The hospitality here was outstanding! Excellent B&B atmosphere, with a wine hour in the main house as well as evening pastries. Breakfast options were delicious and included some gluten-free options as well. On street parking was easy and scenery beautiful! 10/10 Will definitely stay here again!

Lovely boutique hotel with a great location and incredible views of Monterey bay. Beautiful design everywhere, from the lovely gardens to the lobby and rooms. You notice the high attention to detail in every corner. Excellent service too, from the receptionist at the check-in counter to the breakfast and cleaning staff. I would love to return for a longer stay soon.

Unfortunately, the fireplace didn’t work and the bed was uncomfortable. But other than that, it was amazing. Definitely going back but with our own pillows.

The Seven Gables Inn pills out all the stops to make their guests feel welcome and comfortable. The property is absolutely beautiful, and to be able to sit in the lobby and watch sea otters, seals, sea lions and other wildlife is pretty special. It’s a short walk to restaurants and the spectacular Monterey Bay Aquarium, and a quick and lovely drive or bike ride through 17 Mile Road to Carmel. Absolutely lovely place to stay - felt five stars all the way!

Heaven on Earth
My wife and I have stayed in great hotels and B&B's all over world for decades and our experience at Seven Gables Inn was absolutely one of the best.
The Cypress Room was a thing out of a dream. Staff was all VERY welcoming and helpful.
Highly recomend. Not sure how anyone could be let down
