“The Charles Pacific Grove strikes me as an excellent choice for travelers seeking a family-oriented base near Monterey's attractions. Its proximity to Lovers Point Beach and thoughtful touches like complimentary afternoon wine create an inviting atmosphere. I think this hotel provides a memorable alternative to more conventional lodging, especially given its distinct, antique charm.”
