Yes, the Inn is pet friendly. The staff was exceptional. Got there at 9:30 am with a 4:00 check in time. We went in just to ask if we could park our car early since everything was within walking distance of the Aquarium and Cannery Row. We had a lot of stuff in our car and didn't want to park it on the street if possible. A very friendly girl working the front desk said that we not only could park in the garage, but that we could check in, our room was ready. That alone sold us on the place. The room was great, with a gas fireplace, which was a nice touch, and a balcony with a view to a nice courtyard with chairs and a table. The room was big, and clean, with everything you need with the exception of a microwave. We didn't need that so that was fine. The morning breakfast was more than plentiful. The proximity to everything was perfect. We hiked at Point Lobos which was a twenty minute drive away, and beached it at Carmel beach, also a short drive. All in all a perfect weekend. I would highly recommend the Victorian Inn. Price was also among the lowest that we looked at. I would give the place a 10/10.
