Bide-A-Wee Inn & Cottages 221 Asilomar Avenue, Pacific Grove, CA 93950

"We stayed for 2 nights to explore Big Sur. It was a great base. The hotel ground are lovely, the firepit for evenings was a nice touch. We had an upstairs room just off reception which was ok, seemed quite dated. It was a bit small and squishy but perfectly comfortable. The location is perfect though, its in a very quiet area, you can walk to the coast in 10 mins which is a lovely walk."

"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. This place is quaint and cozy, and very close to the ocean. The cottages themselves are connected to each other, so keep that in mind; although, we rarely heard our neighbors. Parking is very limited, but we were always able to find a spot. When we arrived late on our first night, check-in was easy, but the cottage was freezing cold. All of the baseboard heaters were off. It would have been nice if they would have preheated the cottage for us as it took a very long time to get to a comfortable temperature. The cottage accommodations are basic, but acceptable. There is some wear and tear showing, so it's likely ready for refurbishment with fresh paint and new furniture. Despite the above constructive feedback, we enjoyed our stay in paradise, and would stay at this property again in the future."

"Booked a room, spoke to someone on the phone about my arrival time (prior to 8pm, which was 30 minutes from the time of booking my room). They were perfectly nice about it, was a courteous and routine interaction other than them saying if I Arrived later than 9, the office would be closed. 10 minutes later as I was driving there, they called and canceled. The person I had just spoken to claimed they made a mistake and actually had no rooms available, except for one "really tiny room with almost no space. Like, really really small." I had to pull off the highway in the dark and try to find another place to stay. And when I asked for an immediate reimbursement since I had already provided payment, they emailed and said "we canceled your reservation as you requested on the phone." Sounds like an employee wanted to leave early and not deal with explaining why to their boss. It was pretty rude and caused a lot of stress."

"My son and I stayed here last weekend, for three nights. It was a rainy weekend, so we opted not to bring our dogs. The office kindly removed the pet fees from the invoice. We got a pet-friendly room with 2 queen beds, a kitchenette and bath, of course. Since we had a pet-friendly room, the couch and the bedding was covered in a sheet. There was plenty of open floor space, had we brought the dogs and their beds. The heat was provided by a gas fireplace, and it worked great. The room felt safe and cozy, the beds were comfortable, there were plenty of fluffy towels, and the flooring looked brand new. The TV worked great, and the guide was easy. We got local news & weather, and plenty of football. The office manager was friendly and polite. I love staying so close to the ocean - the beach is a block away. We spent the rainy Saturday and Sunday at the aquarium and had a nice place to land afterwards."
