The Jabberwock Bed & Breakfast

Rick, Suzanne, Dorothy and Ruth were all great. I have never had such a personal feeling experience at anywhere that I have stayed before. Rick and Suzanne knew my name and called me by it every day. Breakfast was excellent from the stuffed french toast to the Phantasmagoria to the wonderful Jabber Juice, everything was perfect. I did not join for the wine and hours dourves but was checked on every evening by Dorothy to see if I was going to join to make sure that there was still time. All in all a great stay and I am looking forward to coming back again in the near future.

Nothing, I loved it!

Peaceful gardens and water fountain to just sip tea, read the local paper and relax as a family of deer makes good use of the pond and foliage. Main house views are amazing as well as the Staff (Especially Dorothy)Knowledgeable and very helpful for dining suggestions or travel destinations. Start your day 8-9am, Pick a table for a Wonderfull breakfast, then out for your adventures. 5 min walk to Cannery row and most restaurants. Come back by 5-6pm to enjoy the tasteful selection of wine and appetizers nightly. Another 5 min stroll for Dinner, then back to the property to enjoy the views before retiring to Bed which was very comfortable! Great Couples retreat!!

Giving my room keys back to (Rick)the owner!

We liked everything about this place! We came for just one night to celebrate our 34th anniversary and I wish we had stayed more nights. In an area where hospitality services have to be exceptional because there is so much competition on every block, The Jabberwock really goes over and above in excellence in every way. The owners and their staff, esp. Dorothy, are extremely welcoming, hospitable, and engaging. The facilities are convenient to Monterey, being a couple of streets up from Cannery Row but is not so close that you feel like you're in the hubbub. The house is beautiful and well-kept; our room was beautiful and had a great view of the bay (we stayed in Brillig); the bed was very comfortable; the breakfast was amazing, and the wine and hors-d'oeuvres hour the night we came in was an added bonus. It's a community style arrangement, so chances are good you'll be interacting at least somewhat with other guests, but it wasn't in your face and there are places to be by yourself as well if you don't feel like interacting. We will definitely be back as this is our new favorite place for special occasions, and we will be recommending this to all our friends in San Jose (and those that come from out of state too). 😊

We liked everything!

The owners and staff were so gracious and attentive and provided a homey welcoming feeling. Breakfasts were scrumptious! This unique home is a beautiful old Craftsman style full of all things Alice and Wonderland.

We did not book early so got a tiny attic room, though there are many lovely larger rooms here with more amenities. We felt Booking likely overcharged on this room.

Lovely craftsman style home with period furniture and William Morris style wallpaper along with adorable whimsical touches. early evening hors d’oeuvres and wine were a lovely way for guests to meet. Breakfast was amazing! Close to Monterey attractions including the Aquarium and Fisherman’s Wharf. The owners were warm and welcoming, and that was true for all other staff as well. As a solo traveler, I felt totally safe. Would return to The Jabberwock in a heartbeat for my next trip to Monterey.

it was all excellent! Nothing not to like!

The Breakfasts were delicious. We especially loved the special juices and the afternoon snacks/drinks. We liked how close to the aquarium and all the shops this B&B are. The keeper and owners were always kind and very helpful on pointing out key sights to visit. They even had a vast array of menus from all the restaurants in the vicinity. Bocce ball and chess/checkers setting out ready too go play was fun too.

The breakfast was similar to what we have had at other B&B’s with bread pudding and quiche . Would have liked a bit of a different option but it wasn’t horrible. TV in the room would have been nice but again with technology we had Netflix on our phones and free Wi-Fi there really wasn’t an issue.

All the food was great! Dorothy & Rick were incredibly friendly and accommodating, also the garden around the house was incredible!

Didn't realize when booking that the bathroom wasn't connected to our room - but it was private so it was fine. Could have been that I missed it, or may need to be a little more obvious in posting

Rick, Suzanne and Dorothy couldn’t have been more welcoming. Suzanne’s passion for the inn, it’s history, maintaining integrity of its mission was so engaging. Rick’s easy personality makes everyone feel at home and Dorothy is warm and so capable of making us comfortable and in awe of our yummy breakfasts and wine hour. I cannot wait to return!

The cookies…🙁… so dry and old-tasting.

This is a once in a lifetime find of unique, boutique BnB. I found the Jabberwock Inn fabulous in every way. This Inn is run with a professional flair that imparts a fantasy of comfort, charm, welcome and whimsy. We stayed in the Tumtum Tree cottage which was large and accommodating. Travelers tired of hotels will find this wonderful inn an unforgettable experience.

Lots of stairs, but well worth it.

Old Victorian house, everything was quaint but beautiful. Based on Alice in Wonderland. Very nice people willing to do anything you asked. Delicious breakfast and appetizers for happy hour.

Our room was small with no closet. Fairly expensive but it was a holiday weekend.
