“The Gosby House Inn is a real gem!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

We arrived late on a Saturday night and our beds were turned down and ready for a comfortable night sleep. The rooms are large and furnished with nice antiques. Lovely decor gave our room a welcoming feeling. It even had a warm, gas fireplace.
In the morning we mingled with other guests and enjoyed a delicious breakfast including cereal, coffee cake, eggs and fresh fruit among other things. It was here that we were able to enhance our itinerary with the highlights from other travellors experiences. The front desk was friendly and also very helpful in this regard.
The wonderful experience we had at the Gosby House made the magic of Monterey come to life! I highly recommend you enjoy a quiet weekend there soon.

“Charming inn!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We celebrated our anniversary here. We had the Julia Pratt room and it was charming. It is a nice size room with a fireplace. It has its own outside entry. We could park outside our room on the street. Pacific Grove is a quiet town with its own charm. We could walk to the ocean and to Cannery Row in Monterrey. The breakfast is good, not great. They have good snacks, coffee, and tea available.

“Pleasant and Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

We wanted a little pre Christmas escape to celebrate my birthday and were told by friends that the Inn offered some special rates at this time of year. Happily, a 2 for 1 rate was in effect so we booked it. I was told that our room, #17, was on the main floor toward the back and was "small" and didn't have a fireplace. No problem. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised to find the room NOT small at all with a lovely window seat with a view of a small garden. The room was quiet which we always appreciate. The only flaw was the BED. The mattress felt bare of padding. No "pillowtop" mattress for sure. I have stayed in at least a dozen hotels last year and this mattress was the worst. (However, this problem may be fixed by now as I reported it to the front desk person upon checkout. She said she will note it - and she did, and that after the 3rd mattress complaint it would be replaced. This is reassuring)
After visiting the Monterey for 53 years, Pacific Grove is currently our favorite area. So true village like, with charming shops, great restaurants, uncrowded and wonderful to walk in. Much more low key and authentic than Carmel.
Our room # was 17 - El Marie Dyke and if the excellent rate is offered the next time we want to go, we will definitely return to Gosby House. The late afternoon wine & cheese offering is fresh and plentiful and the breakfast is hardy and delicious. And it's all served on real plates and with real utensils!

“Gosby House Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011

This former rest home for Methodist ministers is full of character. One of the main features of the inn is the placing of teddy bears in each room which can be purchased. Our room which was at the cheaper end of the accommodation overlooked a small garden at the rear and it was possible to sit out and have tea and watch the humming birds! The breakfasts were generous and tasty and overall this was a very nice hotel in an interesting area. It is situated close to the 17 mile drive and Carmel.

“Service is five stars, rooms are three stars”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

We have been to many Four Sisters Inn properties over more than 20 years. 20 years ago, we found the Gosby House charming, but as we have aged over time, so have the rooms. We are frequent Carmel, Monterey and PG visitors and I am starting to think this is normal for the area, that the inns just don't feel the need to update.

We definitely enjoyed our deck with the bit of view and sat out there both in the morning and in the evening (the rooms with the decks are in the Carriage House).

The town is cute and there are some great restaurants (Joe Rombi's, Passion Fish, the Little Red House..) The walk along Lover's Point and around the bay to the ocean is one of the best in the area.

Would we stay there again, probably because the staff is friendly and the breakfast included is a nice value. We just love the area, but still haven't found the type of place you can find in the wine country.
