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.

Stayed in a standard room on the left side of the first fairway, first floor. The room was superior in every way, reflective of the price. Unlike some others, full room cleaning and turn down every day. Lots of sitting area including a patio. Pillows, towels, sheets, everything wonderful. Snacks and water bottles aplenty and included. Short walk to the Pebble shops and the restaurants in the Lodge, not to mention the first tee, makes this very convenient. Played Spyglass twice, a 5 minute drive or van ride and the great Pebble driving range is 2 minutes away. Loved dinner at the Tap Room, The Bench not so much. Also enjoyed the bag pipes at Spanish Bay and dinner at Sticks (very casual in the clubhouse).

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 location is great with stunning views. The hotel is too casual for my liking and I expected something completely different. The Bench restaurant is a disaster i.e. Spring break meets trailer park. For a hotel of this category and this price level (north of 1500 USD per night) this is totally unacceptable to me. It was a mistake to come here

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.

this "hotel", which both is and isn't is of that rare breed of lodging that makes one feel at home. literally. if you have ever had the occasion and opportunity to be a guest in a better home, The Lodge at Pebble Beach will remind you of that kind of experience. every interaction with staff gave one the feeling they were being attended to by an old family equerry. there was nothing corporate about the experience. at no time did i feel i was being subjected to some "standard operating procedure" or employee's manual. the rooms, even the modest ones, are palatial, for what they are. high ceiling and sprawling floorspace make for an en-suite guestroom in a mansion, sort of vibe. room service. the food arrived hot, even though the kitchen was a few hundred yards away and it was raining, cold and windy. the concierge. a more affable exchange can not be had. the bar. i asked that the bartender prepare an obnoxiously off-the-menu cocktail and he did it, without thinking about it. without hesitation. and not with any complaining or exasperated vibe, either. the people at the front desk kind of put you in the mind of a fuzzy episode of the TV Series "Hotel" in the way they tendered the keenest and intentional care to every word that comes from your mouth. at every turn i was confronted with nicety, service, and warmth. i'll be back. thank you, Lodge!
