Martine Inn in Pacific Grove

- Room extremely small; once a suitcase was open, there was barely space to walk
- “Antique” style felt more like poor maintenance than intentional design
• Lobby couch was visibly broken and sunken
• Musty smell in the room
• Window screws fell out when trying to open it
• Visible wear and damage on furniture (e.g., wardrobe)
• Bed headboard was thin, unstable, and very noisy - difficult to sit or rest against
• Blanket provided was extremely thin and unsuitable for cold weather
• No extra blankets available when requested
• Heater appeared nonfunctional despite being set over 80°
• Fireplace difficult to use; low-quality matches and short-lasting heat
• Wi-Fi only worked near the doorway or edge of the bed
• Found a large bug in my omelet at breakfast, raising serious cleanliness concerns

Proximity to the water was awesome- but not enough to outweigh the negatives. Wifi never worked. The bed was super uncomfortable. The fireplace was a pain and didn’t stay lit. The staff always seemed vaguely annoyed to be there… just not a great experience.
