Wonderful Historical Beach Hotel

This spot is beyond amazing. Tucked away in the dunes with a woodsy area. The beach is a 5 minute walk from the room. The hotel grounds are large and beautiful. The weather was lovely while staying there as well. The hotel was like you were almost camping. My partner and I came out for a weekender get away to unplug and relax & boy was this the perfect spot to come to for that. The whole way home all we talked about together is how we wanted to come right back and that we cannot wait to plan our next trip. The staff was kind and there are so many amenities (just minus TVs ;p).

I really enjoyed staying here. It has gorgeous views and the employees are very nice and attentive. If you need to get around the grounds, they provide transportation via golf carts that come in very handy. The inside of the hotel rooms need upgrades desperately. The rooms do not have phones, TVs, or mini refrigerators. The wifi is very slow in the Windward area so you better hope you have good reception in case you need to call the concierge.

Needs an update

We had to change rooms because the first one we were assigned was in rough shape. In both rooms, all the furniture, carpet, appliances, everything looks like it hasnt been updated since the early '90s. The first room had ants and a terrible smell. The second room had a heater that wouldnt turn off, no matter what we did with the thermostat. Water pressure was good though, and there was only a small amount of mildew in the bathrooms. The walls are thin, so we could hear our neighbors and people outside. The plumbing also made a lot of noise. Outside of the room, the grounds are fantastic. There was a deer outside our window in the morning. The walk to the beach was great. The fire pit was awesome.

I started to come to Asilomar Conference Grounds about 30 years ago. I’ve come to stay many times for both business and personal purposes. It is really sad to witness this wonderfully located place has been running done literally by the contractor, Aramark! Now the facility is poorly maintained. The room is dirty. The bathroom is not properly cleaned. The grouts are black in the shower tub. The knobs of drawers are missing or loose. The window screens are all broken. The water coming out of the sink faucets is ridiculous low like dripping…I wish the management improve the grounds significantly soon.

Couldn't wait to leave!

Whilst I can appreciate the history of this place, it certainly didn't make up for the poor standard of accommodation. We are a family of five and whilst there was plenty of room for us, the room was dated, the plumbing very poor, the furniture and carpets very tatty, dimly lit and it was absolutely filthy! Being in such a beautiful part of nature, I can understand the lack of a television in the room but there was no hairdryer, phone or coffee machine. Touches that make a hotel stay comfortable, were almost completely absent. I did manage to get hold of a hairdryer and a coffee machine, by asking at reception. The lady on reception wasn't particularly helpful or welcoming though. The location of the property was brilliant and we we explored the coastline of Monterey and Carmel from here and could walk to the beach. This property was designed, historically, to be a YWCA. Only book if you are prepared for a hostel experience. They are charging hotel prices (we paid over $200 per night) for what is essentially still a hostel. Such a shame as the place has the potential to be so much more. There is a pool and games room but we didnt want to spend much time here and so I can't comment on those aspects.

Asilomar is a magnificent eelcoming place to stay near gorgeous beaches and staye parks and reserves. The history of being founded in the early 20th century as a YWCA, the first women's campgrounds adds to the pleasure of pur stay. The opposite of a generic, commercial enterprse. I loved it and will return again!
