This place is fantastic! We were blown away from the second we arrived from the kindness of the staff and top flight service. The location is excellent a couple blocks from the beach and a very easy walk. The aquarium is a 20 minute walk away. Pacific Grove is quieter than Monterey and Carmel so we definitely love that as well. Special shout-out to Depeche and the rest of the crew in valet! Those guys really do a great job and are part of an overall amazing service team to include the front desk staff, and restaurant staff. We will definitely be coming back here, as we love this place. If you are thinking about staying here, we would definitely recommend it, as you will not be disappointed. The fireplace in the courtyard is perfect for cooler ocean evenings. Thank you, Kimpton Mirador staff for making our experience and stay so pleasant and enjoyable!
