A modest budget hotel situated right across the street from Lovers Point, this property's biggest draw is its location. The Lovers Point Beach is just two minutes away, as are gorgeous coastal trails, while busy Lighthouse Avenue, lined with restaurants and shops, is a couple of blocks away. Rooms are simple and a bit dated -- the tiny bathrooms could use refurbishment -- but they're clean and offer a solid set of amenities, including flat-screen TVs, microwaves, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges. The inn lacks any facilities, but does offer a handful of freebies like breakfast, Wi-Fi, and on-site parking. Travelers seeking more features who don't mind spending a bit more might want to check out the mid-range Lighthouse Lodge & Cottages, which has a pool and hot tub.

An eight-minute walk from the coast, the mid-range Lighthouse Lodge & Cottages has attractive, spacious rooms with fireplaces at a price that’s hard to beat in this area. The exterior is showing its age, but the 95 rooms and cottages were nicely renovated in 2015. The outdoor pool and patio fire pits are added bonuses. Plus, there are plenty of outdoor activities for those seeking some fresh air -- especially with the adjacent historic cemetery, nearby beach, golf course, and Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary. But some may find Pacific Grove a bit too far off the beaten path; for a hotel in a similar price range in more popular Monterey, consider the Casa Munros Garden Hotel and Spa. It has a pool and spa, lovely public spaces, and a lively, convenient location.

Many activities are offered on-site, like bird watching and hiking, and there's a heated outdoor pool.

The 25-room Seven Gables Inn is a charming historic bed-and-breakfast with gorgeous interiors featuring original antiques, heavy embroidered drapes, and beautiful stained-glass windows. Rooms are frilly and old-fashioned, but have modern comforts such as iPod docks and H20 toiletries, and all have expansive ocean views. Few rooms have TVs, and kids under 12 are not allowed, which adds to the peaceful and romantic atmosphere. A hearty continental breakfast is served in a quaint dining room with stunning ocean views, and a free wine and cheese hour is held daily. The location across the street from Lovers Point Beach and a short walk from Lighthouse Avenue provides easy access to nature trails, shops, restaurants, and art galleries. This is arguably the best option in Pacific Grove; The Old St. Angela Inn and Gosby House Inn are other homey options to consider, but neither are right on the water.

Sunset Inn has just 21 clean and comfortable rooms in a enviable location just a few miles or fewer from some of central California's most popular towns and attractions. The property has the feeling of a basic yet well-maintained motel rather than an inn and consists of a number of identical, separate buildings. The location is quiet and convenient, but the property has very few features (no restaurant, gym, or spa).
