Nothing.

It’s cleanliness, location and the staff!!

Very clean, nice quality toiletries, fruit and coffee day round, very attentive host, super close to 17mile drive and a 25min drive to lovely Carmel, with beautiful sunset views merely 5min away

Sunset Inn provides simple, clean, comfortable accommodations in close proximity to the beach and also the road and parking lot traffic. We loved this stay and would recommend it for low maintenance travelers that are not in need of a silent retreat and appreciate simple comfort and easy accommodations.

This hotel is well located, especially if you want to enjoy the bike-ability of this area. We brought bikes and the hotel was far enough from town to enjoy a sunset ride along the beach to restaurants but still close enough for an easy ride home after dinner.

Lovely clean rooms, quiet and peaceful location and perfectly positioned for walking access to the beach. Nice warm welcome from front of house and beautifully lit outside to create a really special environment.

Breakfast area is very small.

Location is excellent, very close to the beach and trails and the 17 mile drive. Rishi, the manager is very kind and helpful.

Recently refurbished, great bed (firm like we like it), great pillows, clean, decent sized fridge, all good! Breakfast was basic, nice coffee machine (makes a pretty decent vanilla latte). Golf course restaurant easy 5 minute walk, very good! Old Town area with lots of food and shopping options a 5-min drive. Lots of deer nearby (a Pacific Grove staple).

It’s just a basic breakfast that’s all.

Great location within walking distance of Pacific Grove beach point. Also 20-30 min walk to restaurants if you want. 10-15min car drive to aquarium and whale watching (highly recommended, almost guaranteed sightings) Very friendly and helpful staff. Chalets looks great with seating area outside and all usual facilities. Clean and well maintained. The breakfast is basic continental and small seating area outside or outside your chalet room. Also coffee, water and snacks available throughout day.

Sunset Inn is a cozy little haven. We received a warm welcome, and everything is in place to make you feel right at home. The beach is just a few steps away, the place is full of charm — we truly loved our stay. It's peaceful and relaxing.

There were only a few things that could’ve used improvement. The first thing is, there is no air conditioning in any of the units. The second thing is the lighting. It is very dim in the rooms and not great lighting for getting ready. The shower also had very low water pressure and a small Thin curtain that made it messy to take a shower. Some of the furniture looked old and dated with chipped paint along with an outdated alarm clock that have been preset to an early alarm time. It woke me up, unnecessarily on my day off.

The property was clean with a good location. The staff was friendly and really tried to make up for anything lacking.

The only downside is the parking can be tight.

It was very cute! Friendly staff, and nice spacious room.

Nothing, it was perfect!

The manager was so gracious and helpful. He accommodated our group of girlfriends by opening the fire pit for us to lounge at catching up with each other - even til late at night!

The alarm in my room went off at 5;55 am

super staff, fairly quick check in. Manager was right on top of making sure our stay (10) group, was comfortable. When we arrived we were pleased to see a fridge in the room, and new tasteful remodeled rooms. I love that they have chairs to ponder oin front of each room. the fireplace was cozy and available for chit chat. Breakfast had many quick options. I would definatley stay at Sunset Inn again

The Sunset Inn is extremely cosy and clean. Ample parking and the rooms are very well appointed. The Manager, Rishi was extremely helpful and super friendly. The location is super. Right at the start of the 17 mile drive Would definitely recommend staying here

Nothing in particular. Maybe a little far from downtown Pacific Grove, but that could be a plus for others.

Great accommodations. Very friendly and accommodating staff. They are redoing the outside and inside. Looks great! Nice quiet location in Pacific Grove. Close to the beach.

The location is very good, near seaside, convenient to anywhere. The staff are friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking lots. The room is very well facilitated, clean, cozy and comfy. All setup/arrangement in the room are reasonable and thoughtful. The shower is extremly good, with strong and hot water.

Wi-fi in the area is iffy...be sure to get the Sunset Inn wi-fi access for best reception.

From the moment I arrived the Hospitality Manager Rishi was so welcoming and graciuos. He set me up in a wonderful balcony room, and acclimated me on the various restaurants & places to visit. The office has choices of juice and sparkling waters, fresh fruit, cereals, energy bars, etc. The room was clean & neat with a coffee station. The location is very close to the beach, 17 mile drive, golf courses, and a short drive to various attractions. Plenty of parking spaces and the staff on site were always friendly & pleasant.
