“Bad Customer Service & Incorrect Website Rooms”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I went on their website and saw one queen room available for $70, and one double queen for $79. I called to ask a question about the room amenities and was told the last $70 room was just booked. I asked about the double queen and she said it’s not available for only one night.

Well, I returned to the website about 15 minutes later and it still showed both these room options. I had entered in the correct date and for one night only. So I called back to ask again why it is still listed on the website, and is it definitely booked already? She said yes it’s booked.

I said what if I were to book it on the website, then I’d show up and my room would not be available? She said I would probably be given a call after booking to tell me it’s not really available. I said, well then can you honor the $70 price listed on your website but give me an upgrade or some other room? The manager had to call me back, only to tell me NO, they would not honor the $70 price.

Although I would have been willing to pay $79 for a room, I was so angered by this lack of customer service and the fact they would rather lose my business than honor the price on their website, that I will never stay here. Instead I am staying at the Lovers Point Inn, for which I paid $99 – hope it was worth it Sea Breeze to keep your $9, yet lose my business and get a bad review!

“Very nice motel at a great price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

We were expecting a regular motel but were very pleasantly surprised to have a lovely cottage. Our room was very nicely decorated and spacious. The best feature is the absolute quiet! So peaceful. Located just two miles to Cannery Row, we enjoyed walking to the Monterey Bay Aquarium along the lovely Pacific Grove coastline.

Room Tip: Ask for a cottage in the rear. Bring slippers, the tile floors are cold!

“Another good stay at the Sea Breeze”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Our family stayed at the Sea Breeze in November. My husband and I had stayed there in March, and returned this time with our adult (20's) children. Like most of the hotels/inns in PG, the Sea Breeze is an older property. That said, the property is well-kept, the rooms are attractively furnished and very clean. The office staff are friendly and efficient.

The very best thing about the Sea Breeze is it's proximity to the ocean (2 blocks easy walk) and the coastal walking/running path that runs all the way from Monterey to (almost) Pebble Beach. The PG municipal golf course is one block away.

Hubby and I stayed in rm 432: king bed, large flat-screen tv, mini fridge, jetted tub/ shower
combo, coffeemaker, hair dryer, toiletries. Our two daughters and son-in-law shared rm 417: 2 doubles, mini fridge, coffeemaker, hair dryer, toiletries, small tv, a big plus was separate
bathroom and vanity areas. There is a free continental breakfast in the office ( muffins, coffee, juice) and the kids found it satisfactory. Hubby and I usually bring our own cereal, fruit, etc for breakfast.

I found an online special for $400 total for 2rooms/2 nights, making it an excellent value for this area.

Room Tip: 432 is at the end of one of the buildings, so only one wall that is common to another room.

“A magical property!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

My family of four was more than comfortable for our extended stay in the roomy accomodation with two very snuggly double beds and plenty of space to hang out and not get in each others hair too much! We loved being nestled under the graceful arc of a lovely oak tree right outside the room, and spent many brisk mornings and evenings by the classy gas outdoor firepit. The staff were friendly and professional, a notch way above standard hotel service- more along the lines of a boutique hotel.With the Christmas lights up, the smell of the sea all round mingled with the pine trees, and the hummingbirds and butterflies as regular visitors, we found this to be a magical, serene place. Downtown Pacific Grove was an easy walk, but it was nice to be a little removed from the activity of the busy little town. Great value for the dollar-a gem!

“So happy we found it!”

Found this Inn in the travel coupon guide so i was not expecting much. When we puled up it had a motor lodge kind of look to it. We went to the front desk where we were very welcomed by the staff! When got a great deal on a room. When we go tto the room I was pleasantly surprised. The owner of this hotel really takes care of their product. Kudos to housekeeping as well the room was immaculate! The property was very quiet even with many cars parked outside. i will definately be back!! I am so hapy we found this place by chance!
