The Olympia Lodge - Pacific Grove, California

Matteo L

La colazione dell'albergo è pessima, pochissima scelta sia come bevande che come mangiare, i "dolci" che vengono proposti sono gommosi. Se avete la possibilità escludete la colazione dal vostro pacchetto.|Il lodge è risultato troppo rumoroso a causa di bambini che corrono su e giù per i vari piani della struttura e quando abbiamo provato a chiamare la lobby nessuno ci ha risposto!!||Se potete evitate di soggiornare qui..state alla larga!

Camere un po' datate, senza aria condizionata

I had a wonderful time. The staff was extra attentive and upgraded my room to a balcony room at no extra charge. I stayed 2 nights. The price was right. Everything was located in close proximity to the hotel. I didn’t eat breakfast because honestly we came to eat shrimp and clam chowder bread bowls. The staff was awesome and gave me 2 juice boxes on my way out after I was checking out for my kids. We had 2 deers right outside our hotel room. The views were amazing. Parking wasn’t an issue we got right in and even though they close the front office at 6 pm they texted us prior with instructions on obtaining our keys. All around just a great vibe. Regardless of what other reviews say I enjoyed my visit and the vibe was right. I would definitely return. Especially the location and price you definitely can’t beat it. Overall my kids had a great experience and time so that’s priceless to me. Sending a shout out to the Olympia Lodge for showing love.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I feel compelled to share the absolutely appalling experience my wife and I had during our stay at this hotel.

Where do I even begin? The rooms are shockingly outdated, with no heating or cooling system to provide even basic comfort. It was freezing at night, and the lack of climate control made it nearly impossible to rest. Breakfast, which was advertised as “included,” consisted of a single cookie, a toffee, and a piece of cheese—hardly a meal, let alone something worth mentioning as a feature.

The service? Nonexistent. After 6 PM, the staff disappears, leaving guests completely stranded. If you encounter any issues after that time, don’t bother trying to get help—you’ll just be wasting your energy.

To add to the misery, there’s no parking nearby. You’ll likely have to park far from the hotel and haul your luggage by yourself. If your room happens to be on the second floor, prepare for a grueling climb up the stairs, as there’s no elevator. And once you finally reach your room, you’re greeted by an icy, uncomfortable space that feels more like a punishment than accommodation.

I would strongly advise anyone considering this hotel to think twice and save their money. The lack of refunds only adds insult to injury. To make matters worse, I’d recommend having excellent health insurance if you dare to stay here—you’re bound to get sick from the cold, substandard conditions.

In conclusion, this was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. Please, for your own sake, avoid this place. Thank you for reading, and I hope my review helps someone avoid this nightmare.

My wife and I have visited Pacific Grove every year now for the past 15 years. We love the Olympia Lodge because of its location, its cleanliness, its very comfortable bed, its very friendly staff and its value. We’ve tried a few other nearby hotels but we keep coming back to the Olympia Lodge for all of the reasons above. We were just there a week ago and we’re already looking forward to next year’s visit. A special shout out to Jasmine for her wonderful hospitality!

A little different than most of the inns in the area. Sliding glass door entry and a balcony. Otherwise a pretty standard hotel room in size and configuration. Clean. Cozy in a good way. Friendly staff. Breakfast is a croissant and a patisserie.

All noises reverberate through the entire hotel into each individual room. Probably due to the old decking. Sliding glass doors to enter rooms is retarded. Just remove the slider and frame in a real door and small window, problem solved. Breakfast is carb heavy and unhealthy. Staff puts residents next to and on top of each other even when occupancy is low instead of spreading people out so you have privacy and quiet. This makes for even more constant noise. Won't stay here again.

Rooms are very outdated and could use a good cleaning. Bath towels had stains and bathroom was semi-clean. There is a strong mildew/bleach smell from the room...maybe because it's a few blocks away from the beach, and that's normal? Bed linens did have a strong bleach smell though. Service from the check-in desk could've used some enthusiasm. Location was great due to walking distance to the beach, and a 10 minute drive to Monterey Bay Aquarium. Would I stay there again given the great location? No. I would rather stay elsewhere in the area and be comfortable all around. It's that old saying, you get what you pay for.
