark and tiny, the window just a horizontal crack at the top of the wall.

The only negative was the wall heater in our room was a little noisy when it came on or went off.

It is basically a motel (walls are a bit thin),

..because walls are thin and you can hear toilets, showers, conversation and TV.

One comment, the walls are thin and you can hear the other guests.

Walls were a bit thin so you could hear the neighbours

The only feedback would be replacing the mattress soon and the walls are a bit thin.

There is what seems to be a modern shower design, shower head coming from the ceiling, not the wall.

Great location Only bad thing was the construction next door and thin walls, you can hear everything next door.

but there was nothing on the walls, making it a bit bare.

Needed some pictures on the wall or something decorative to feel more inviting.

The walls are SO thin, the people in the next room felt like they were showering IN my room!

The only thing that I didn’t care for about this hotel was the in wall air conditioner.

but we may have had the fan on all night, which drowns out most noise.

Wall A/C vibrated the entire room when it kicked in.

A few quirks, like the mini fridge being on a cubby on the wall that kept the door from closing unless.you pulled it out a bit, or the fan in the bathroom that acted like a heater.

Heat radiator is super loud, esp when it turns back on after the room has cooled a bit.

But the box air conditioner was extremely noisy -- it actually squealed, so clearly something was wrong.

but I felt like this motel still could have been managed better under the circumstances:
* The heater was so loud on the first night that it kept me awake even when I wore earplugs.

Because you park right in front of your room (a huge perk during the pandemic), there is sometimes some vehicle noise, and sometimes the heaters can be a bit loud.

The a/c or heating system is noisy - humming noise when idle.

My mom ended up with a disabled “suite” in which the refrigerator, nor the air conditioning works.

Ugly murals painted on the walls, a giant hole in the wall under the A/C, and it smelled like something died behind the fridge.

Newer AC/Heat units since the last time we stayed here!!

Complaints are: limited office hours and no AC.

Would have given 4 stars except RM 35 did not have AC & the extra fan in the closet did not work .

And free parking. I couldn't find the Jacuzzi spa, the key card quit on me twice in three days, and the ceiling fan is not quite enough when it gets hot (which it sometimes does, even in Monterey.)

The reason for marking down (which I rarely do) is that the room was marked as coming with air conditioning - this was not the case.

Heater made a gosh- aweful tick-tick-ticking noise for 10 min everytime it shut off.

The room had extra blankets, a ceiling fan (with remote) and a table top fan if that's what you need.

The weather was gorgeous so we all gathered in the BBQ/fire pit area of the lodge and ordered pizza and salads.

Would definitely stay again if in the area.

There was an area that had a hose and area with hooks to dry out your equipment.

Location is perfect for exploring all of Monterey area.

There's an outdoors fire pit / sitting area where you and your buddies can trade dive stories while your fresh catch cooks on the provided BBQs.

We will definitely use them again on next visit to the area!

Overall, I'd recommend this motel of the ones on the area.

Always friendly pleasant and very accommodating to your needs 
Rooms always clean and ready 
Easy to get in and out from here close to great Chinese restaurants and Black bear diner 
Will stay here any time I’m in the area

We were pleasantly surprised to find Lone Oak Lodge, which had the most reasonably priced hotels in the area.

FYI- we’ve been in a lot of hotels in the area, we like LOL best.

We will certainly be staying here again when we’re in the area.

They have a BBQ area that’s 24 hrs and is very convenient if you don’t wanna go to a restaurant.

Finally, I'd like to add it's a quiet place and has plenty of parking which cannot be said of very many places in the area.

Location was good for driving to downtown area and accessing freeway.

Mini kitchen area,  and the frig had a nice freezer compartment so we could have  ice cream!

We were very excited to stay here based on the reviews and the fact we've visited Monterrey many times (and in fact used to live in the area) - it's a place we have many fond memories of!

It’s one of many old-school motor lodges in the area.

Great place for divers with rinse tanks in one central area and hooks outside rooms to hamg gear while drying.

It also has a steam room in the gym area.

It was quiet, beds were very comfortable.

Good clean rooms , bed was very comfortable and the staff was great.

The bed was comfortable and we were able to park right outside our room, which is always convenient.

Room was clean, bed comfortable, bathroom ok.

The bed was comfortable and I had no problem sleeping.

Comfortable bed and pillows, good shower pressure and hot water.

Pros:
Newly renovated floors, paint and crown molding, very comfortable beds, bathroom including walk in shower, wall mounted TV with great cable selection, refrigerator and microwave all at a GREAT rate!

Comfy bed, clean, friendly, and great vibe.

On the plus side, the room and bathroom were clean, the sheets were in good condition and spotless, and the bed and pillows were comfortable.

The staff was very apathetic, and the blankets were literally the strangest, least comfortable blankets I've ever seen.

Very clean, Comfortable bed , Micro , large refrigerator nice table with chairs.

Sparkling clean all around, TV worked great, bathtub was a bit shallow and still welcome, very comfortable bed.

The bed was comfortable and there is plenty of parking just in front of your room which is free Of charge.

The bed was very comfortable, and the entire room was very clean.

Rooms are of good size, beds are really comfortable, plus all the amenities you’d expect from the big chains.

What was billed as a "cottage" was a very run-down room with an ancient kitchen and literally falling apart door (the lock fell off while we were there).

I canceled through booking.com and the manager insisted I needed to pay for taxes and room fees because booking.com charged for one night minus fees.

But given the price they were charging for our room, this fact took us by surprise.

but I initially got charged for 2 different reservations, one which I had canceled a few months prior, seemed like it took a ridiculous amount of time to straighten out.

Unfortunately, there are no Federal protections against hotels overbooking or cancelling your reservation to charge more money,

They tried charging us more until we produced the Booking.com info.

Do not trust them as far as the billing goes.. Read numerous previous reviews   They are not to be trusted with your credit card information

but decided $300+ a night most B&B and hotels are charging over the holiday weekend was not worth it with all the traffic and tourists.

And they also charged my husbands card as well for 137.

Obviously these people cannot be trusted, be very careful when dealing with them especially if their website says – “transaction not successful”.

However we found they charged much more for the 2nd night.

It does have a spot to charge an electric car (we don't have one).

Take it only if you are really binded in funds.

When I checked out she didn't even turn around from speaking on the phone to wave goodbye, I just posted the key card in a check out box.

We had to cancel at the last minute, and they were understanding and didn't charge us anything extra.

Then  when she finally checked me in, she insisted that a $300 block on my debit card was necessary, seeing as how I could be a criminal.

If I cancelled without 7 days notice I would be charged in full for the room.

There are many reasons why a card can be declined, one of which is that you don’t live in California.

plus there were conveniently placed plugs where I could charge our devices.

The rooms are clean, extremely clean, actually.

This is the most incredible hotel to stay at in Monterey California because the beautiful and super clean rooms  absolutely have everything you could ever want and the Manager is the most efficient and friendly person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing at a hotel.

I am usually in Monterey over a weekend and stay 1-2 nights each time,  The Lone Oak Lodge is a basic cheap hotel in Monterey with clean rooms and clean bathrooms.

Rooms are clean except the floor (after I showered my feet were getting black so I tried to stay off the floor).

They give room service everyday, so we always have a clean room when we come back, our room was also upgraded to King and it was quite a spacious room.

One of the best things here is the rooms are spotless, before Covid and during, always.

Room was very clean and staff were very helpful.

When I walked in I could not believe how clean this room was you could eat off the floor I kid you not.

This is one step from having four walls and a drain in the center of the floor.

We ended up buying a non-toxic, all natural candle to camouflage the stench.

Plug in fan smelled like burning plastic once it finally worked and sounded like an ailing jet engine.

Yuck, who knows how long that's been in there?

Came back a year later and the same suite is filthy, the jet tub has a flaking outer layer that not only looks bad it seems like a cleanliness issue.

I thought he could have discounted the room for such filth and a non functioning "hot tub".

So when we actually enter our pricey room - to our dismay it is musty, old (and not in a fun, historic way,

When I opened the door, it smelled squishy and when I tried to open the window, it was already open.

There are trash cans outside so after we ate food in our rooms we put our trash outside so it didn’t smell up the room.

Room 47 was very very musty; we discovered a back door to the unit which we found unlocked; and the lighting in the room was very poor.

The main problem was a very unpleasant smell inside the house.

The woman behind the counter was very very kind - I'd woken up with a bad headache, like there was a rotten tooth in the back of my neck - and she was patient with my crabby *ss at check-in.

After calling the font desk the night attendant showed up and said they did not have any 9V batteries and so he would just take the smoke detector from the room.

This said, the smell dissipated after we opened all windows to air it out.

but with old furniture and a funny smell.

but the manager immediately offered to reduce the price and suggested us to run the ceiling fan to get rid of the odor.
