Pros: Excellent experience here at The Jabberwock :) Comfortable, clean, and great location. They provided a little happy hour with wine and snacks and fresh baked cookies everyday. Breakfast was also great and we met some really nice guests that we were also staying there. We met the owner Sue who stopped by to chat and introduce us to her beautiful dogs. Dorothy the Inn Keeper is so sweet and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Overall a great experience at The Jabberwock!

Pros: Fantastic historic property providing great hospitality and really well located just a short walk from Cannery Row and the aquarium. Comfy rooms and delicious inventive breakfasts. The complementary afternoon cookies and early evening canapés and wine is a really nice touch. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. One of the best B&B's I've ever stayed in, would definitely stay here again next time I visit Monterey.

Pros: It was so cold in the dining room and the common area or living room. The cheese and wine was barely a wine and cheese. Breakfast, no meat or bacon or anything like that...when we asked about it, they said, we're Vegan? Did not read that in the previous reviews. Beds were nice, but the rooms were cold, beds were good, but outlet for my light was out. Parking was snug. Staff was good, they were all friendly but some could not speak English.

Cons: It was terrible cold in the common areas. Internet in our room was non existent. No signal, could never connect. TV was the size of a 11 inch tv? Seems they were getting by with the minimum of effort and expense to keep the inn running. Next time we'll stay at a real hotel...

Pros: The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good. Quiet. They did pack a nice picnic breakfast on the morning we were leaving.
Cons: Not enough space to hang clothes up no place to hang up dresses or put suit case. Room very small. No place to hang wet towels. Always had to hunt to find staff. We stayed for 4 nights they advertised a wine and cheese each night however, there was no white wine for two nights.
2.5 Mediocre
Pros: Some quirky features in the Library Room.
Cons: This property was over priced and seemed to be riding on previous legacy write ups (1000 places) ; it looked and felt tired and appeared to be conducting a tick box exercise to meet its started rating rather than investing in the property to Reflect the very high cost for staying here.

Pros: The location of the hotel right across the street from the ocean was ideal. The decor and style of the hotel was very charming and unique - it felt more like a B&B experience. The rooftop terrace was a lovely place to enjoy a drink with a view. The breakfast was certainly a highlight - I am only disappointed that I checked out too early on my last day to enjoy it once more! The gentleman who served us breakfast (possibly the owner) was so pleasant and welcoming, and the kitchen staff did an excellent job preparing a truly gourmet breakfast that exceeded expectations. The bathroom in the room was nice and large. The room had a floor fan unit to help mitigate stuffiness in the somewhat small room, which was appreciated.

Pros: A charming hotel with a delightful white-tablecloth European-style breakfast experience. Double-pane windows ensured a very quiet night's sleep. A hip (but not loud) rooftop bar with a relaxing nighttime view — pleasant, helpful staff there and everywhere. Easy parking. Beach walk. Good location.

5.0 Okay
Pros: Friendly staff. Great full service complimentary breakfast.
Cons: Bed was comparable to sleeping on the floor. It felt like a box spring with no mattress. No counter top space in bathroom. Made things tricky but there was a roll cart that helped with place to set toiletries. Parking was hard to come by and even more difficult to access the small lot. Room faced 4 lane main drag and the noise was loud & constant. If a truck drove by the entire room & bed shook. No AC. A small desk fan is in the room, but doesn't help much. From the moment we walked in, the hotel stunk of bacon grease. The room stunk of it too. The bed linens felt itchy. I do not reccomend & will not be staying here again.

Cons: The heater and the TV didn't seem to want to work together. It shorted the main room twice so I had to notify the front desk. The bed had a hair in it that wasn't mine. The location is right on the main road, but the noise didn't bother me too much.

Cons: The outside looks unattractive and does not give away the treats inside. Only reason for not giving it a 10/10 was that our mattress sank in the middle and wasn’t very comfy.

Cons: We didn't mind the small room (barely space around the bed, dresser and chair) because everything we needed was available. We were in Monterey to experience the sights, not walk around our room, but I suppose some people might not prefer such close quarters.
