We stayed in a 1-bedroom king cottage with kitchenette at the Bide-a-Wee Inn & Cottages in Pacific Grove for 4-nights over Christmas ($168/night). The Bide-a-Wee is a pleasant L-shaped 1-storey motel on a large grassy property in a quiet area only a 1-block walk from Asilomar State Beach. The “L” encloses a pleasant grassy area with a seating areas around a gas fire pit and several picnic tables, with a number of sitting areas scattered around the property. The office at the entrance had coffee and very light breakfast items (bagels, granola, hot chocolate mix). There were no restaurants or stores nearby, although both the Pacific Grove downtown and Monterey were a short drive. Our room, which was called a cottage but actually 3 units clustered together as a separate motel unit, was moderate in size and comfortable. The kitchen had a small refrigerator (much bigger than those in motels) with a freezer unit, a stove/oven, coffee maker and microwave, and just enough flatware, pots and cutlery (it was like Noah's Ark, 2 of everything). The sitting area had a TV (commercial channels). There was a small desk & chair to the side, next to the sliding glass door onto a private patio with 2 chairs. The bedroom had a king bed with side tables, another TV, and a large clothes closet. The bathroom had a single sink vanity, and a shower with instant hot water and plenty of it. The room was poorly cleaned on the first day (gritty, dirty floor – disappointing considering the $40/night pet fee), but that improved during our stay. The internet was generally good, but almost non-functional on Christmas Day. Overall, a very comfortable unit that had everything we needed for cooking and a comfortable stay. Its location, walking distance to the beach sunsets and the butterfly sanctuary, was perfect.

“Great little stop for Monterey/Pacific Grove area”

I was a little concerned by previous reviews so didn’t expect a lot from Bide-A-Wee. I was however pleasantly impressed. It’s in a quiet location, a short walk to the ocean which has a trail that allows for a walk along the coast to Monterey. The room was clean, safe and comfortable, exactly what I… lisää

It’s in a quiet location, a short walk to the ocean which has a trail that allows for a walk along the coast to Monterey. The room was clean, safe and comfortable, exactly what I needed. There was sufficient amenities to make for a pleasant stay.

“Ok place to stay for one night”

Decent hotel. Very clean rooms. Microwave in the room but no cutlery or plates. Had to get cutlery from reception. Not much formation given at check in. Nothing that close for an evening meal. Served its purpose for us as stop on our road trip.
