For my husband's 30th birthday we stayed at the Inn at 213 Seventeen Mile Drive from the 18th through the 22nd of November and had an absolutely wonderful time. We chose the Monterey area for the myriad of activities is provided and we chose the Inn for its location, price, and ambiance.
One of our favorite things regarding our stay was our innkeeper Seth. Each night from 5:30 to... he would make sure that hors d'oeuvres and wine were plentiful, the fire was crackling, and the guests were happy. This "social hour" was delightful as it was fantastic to interact with the other guests and learn their stories. This also allowed travelers to be welcomed not only by Seth, our innkeeper, but by the current guests as well. A note on our innkeeper, he was great. Each morning we were met with a piping hot, delectable, and fully satisfying breakfast. Seth was also very helpful during the stay and quite enjoyable to talk with in the evenings.
We stayed in the Pelican room, which is actually its own separate cottage. It was peaceful, secluded, romantic, and cozy (no this is not code for small). Our room included a lovely gas fireplace where in the evenings we would snuggle in our robes, warm our toes, and sip wine after a splendid day of outdoor activities. At night we would tuck ourselves into the VERY comfortable king-size bed that the room accommodated.
Overall this experience was "excellent" and I would highly recommend this property to others!
