Built in 1892, the Centella Hotel is a beautiful Victorian, perfectly nestled in downtown Pacific Grove. Walk to Lover’s Point for a stroll on the beach or adventure through the rocky cliffs for breathtaking views. There are countless dining options within walking distance or enjoy the hotel’s complimentary breakfast.

Really cute and clean place with lots of Victorian appeal. The staff were super friendly and professional. It’s just one block from downtown, so it’s nice and quiet but still super easy to walk to shops and restaurants. The continental breakfast was tasty. Overall, a great stay — would definitely come back

It's in a great location. The breakfast is very limited however, and the hotel could use some cosmetic upgrades. It's a decent place in a decent location at a pretty reasonable price point.

Paul

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very disappointed with our stay. The photographs online make the overall condition of the Centrella look brand new compared to what it is. The building is run down, the walls in our room had flaking off paint, stains, and busted hardware. The bed was falling apart and the linens were all off white. On top of this the shower went from hot to cold every time someone flushed. We left feeling ripped off given how much we paid and comparing the cost to other similarly priced accommodations in Pacifica Grove. Only thing this place still has going for it is the location.
