The hotel is very nicely decorated with antiques by the owners. The rooms are very confortable.
Breakfast is served between 8.30 and 9.30. We enjoyed our stay at The Jabberwock and would highly recommend it.

Rick, Suzanne, and Dorothy consistently went above and beyond on our 3-night stay. The home and grounds are overflowing with curated character in every nook and cranny. Waking up to look out our room’s windows as the sun first peeked over the Gabilan Mountains and lit up the sky over Monterey Bay will be a lasting memory. Breakfasts and happy hours in the sunroom were top-notch (especially the award-winning Jabber Juice). We met interesting people and had great conversations - we even returned home with art and unique coffee mugs as well! We will definitely be back.

We spent 5 nights at the Inn in the Brillig Room with a lovely sunrise view of the Bay. The room and the Inn are full of thoughtful touches from water (and brandy for a nightcap if you like) in the room, to coffee and tea and cookies in the sun porch. The breakfasts are not to be missed and also add great value to your room rate. If you happen to be back at the Inn before dinner, enjoying a glass of wine and light appetizers with other guests on the sun porch is a pleasant late afternoon break. Restaurants are plentiful within walking distance or a short drive, and free parking is another nice perk. Rick, Suzanne and Dorothy are all pleasant and accommodating, and their restaurant and itinerary recommendations were all very helpful. Highly recommend the Inn when staying in the area. It was the perfect home base for not only Monterey itself, but also for exploring Big Sur and Carmel. For those not used to older (turn of the century) homes, you will hear footsteps from the room above or voices in the hallway but we found all the guests during our stay to be considerate so noise was not a concern.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The Jabberwikkinn, within walking distance of Cannery Row, conveys a wonderland feel with a warm welcome, perfect service, outstanding hors d'oeuvres, and an exceptional breakfast. An extraordinary, endearing style, also embodied by the owners and staff. I've rarely experienced such a "wonderland stay." Perfectly wonderful. Many thanks from Germany.

This is the real deal! How many B&B's have you visited in recent years that still offer a served hot breakfast, afternoon tea and cookies, evening wine and appetizers, a stash of bottled water, soda, and juice, and a nightcap all included in the room rate? Add charm, elegance, cleanliness, spacious grounds and common rooms, easy parking, a warm welcome, and impeccable service to the list. Rick, Suzanne, and staff have thought of every little detail to make your stay comfortable and memorable. (Nope, you won't have to sacrifice a lamp to charge your phone.) I must also mention the proximity to Cannery Row - just a few blocks away. Some may not wish to tackle walking up the hill, but with all the goodies, you need to work off a couple extra calories. We treated ourselves to the Borogove room which provided a lovely sitting area with fantastic bay view and a cozy fire. Yes, there are a few squeaky floor boards, but what do you expect from a house that's 114 years old? Sit back, relax, and enjoy life!

We have fallen in love with the Jabberwock Inn. Rick (owner) & Dorothy (innkeeper) were wonderful hosts. They were so accommodating & kind. We were trying to make for hor’doeuvres & wine on Friday (5-6p). We ran into some traffic, so Dorothy placed it all in our room for us to enjoy when we arrived. All of the food was amazing. The care & attention that is provided is over-the-top the best! And to top it all off we were visited by several black tailed deer. The main space is a great place to sit & relax. We truly enjoyed our stay.

The Jabberwock Inn is situated is a residential neighborhood within walking distance to shopping, many fine restaurants, the Monterrey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. We were warmly greeted by Dorothy who remembered us from our previous visit. The owners Rick and Suzanne have created a warm and comfortable atmosphere in their restored Craftsman B&B with 8 individual rooms that fit the different needs of their guests. Wine and hor d'eouvres are offered in the evenings. There are also cookies, bottled water and soft drinks available as well as an early morning pot of fresh hot coffee for those early morning risers. For breakfast, Suzanne took the time to describe our delicious breakfast, which she personally served in their bright and sunny breakfast room with relaxing views overlooking their expansive garden. We appreciate the efforts and attention to detail that Rick and Suzanne have taken to ensure a cozy home base where their guests can relax and enjoy Pacific Grove, Monterrey, Carmel and Big Sur. Thank you for another wonderful time and we are already looking forward to our next visit to the Jabberwock Inn.

We loved our stay at the Jabberwock! Breakfast and hors d’oeuvres were delicious, the inn is beautiful, and we loved our room (Mimsy) and its view of the bay. The inn is in a great location, perfect for walking anywhere in Monterey. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night visit to The Jabberwock Inn. This is a beautifully restored 1911 Craftsman cottage centrally located in Monterey close to everything one would want in Monterey. The Inn is filled with beautiful Quarter sawn oak furniture that gives it a very homey atmosphere. Rick, Suzanne and Dorothy were great hosts and were very informative about everything related to the Inn as well as surrounding restaurants and wineries to visit. Breakfasts and evening wine and snacks were all freshly prepared and presented. We highly recommend this B&B and will stay here again on our next trip to Monterey. Thanks for a great experience!
