Seven Gables Inn, A Kirkwood Collection Hotel

Our first stay here. We loved the place! Very clean, staff were so friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Di Blassi room aka Mayfair room. With ocean views, very beautifully decorated and the cleanest room we ever stayed in. You can tell they pride themselves in keeping the place clean and tidy. Breakfast had plenty of options and good coffee and tea. We will stay here again, maybe in the same room.

The view from our hotel room was beautiful. The hotel itself has a wonderful antique Victorian style vibe. The free breakfast is 8am to 11am. It was alright, unfortunately they didn't have waffles but they have everything you could need for a small breakfast. As for location it's a good location. The only downside is you have to park parallel on the side of the road because they only have 3 parking spots and 2 handicap spots and those are first come first serve.

A must stay along the PCH, we stayed in a bay facing room with views of the sunrise and sunset. Right across the street is a paved walkway with dramatic cliff and breaker wave scenery and sounds. The decor and included breakfast cannot be beat.

Super impressed by this ocean-side inn in our first visit. The location cannot be beat, and our room had wide views on three sides of the coastline. Incredibly relaxing to enjoy a glass of wine in a window seat while listening to the visitors to the nearby Lover’s Point Beach and walking trail.

Staff was generous and helpful, the street parking was ample, and it’s a short walk to great restaurants in Pacific Grove.

Definitely coming back!

Great stay! We had a perfect view and the whole place was cute and homey. We even did whale and dolphin watching from our breakfast table. We will definitely stay here again!

We love it here!! The staff is so nice. The breakfast is wonderful with many choices. The views are amazing. We will be back again.

Quality meets royalty. Booked the SeaScape room and it was just perfect. The morning breakfast was delicious with gorgeous views. Highly recommend.

Great experience. Amazing view. Super service. Yummy breakfast. Cozy and quaint room. Beautifully restored Victorian with lots of stairs.

Truly, the stay of a lifetime! I cannot wait to come back on both a couples trip, and a girls' trip and have recommended Seven Gables to all of my friends who have inquired as to my pictures, where is THAT??

I stayed in the Cypress room which was absolutely unbelievable. I enjoy sipping coffee on the massive window seat and looking out at the ocean. I sincerely could not believe how beautiful the room and the view were. I enjoyed daily runs on the bike path right across the street, and at Asilomar state beach (a quick 1.5 mile jaunt down the street).

The particulars: the room was beautifully appointed (cozy robes, extra blankets, water, etc) and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable and the inn was very quiet--this room is along the street and I didn't hear any noise aside from a few creaks one expects from a very old house. The parking was perfect--I was driving in, nervous about this and literally parked outside my room every day. They have a small lot but I never used it because street parking was plentiful.

Thank you for a fantastic stay--I cannot wait to come back!

Quick addendum--I've seen other reviews complain about the breakfast: I found it plentiful and there are TONS of places within walking distances if you don't like it/want a huge breakfast. The lack of A/C posed zero problem to me--I was coming from New England and sweating in Cali the moment I got off the plane, and was not hot for a single minute at Seven Gables. If you sincerely need central A/C I'd suggest booking somewhere that isn't hundreds of years old ;)

Very historic place. Rooms are clean and comfortable, with terrific ocean views. Free street parking is available around the property.

What a beautiful Victorian with a lot of history. Short stay but so worth it. We picked Julia's room. Queen bed and as expected with Victorian decor and modern-day amenities such as a comfy bed, and a Keurig coffee maker. Most of all, what a view. The bay window looks out to the ocean. Friendly front desk staff with lots of historical information about this beautiful Inn. Quick and easy check-in. They greeted me and offered me champagne, I'm allergic so they offered me apple cider. They even walked you to your room area. What a service. Street parking was not a problem, it was a Thursday evening.

This hotel has the perfect location. You can see the waves breaking on the beach from your hotel room windows, and the decor is grand.

Great get away in Pacific Grove. Cozy rooms with great view. We stayed in the Bellevue room. The only other thing I wish they offered was an evening get together in the main lounge area with appetizers and wine/champagne. Or perhaps evening cookies with tea served until the lounge closing at 9pm. We loved the place and will definitely be back

What an amazing stay! We checked in and the lady, Kamila sorry if I misspelled that, was a delight to deal with. It was quick, and easy. She walked us directly to our room, showing us small informative things along the way.

We chose the Seascape room. I would recommend this one. The highlights were the ocean views with windows that could open to hear the waves break. Waiting on us in the room were two comfortable chairs that overlooked bay with a bottle of wine. I also loved that a fan was provided. The absence of a television was nice too.

The breakfast room was beautiful with a great view. Henriberto, apologies again if I misspelled his name, is an asset to the property. He is so kind, attentive, and diligent to make sure that the food and drink were stocked and the tables were cleaned.

The location was right by a footpath that carved along the ocean, a 3 minute walk to Lover's Point, a delcious restaurant and coffee shop.

I think you'll be hard pressed to find a better stay in Pacific Grove.

We stayed 6 days here and ist was beautiful. All rooms are nicely decorated and the view from our room was great. Some people complained about a couple of things that I can‘t agree to: the breakfast was very fine, one type of eggs or a quiche, hash browns or country potatos, good selection of fruit and cereals. The coffee was always fresh brewed and everything was served on fine china.
The only thing they could do better, would be room services at least every 2 days.
But altogether - a really nice hotel.

Tremendous. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel very welcome. Check-in was seamless and the receptionist was extremely helpful in informing us about the local area including restaurants for dinner and offered us a complimentary glass of champagne.

He showed us to our room which had a fantastic view of the ocean. We awoke early and saw the sunrise from our room ('The Garden Room'). The Breakfast Room also affords remarkable views of the pacific ocean. Highly recommended.

Great for couples, great views. Breakfast could use more options but it was included so that was good.

Great place to stay and enjoy a relaxing day by the California Coast. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was okay. Note no TV.

A last-minute trip to the coast led us to a stay at this location. The property is well-maintained and is directly across from a beautiful walking path along the water. We hope to go back sooner rather than later.

If you like historic accommodations without fluff you will love the Seven Gables Inn. They offer daily breakfast which has a mix of items such as eggs or quiche as well as fresh fruit and cereal. The rooms vary in size and the bay views are breathtaking. Due to the age of the inn and desire to keep the historic vibe there are no phones or televisions in the rooms. Who needs the modern conveniences when the scenery can draw you in and keep your attention for hours. I would have given 5 stars across the board if the room we had, had been larger and if beds were made daily and room service had been offered. Eventhough these services weren't available this would not keep us from coming back.
