Avoid

We stayed here two nights for our anniversary. The location is a two minute walk from the beach, but the positives ended there. The room was absolutely filthy and had a smell we couldn't shake despite leaving the windows open all day while gone. The walls were so thin we could hear the TV and conversations of next door neighbors as well as upstairs neighbors. We had to sleep with ear plugs. The bed was uncomfortable and the sponge provided in the kitchen was used, dirty, and falling apart. We will never stay here again.

Basic & close to beach

Our cottage was clean, the heat worked, the plumbing was fine AND it was a quick walk to the beach. Also, we had no problem checking in/out, or with our beds. My rating is between 3 - 4 stars because there were lots of ants in the bathroom & kitchen area. That was a nuisance but we were only there for 2 nights.

Terrible Place To Stay

First off this was a gift to my wife for our 20th anniversary and what a nightmare it has been. I booked two nights and only stayed one night and am leaving and not staying the second night. Place is out dated, Toilet leaked in room and kept us up all night, bed was as hard as a rock, heater never heat the room efficiently and staff was the worst. The staff would not make any accommodation or any small reimbursement for the inconvenience. The people here are more concerned about the money rather than your happiness with your stay. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS PLACE. The mangers name is Alex and when the front desk person called him to let him know about the situation he could care less and told him I would be charged in full no matter what. I stay in Pacific Grove a-lot and there is no other hotel or cottage like this one where they don’t care like this place. Highly disappointed and shame on the manager for not caring what so ever. I refuse to let others experience this type neglect. I would suggest the Asilomar, Andril Cottages or the Best Western The Inn if you want a much better experience.

customer service not a priority.

If I could give it a zero I would. I vacation in Pacific Grove once a year and we brought our puppy and because they take pets we thought we would give them a try.. So on my to Pacific Grove I stopped deposited money in the bank and drove to bide-a-wee.(I had called them prior to this to ask if they would take cash, they said yes!) So we get to bide-a-wee (4 hour drive) I go to check in and they tell me my reservation has been canceled. I asked them why the said insufficient funds, I said check them now. and of course it is there. (What if I would have paid with cash?) She said she doesn't have a room for us their full. I said you need to figure something out. So here is her solution we could only stay 3 nights instead of 4 so the first two nights we stayed in the original room we reserved, then we had to be out by 11am but couldn't get in to the other room till 4pm so at 4pm we go to the worst room I've ever stayed in. it was like a frat house dorm room. they brought in a roll away bed for my daughter and when it was open it blocked the front door and you could not get out! There is a reason this is rated a two star hotel. so for our 4th night we went about a block away to "Lighthouse Inn and Cottages" where I should have stayed in the first place. "Thanks Bide-A-Wee for ruining our family vacation!"

Room tip: You want a good room go to a different Inn and stay away from Bide-A-Wee

Room was different than our reservation, so we left but were charged for full stay

We stayed here before a few years ago and it was fine (4 stars, no-frills room in a good location), but this time we walked into a room that didn't match the description of what we reserved. When we said we weren’t interested and would prefer to stay elsewhere, the manager refused to cancel, discount it or even speak to us (he was off site that day and responded to our request to cancel via the desk clerk). The clerk said he would call us the next day.

We left, but we never got a call back, just a charge for the full two-day stay on our credit card 3 days later.

Given the numerous positive reviews, I’m sure this can’t be typical, but it sure made our first Monterey visit in a while less pleasant than it should have been.

If you want more background, we had called before we made a reservation to make sure that the room we were looking at had a fireplace, which is a must for a winter stay on the Monterey Peninsula. The person at the front desk assured us that it did so we made the reservation. When we got here, it had no fireplace. The manager either didn’t believe us (he asked the name of the employee who told us, which of course I didn’t bother to write down, because I didn’t anticipate it coming to this) or just didn’t care ("it's the day of the reservation", so it can’t be cancelled regardless of what room you thought you were getting.)

And to add insult, the room wasn’t available for those two nights, so they likely rented it out anyway. (Double the earnings on the same room!)

So now we’re in the middle of a credit card dispute over the room. We’re likely to get the money back, but only after a whole lot of lost time and stress.
