The Jabberwock Bed & Breakfast

Thank you, TripAdvisor, for leading us to this wonderful inn! Based on the recommendations of others, we chose this for a 2-night stay with our 22-year old son. Perfect! Great location and the inkeepers, Suzanne and Rick, know hospitality! We stayed I. The magnificent Tum Tum Tree room - loved it. Breakfasts are outstanding. Wine and hors d'oeuvres just perfect. For me, the recommendations from Suzanne & Rick on what to do/where to eat were spot on! Leaving tomorrow and guess what? We'd like to stay!

This place is totally charming. I stayed in the Brillig Room (queen bed, fireplace) while I was in town for a conference that is always in Monterey and I have already booked the same room for next year. In the past, I have enjoyed the Monterey Plaza, but this is so much more cozy and comfortable and the views of the ocean from lying in my bed were incredible. Easy and plentiful onsite parking were a plus for me. It was walking distance from an event at the Aquarium. The staff who greeted me and with whom I infrequently interacted during my stay were great. I was only able to have breakfast once, but that was nice, with an apple croissant and a round frittata-like entree. Really good coffee was available at 7:15 a.m. on. Fresh cookies always available, plus free sodas. I didn’t get a chance to go to their happy hour.

Wow. What a lovely B&B. So full of charm. Location is excellent. Close enough to everything but far enough to relax and enjoy the beautiful grounds without the noise from the crowds. Suzanne, Rick, and Donna were the most gracious hosts. They helped us with meal and trip planning. The breakfasts were delicious. Happy hour was so relaxing and getting to meet the other guests was so nice. If you are going to be in Monterey, this is definitely the place to stay.

The inn is beautiful in every detail. Feeling tired, worn, in need of a quiet refuge? Look no further. Sipping tea in the wrap-around porch, watching the birds fly by, then walking downtown to Monterey to dine, visit the aquarium, or shop, is a lovely way to spend a vacation. The food is superb. We feel restored from our visit, and will definitely make it a point to return.

We were two couples who stayed at The Jabberwock Inn for 3 nights. The location is on a quiet street with easy parking and the Innkeepers certainly care about their guests. The building and interior decor is interesting and historical with a touch of fun, the breakfasts and Happy Hour are delicious, and the location provides easy access to restaurants, the Aquarium, walking destinations. The rooms are upstairs and each one is different.

My husband and I stayed here two nights and it was delightful. The hosts are personable, helpful with information about hiking, restaurants and things to do and they are enthusiastic stewards of the property and respect its history. The house is a gorgeous Craftsman style building and staying in it feels like staying in a historic mansion, with its wide dark woodwork, fireplaces (propane, and it was usable), and old fashioned crank-out windows. Breakfasts were excellent and substantial, and the hosts provided very nice wine and appetizers for an hour each evening. The inn is within walking distance of the busy part of Monterey but it is in a quiet residential neighborhood. I highly recommend this inn to anyone.

We stayed there for three nights last month. We were beyond pleased with our stay. Our room was clean, cozy and comfortable. The owners and staff could not have been more courteous and helpful. The breakfast each morning was delicious and hearty and we thoroughly enjoyed the wine and hors d'oeuvres served each evening. The grounds were gorgeous and the Alice In Wonderland/Jabberwocky vibe inside was amazing. We highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

This is an excellent B&B. Owners and staff are all so very charming and accomodating. Whimsical, historical, comfortable place to stay. Evening wine and morning breakfast were done expertly. Be aware the third floor rooms are small, which put off another reviewer, however we were aware going in. Best B&B we've ever visited.

Kaloo Kaley what a Fraptuous Day (and night) I had at this wonderful, charming inn. Rick and Suzanne were -more- than accommodating and this house is just beautiful craftsman style. Everywhere there are touches to embellish the Lewis Caroll Theme from the names of the rooms to the ornaments and books on walls and stairs. One will find everything from the Jub Jub Bird to the White Rabbit and NO Queen of Hearts in sight. I stayed overnight a week or so ago to attend the Monterey Bay Aquarium Member's Night and I found this place looking around. I fell in love with the name and the decor as I am a HUGE fan of the Craftsman style. As a writer I wanted something that would inspire me and this was the place. I was also pleasantly surprised to find bits and bobs to acknowledge the resident writers of Monterey, Steinbeck and Lewis Stevenson respectively. Meals were very good, the appetizer I had in the evening was nice and I could walk right downtown to enjoy sushi at "Crystal Fish" which the owners themselves enjoy. The gardens of the house were gorgeous, and it was a nice little treat to see the resident deer of Monterey munching happily next to the fountain. The other guests seemed in good spirits and if I didn't have the event to go to I would have stayed and enjoyed some talk with them. Breakfast was delicious as well a sort of croissant with a sweet sauce, sausage and "Jub Juice?" (Please forgive me Suzanne I may have misremembered it.) I was also pleased to hear the story of the house and though told it twice I have the worst memory on Earth or I would regale everyone with what I know. It was a warm evening and being on the upper floors, I was very thankful for a window, and such a house cannot easily be air conditioned. My only other concern was trying to not get too hot water in the shower, but in an old house that's a given. A little nip and tuck, a tiny bit of luck and I got it going just fine. It will be my pleasure to stay there again.
