To start we were greeted with champagne on arrival. We were then given a tour of the inn ending in our room. The room the Mariposa is a second floor walk up just above the breakfast area. The view is unbelievable with both bay and cove view.
The windows open so no small children. We did not hear noise from the breakfast area. The fireplace is a fake electric unit no heat noise or flame. Hard to see unless the lights are off.

The bed is comfortable but if you have a C Pap the only plug is on the right side. The left plug is switched and connected to three lights.

The room was clean had a k cup in the room. The inn provided k cup pods and water. The bath has soaps conditioner and shampoo. Bow dryer in room.

You are in walking distance to light house cannery and downtown

Room tip: Parking on the street side streets and 5 parking spot in lot. Traffic out of area starts around 4 pm.

Trip type: Travelled as a couple

Steven, Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your visit with us. Sounds like you had a peaceful stay. For your next visit, we will be happy to loan you an extension cord for your C pap machine if your room does not have a socket that is located on your side of the bed. We want you to be comfortable.

We spent three nights in the Crespi room. Our room and the common areas were exceedingly clean and well-kept. The staff was always helpful and available. The dining room for breakfast is a magnificent setting with a wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean. The location of the inn is convenient to Monterrey, Pacific Grove, the 17 Mile Drive, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and Big Sur. We drove in and around all of these areas and did not see a place that we would have rather stayed. We will return to the Seven Gables Inn.

Thank you for such a kind review! We truly enjoyed hosting you and would love to again. Our staff works to create a memorable experience for all of our amazing guests. Our location is very convenient in relation to all of the little towns nearby too. Close to everything but far enough as well.

I really loved the beautiful room, view, location and comfortable bed. What was a real disappointment was the breakfast -- terrible coffee, broken toaster, undercooked large potato cubes, quiche that was just a fluffy joke, pathetic tiny pastries and the only protein was hard-boiled eggs. The final insult was a silly mask requirement while in the dining room. Glad I read the reviews and brought my own smoked salmon to put on an (untoasted) English muffin. What the heck is so hard about providing bagels, a toaster and how about some cold cuts? I will not be back.

Room tip: Make sure you can open windows for air. Glad there was a fan.

Dear M6018Xchristinel, We are disappointed you did not enjoy our breakfast. We have addressed the toaster issue. Breakfast gets a lot of nice comments, usually. Regarding the face mask while circulating in the breakfast room, we have added this requirement to our website as well as to our email confirmations. We don't want any unpleasant surprises for our guests. If you do not wish to stay with again, we hope you continue to visit the beautiful Monterey Bay.

Sought to book , but over $800 per night, for what, sleeping in a museum?

Minimal parking, no daily housekeeping, no nightly turndown service, no breakfast meats (vegetarian only), no afternoon wine and cheese, no AC...no thanks!

We look for value when we travel, especially at these rates.

As others have mentioned the rooms are average. There is no AC and even though it is cool here, the rooms are really stuffy, especially for sleeping. In order to get any air circulation you have to leave the windows open. Since there are no screens on the windows this allows some bugs to enter the room. Nothing like paying several hundred dollars per night to have flying insects buzzing around your head as you listen to the motorcycles go by in the middle of night. The rooms are noisy due to walls being paper thin. If you have an affectionate couple staying in close proximity to your room be prepared to listen to their exclamations of delight. The shower head probably hasn't been changed in many years since it pretty much just spits out water. The quiche and potatoes served in the morning were cold. Shouldn't be surprised since the burners on the warming trays were not lit. The women working the breakfast was very unfriendly. It was clear she didn't like what she was doing.
For the several hundred dollar price per night you would do better to stay at a Holiday Inn Express. As a side note the Inn is for sale for sixteen million.

Room tip: Don't stay at the Seven Gables Inn

We are sorry you didn't enjoy your visit with us. It is worth being said that you stayed on Moto GP weekend which is a motorcycle event at nearby Laguna Seca Raceway. We don't typically have that many motorcycles in town. It is true there is no air conditioning and it is true that we do not need it. We do not have screens on our windows but we also do not have biting bugs that enter in the night. They fly but do not bite. For the record, the inn sold a little more than a year ago and is no longer for sale.
