Centrella Hotel, A Kirkwood Collection Hotel - Hotel in Pacific Grove - 612 Central Ave, USA

The staff here were flvery friendly and welcoming. We were greeted by the smell of freshly baked cookies. Something about that with all the Christmas decorations made it feel like we just arrived home. The food area was very cosy and rooms were very clean. They are very vintage as is the building as it was built in the late 1800’s. The neighborhood was so lovely and quaint. A walk to the water you will be treated to some very, very unique houses all the way down. We have stayed prior to this at a few 4-5 star hotels in this trip but this one felt so much more welcoming. I would suggest they upgrade the mattress in our room as it seemed a bit worn as well as a carpet clean.

Wasn't sure what to expect, so I'm trying to give as detailed of a review as possible so that hopefully whoever sees it has a good idea of what they're paying for. The rooms were smaller than expected. But if you're intending to be out the whole day it doesn't really matter. We had the room right next to the front desk, so there were a lot of voices during the day. And it was kind of uncomfortable feeling like there was less privacy because of it. The rooms were very clean and cute. The staff was all very kind. They do offer breakfast and a delicious parfait. Probably the best I've ever had. Coffee, tea, and pastries. Water pressure isn't great if that's something that's important to you. Personally, i thought it was very soothing. Parking is first come first serve. Theres maybe four spots right out front and then about three more along the curbside. It's just a couple minutes from the beach and a really great restaurant we ate at. Overall I really enjoyed it here and I would probably stay again if it weren't for being right next to the front desk.

My family and I stayed at this hotel for two nights and it was a wonderful experience. The room was adorable and had a terrace that had a great view. The only thing I wish this place had more of is breakfast options. The only things they had to eat were a yogurt parfait, small cinnamon rolls, and small chocolate croissants. They were delicious though! I would totally stay here again!

Great location to the beach (lovers point) and friendly stuff. We were also provided nice breakfast with pastries, tea, and their homemade yoghurt parfait. Room is clean and we love our stay there!

This is the noisiest accommodation I have ever stayed in! The walls are super thin and you can hear people stomping in the rooms above you talking in the lobby, traffic and dogs barking on the street. It was almost impossible to go to sleep at night time. The other main problem is the shower temperature. I spent 10 minutes trying to get it to an agreeable temperature and would turn the cold on just a little and all the sudden it would be freezing. Turn the other way just barely and then it’s scalding. Once you get it set to something workable be prepared for a cold blast! That is the most aggravating and uncomfortable experience. I they also do not have any premium channels or access to Netflix or prime video, so if you get sick, like I did you will be laying in bed, listening to all the noise around you with a bunch of crappy daytime TV programs to watch. No small refrigerator, loose hardware in the bathroom, dated furniture. It is beautiful on the outside, and in a fabulous location, but I will not stay here again.

The location was perfect!! Walking distance to many great restaurants, local stores and to the beach 2 min walk. The building itself gave a really good homie vibe, very relaxing and laid back. The staff were wonderful! Very polite and approachable. The room and all common areas were exceptionally clean and tidy. The room and the bathroom- a bit tight and you can hear someone walking in the hallway and the floor was creaking but considering its an old victorian building, its understandable and tolerable, since our room was on the 2nd floor, its a tough one also if you have big luggage cus theres no elevator, but like I said, its an old structure and that's the style of the building, so we really didn't mind at all. No A/C but theres a fan to use. It's not hot at all, when we were there it's November -cold weather, I am not sure during summer time though, that could be an issue. There was a complimentary champagne at night I think it's from 6pm till 8 pm, something to kick off the night before we head out for a nice dinner at one of the restaurant close by, just one block away and a very short walk, theres live music in some of the outdoor restaurant, which was very entertaining, there were cozy and classy restaurant as well, again all were just walking distance from Centrella Hotel. Their yogurt parfait was really good and some pastries for breakfast was nice. Coffee and tea always available in the lobby, which was very convenient since we love to drink coffee and tea. Very limited parking in the building and its first come, first serve only, but the street parking was really easy to find, without any meter. All in all our experience with our stay was great! Just what we needed. People on the street and by the beach were nice and smiling and greeting how do you do? Very cool, not a lot a people do that anymore nowadays. I really really enjoy the small community, amazing that how small and simple yet very beautiful place to unwind and bond with your better half. Also the food were phenomenal!! A bit pricey on some place but all worth it.

I give this a hotel 3 stars and that’s only because of the location. We stayed in a cottage that was very dated and tired. The furniture was old and beat up, the bed frame was not attached to bed and was resting against the wall with huge gauges in the wall. The blinds were chipped, cracked and warped. The carpet was old and needs to be replaced. The whole unit could use a new paint job and the dated wallpaper needs to go. The place has potential but needs some help.

I would give more than five stars for the warm and helpful staff if I could. The complimentary breakfast yogurt parfaits with house-made granola and fresh cut fruit were delicious. Excellent location close to the ocean and Cannery Row. Gorgeous garden and patio areas.
