Convenient Location
We stayed here to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium and friends in Pebble Beach. The location is great—close to both. The hotel has lots of space and a nice picnic area, and you can walk around outside. It feels a bit old, but it's a good spot if you want a lot of room and a convenient location.

This was my second time staying at Butterfly Grove Inn, it was great. It had everything we needed for our one night stay. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very spacious. The inn is located near the beach and has great food options nearby. I’d love to stay here again.

Seclude and peaceful. Can hear the waves and gulls from the shore. Butterfly sanctuary is beautiful. No butterflies, but it was fawning season, so we got see a family of deer. Walls are a little thin, so you might hear the neighbors. The hot tub was perfect after a long day.

Nice place
They were very welcoming. It felt a bit like staying at a grandmother's house in terms of decor, carpeting, etc. The rooms were clean and fairly quiet, and the beds were comfortable. Parking was extremely difficult which would make this a hard place to stay if you brought more than one car. Very walkable to all the cute places in Pacific grove, and not too far of a walk to the coast.
