Lodge at Pebble Beach

Meh. The view is stunning, the hotel rooms themselves are not. Plain, uninspired, no real luxury to speak of in terms of the decor or fixtures. Restaurants like Tap Room, The Bench, Stillwater Cove have menus that haven't been updated completely in years, mediocre quality food, (michelin quality cooking and baking it is not) and incredibly high prices. The value simply isn't there. Beware - there is construction expected at the various restaurants between Feb to Nov 2025 . It maybe even go past that projected November date, as when is a construction project ever finished on time? Expect that noise around those various areas disturbing your sleep or waking you or distracting from what should otherwise have been a quiet morning on vacation in your expensive hotel room. Think numerous vehicles and construction related equipment starting at about 7:00 a.m. after they let them through the gates and they are around the entire Lodge area, the stinky smell of gas and diesel exhaust, and loud beeping noises when they back up. Then starting at 8:00 a.m. expect the loud noise of construction demo and rebuild until possibly 6:00 p.m at night. Noise also travels, so even if your room isn't immediately adjacent, you may very well be disturbed with the noise as well as any possible dust/dirt in some areas near where they are working. The Lodge prices are unlikely to come down to mitigate for this inconvenience, so just be aware you're going to pay a lot to be in the midst of a construction area.

Lodge is very dated for what you pay. Bathrooms especially need a major retail. The carpeting also in the lodge rooms is disgusting. Out shower was stocked with double conditioners and I was soaked. It took over 30 minutes to get shampoo. We did not get a King Room but it was requested.

The property is spectacular but it's not the location alone that makes it so special. The hotel is beautiful inside and out. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The food is delicious. And we loved the swimming pool and facilities, amazing views from a full sized pool.
