I'm not sure if I was influenced by the previous review by Mjolinar. I've been hunting for interesting B&B's (on the lower-price side) and Gosby House, while fulfilling the attractiveness on the outside, did not quite deliver the B&B spirit. Maybe that's natural because it's sort of a "chain".
All the beautiful "shells" of B&B were there: beautiful victorian house, quaint if a bit tired, comfy bed and cute room, coffee and cookies and sherry, very hospitable staff, even provided a little book of Pacific Grove history. But somehow I just didn't feel it. I felt like more in a hotel. The stay wasn't too memorable.
Some details: Breakfast was interesting but not the best, there was a rush hour where guests crowded waiting for the staff to fill up empty trays. The cookie jar wasn't there the whole day either -- something I especially enjoy at B&B's. The location was nice but you'd need to find your own street parking. The bath robe was not comfy enough for me to want to wear it. By the way, we did catch some very late night dessert up a few blocks in a nice restaurant.
Also, I called and got a same-day rate for $105, which was pretty nice. For the regular price though not sure if I'd choose here again.
