My girlfriend and I loved this place! We are both in our twenties and the Wilkies Inn fit us perfectly. The rooms are clean and have a warm design that worked perfect for Valentines day fun. Bathrooms are nice and fit our needs. My girlfriend loved the little fireplace heaters and is constantly reminding me how fun our aquarium trip... more

This hotel was a great value. It's no-frills, but everything worked, the bed was quite comfy; the room was small but clean; the desk staff were helpful and friendly; the wireless wasn't fast but it worked; the jasmine smelled wonderful; the breakfast was basic (luckily it's a short walk to downtown Pacific Grove, with numerous cafes.) if you want the... more

Stayed 3 nights in November 2008. Agree with the reviewer who said "charming on the outside, nasty on the inside" We reserved room with 2 queens, but requested a change after finding that room was over laundry (informed that no other room with 2 queens existed on 2nd floor). Room with queen and single was provided. No chair in room,... more

We have stayed at this place the first time and we were really comfortable. We liked the location, the food in the village, and not to forget the beach. It was little cloudy but we didn't had a problem going out there. The staff were great and the service was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay and do recommend to... more

The Wilkies Inn met our needs. We were participating in the Pacific Grove Triathlon. The rooms were large enough to contain all of our gear, and we were very comfortable. There seems to be no air conditioning, but the temperatures were so mild that we never needed it. The rooms were clean and odor-free, and the desk staff was friendly... more

Don't be fooled by the attractive exterior. That is as good as it gets. I was very disapointed in the smelly and dirty room. In my opinion not a good stay at any price. Compared to the available accomodations in the area, this one rates a the bottom of the pile for me. Poor customer service. Did not seem to... more

For the price we paid, this is not a good place to stay. I would of picked a better place had I read other reviewer comments. The room smell bad, like left over dinner. Breakfast consists of 2 kinds of cereal, bread and Danish from Safeway. Nothing against Safeway Danish, I just expected a bit more. This is an older... more

We enjoyed a three night stay at the Wilkie's at the end of a three week drive around California. We had a comfortable queen bedded room with fridge, microwave and coffee machine. The spacious marble bathroom didn't have a bath but a large walk in shower which was fine for us. A Continental breakfast was laid out in the reception... more

Stayed with my wife and 2 kids for a single night. The room smelt, (especially 1 corner!) and my general impression was of a fairly grotty place, despite the impression of being recently renovated. I got the feeling that it was all done cheaply and without much attention to detail. The bed linen, while clean, looked like it had had... more

We recently stayed two nights at The Wilkie's Inn in Pacific Grove. It is now part of the Clarion Collection but will keep the original name. Our room on the second floor was attractively decorated with color coordinated wallpaper border, comforter, pillow shams etc. The ceiling fan above the bed was a nice addition and provided extra light. Lighting in... more
