Andril Fireplace Cottages offers accommodation in Pacific Grove and is situated on 2 acres of land. Barbecue facilities are available on site as well as outdoor seating areas.

Each room features a fireplace, a TV, and a telephone, as well as board games and DVDs for children. Each room includes an en suite bathroom. This place is a hidden gem and we’re so glad we found it. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a 2 bedroom one bathroom cottage and it had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked, and the cottage had plenty of room for our family of 4. The beds were so comfortable and I had a good night sleep every night as did everyone else. Office staff were so kind and helpful. The whole experience with our stay was perfect from the second we arrived to our check out. We loved the property amenities and location. My kids especially loved the complimentary snacks in the office. Staying there we were minutes to downtown pacific grove, cannery row, 17 mile drive, Carmel, and right across the street from a wonderful mellow beach. We couldn’t have asked for more and would not hesitate to recommended this place to anyone. We can’t wait to return.

Stilwell Hotel set amidst upscale shopping and dining in the city centre, is less than 1 km from Carmel Beach. Free WiFi and a daily continental breakfast are included.

Cable TV is provided in each guest room at the Stilwell Hotel. The private bathrooms include a hairdryer and free toiletries. Nice modern hotel and very friendly staff. The walk to the main mile was very short, the beach is a leisurely 15-20 minute walk. We had the suite with 2 bedrooms and felt very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and also different every day. The pizza in the evening by the fire was also very tasty. We were very satisfied.
