Centrella Hotel, A Kirkwood Collection Hotel

Just got back from our trip to PG and the Centrella Hotel. The hotel itself was lovely a little worn down but still charming... and the service was also very warm and inviting however the room had something left to be desired. All and all it was nice but there were some things that really needed to be changed. We stayed in room #24 which is sold as a “partial ocean view” it’s more like a speck of an ocean view. It does have some nice views of the mountains though. The room itself was spacious, more like a suite with two rooms. One smaller room with a not so comfortable fold out sofa and a desk with a refrigerator that we had to unplug because it was so loud. Our room was also pretty loud as it was at the top of the stairs and we could hear everything in the hallways as the walls are very t

Understand it’s well booked throughout the year due to decent value (high cost area) but keep in mind that is historic - older. Hotel has a mix of rooms – a relatively small room with standard queen bed, queen room on corners, rooms on upper floor with King sized beds – understand they are larger but have a lower ceiling due to roof line. Also a few “cabins”. There is a garden area and a lounge area for public use. At arrival there ere cookies and sparkling wine. They pour wine after 5pm.

Very short walking distance to the beach which had stunning views, and about a 20 minute scenic walk along the beach to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium (which was my primary reason for visiting the area). The room was charmingly old-fashioned while still being comfortable by modern standards, and the daily breakfast yogurt parfait was delicious! Price was reasonable, although I did come during the off-season (late December). I would absolutely recommend staying here if you're looking to visit the Monterey/Pacific Grove area.

Positive: Lots of charm and decently kept for a building purported to be older than God Negative: We called the hotel at 4 pm, spoke to friendly staff, and said we'd arrive after midnight. Upon arrival, a sign instructed us to call after 9 pm for help. We called 4 times but got no answer, and waited in the rain for 20 minutes trying to reach someone.
