Monterey Traveler Review ~ Trip Advisor from Indiana
My wife and I found this place by reading the reviews, and it was excellent. The location was perfect. Walking distance to all of Monterey, and only a few minutes from Carmel and Point Lobos. The Inn was wonderful and food and service were both superb.

The setting is stunning- beautiful views of the bay. I never used my car for the 4 days I was there. You can walk to the Aquarium, downtown, the waterfront for kayaking, fishing, great restuarants etc. The host and staff were fabulous We requested a tour of the Inn and the antique car collection-very interesting. We loved the personal attention that is lacking in many b and b's. Rooms beautifully decorated. The evening complimentary evening cocktail party had plenty of delicious offerings. We can't wait to return.

This 1890s Victorian, converted into a Mediterranean-style villa, is conveniently located between the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Point Pinos Lighthouse, next to Cannery Row, and is within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf. Each charming guest room is uniquely decorated, and many offer marvelous views, as do the breakfast room and parlor. There is a pool table and for the guests. This historic inn is furnished with antiques, and the delicious gourmet breakfast is served on silver from the innkeeper's private collection. A stay here is a delightful trip back in time.

Everything about the Martine Inn lends itself to a romantic getaway, from the ambiance of the inn, the care of the staff, the spectacular view, the delicious breakfast and evening repast to the charming room decor. You will love it and want to return again and again.

We've been to the Martine Inn before three years ago and loved it! Did not stay in a ocean view that time but it was cozy. But this time we went and stayed at the Victoriana room and this time enjoyed the view of the ocean. If you’re a couple looking for a nice stay with fantastic views and amazing rooms you should really stay here and not look at any other b and b. We will be back a third time!

The staff was great and consistent. Breakfast (FRESH squeezed orange juice, omelete, soufflé, sausage) and evening appetizers (fresh fruit tray, antipasto tray and warm brie, wine, cookies, coffee) were very good. Hosted party on Friday night, billiard table, wi-fi, house PC, daily newspaper, aforementioned views of the otters in the bay. We met a number a nice people at breakfast and we all hung out. We decided not to go the the Concours at Pebble Beach due the the cost ($350 for a pair for gen'l admission) well one of the guests gave us an extra ticket, seeing that, another guest gave us a pass and a ride to the Concours. The price was the best around by far.

We stayed in Marie's Room. Was lovely and the view of the ocean was awesome. The rocker that faced the view was so relaxing. The food was delightful and filling. Will go back again. We felt like we were totally away from all the world's troubles.

We spent two wonderful nights at this inn. We live in the mountains, so it was especially nice to go to the sea. Our room was beautifully appointed and the inn is filled with lovely antiques and art. As the inn is situated directly across from the Monterey Bay, we enjoyed fabulous breakfasts and wine tasting while watching the otters and birds play and swim about. The innkeepers and staff were most friendly and helpful.

The Martine Inn is the best B & B in the area and probably the best one we've ever stayed at. It is romantic and the attention to detail is amazing. Don and his family make you feel part of their family. We love this inn and look forward to returning over and over again.

This was our second visit to the Martine Inn. We have stayed in two different rooms, each having their own charm. It is a stately home that we are free to explore. We enjoy the evening wine and appetizers in the dining room overlooking Monterey Bay. It is wonderful that they use the china and serving pieces from the original owner of the home. There was a time range for breakfast, which was nice for our schedule. The food is always good. We can just walk across the street to a trail that goes along the bay and takes us to the main part of Monterey. We always have an enjoyable time there.

My wife and I, like so many in this day and age, find ourselves concerned about our financial future. As a last splurge before tightening our wallets, we decided to save the expense of flying somewhere, and take a romantic getaway to nearby Pacific Grove. Ultimately, we found ourselves attracted to the Martine Inn. We both absolutely loved our stay. The service was impeccable, both professional and personable, from the very first phone inquiry until the time of our departure. For example,upon our arrival, we were provided with a tour of the grounds, accompanied by delightful bits of history regarding the property including various antiques adorning the individualized, unique rooms throughout the inn. Suffice it to say, we look forward to visiting again one day and highly recommend this establishment for anyone seeking a relaxing, intimate getaway walking distance from Lover's Point and Cannery Row.

My stay at Martine Inn was an enjoyable one, and I especially enjoyed the magnificent views of the ocean I was able to see from my room (Marie's Room) and while breakfasting. The hospitality at the inn is superb, the location is excellent, and evening appetizers and breakfast are outstanding.

We found the Martine very easily and were impressed at its location, across from the sea and a colony of harbour seals and a few minutes walk from the aquarium and Cannery Row. The house and grounds were well maintained, we certainly didn't notice any smells,cobwebs, old worn carpets or lack of housekeeping standards.

We were treated to a tour of the house, shown where the free fruit and biscuits and coffee were (the biscuits were gorgeous) and shown to our room (Rolling Oak) which was clean and tidy. In retrospect we would probably have gone for a bigger room as we had quite a lot of luggage but we decided to stay where we were as we had had a busy day travelling and couldn't be bothered to re-pack and we had booked the room in the first place it wasn't that the Martine staff had chosen the room for us. The log fire was put to good use after a whale watching trip when we came back to the house freezing - it lit immediately and soon warmed us up. The shower was very invigorating and there was always plenty of hot water and fresh towels. The small fridge was really useful and the bed was very comfortable. Its true that the furniture was old and a bit worn but that is to be expected of antiques (thats surely the appeal of them). The free paper waiting outside our bedroom door each morning was a nice touch.

The afternoon snacks of wine and nibbles including cheese, fruit and crudites was very much appreciated and it was nice to have the opportunity to speak to other guests

We found the breakast in the warm dining room which had a real log fire burning very welcoming and different to the usual continental breakfast we had elsewhere. Travelling from England some of the breakfast choices were unusual i.e. French Toast (which reminded us on bread and butter pudding) with sausages and fresh fruit at dusted with icing sugar but we enjoyed eating it. On the day that my boyfriend didn't fancy the Monterey Jacks he was given an appropriate alternative. I'm sure that the Inn would be more than willing to provide vegetarian and vegan options if they were given notice. The binoculars were a nice touch as we were able to watch the harobour seals and sea otters

We met Mr Martine and found him very friendly and personable, indeed without exception all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Patti and Pete were very helpful in giving us advice on the best time to visit the aquarium (incidently you can buy tickets from the Inn which saves waiting in the extremely long queues), good places to eat and the best road out of Monterey when we were looking for Highway One.

We left for five days travelling on a motorbike and returned to the Martine for one night before heading for Yosemite. When we arrived back we were given a warm welcome, indeed even with hugs from Patti and Anne Ross and asked where we had been and what we had done and seen. Patti and Pete suggested we would enjoy seeing the Feast of Lanterns firework display that evening which we we unaware of and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

The free internet access was used by us in keeping a check on our e-mails and we found Mr Martine's racing memorabilia really interesting.

When we left we were given a goody bag containing some very usefull items including a book containing details of similar inns throughout America which I thought was very useful as well as bottled water, some tolietries and notelets which I thought were a nice touch.

Loved the afternoon wine and snacks, of course. Very friendly service, excellent food in a very Victorian styled inn. We stayed in one of the more affordable rooms and it was very nice. If you haven't been to Pacific Grove lately, we highly recommend this inn and location.
