    The food was fantastic. Just crazy fantastic. Their berry crepes are the best. Dawn and John were excellent hosts! The inn is fascinating with every nook and cranny has something interesting going on. Also, the sherry was the perfect addition. The Inn is a short walk from Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, beaches, whale watching and food We had a fantastic time and have recommended it to our friends.

    Wow! Everything we could have hoped for - and more...

    The Jabberwock is an absolutely beautiful, warm, welcoming place to stay. The old style architecture is awesome. There are 7 rooms that are priced according to size and the amenities in each room. This was a last minute reservation for my husband and so we had one of the smaller rooms, the Wabe, but it turned out to be perfect for us, it was very nice and quaint. There is also brandy in your room, for a night cap if you like, which we did :-) There are so many details I could go on and on...John and Dawn personally welcome you and give you a tour of the place, and are always available to answer any question, give advice on what to do in the area, or just entertain you with their conversation. They have a nightly happy hour with amazing appetizers and fun meeting other guests. They also will make your dining reservations for you, which was nice and turned out to be a savings, as the restaurant we went to waived our $25 corkage fee since they have a great relationship with Dawn & John. Breakfast was delicious as well with fun, fanciful names. And you will not go away hungry as the food is so good you just want to eat more! All of the Jabberwocky/Alice in Wonderland accents were fun details to search out and discover. The garden is also fabulous, complete with a Bocce Ball court, which we had a chance to play on with another couple staying there. It's only a few blocks from Cannery Row, so you can definitely walk to dinner and not worry about having to drive or park your car. We absolutely loved everything about the Jabberwock, and John & Dawn. I would recommend staying here if you have the chance and are looking for a wonderful experience. We've told everyone we know about it and plan on coming back soon!

    GREAT B&B!!

    My husband and I just returned from a three-week vacation and with all the places we stayed at, the Jabberwork Inn was the BEST!!! John and Dawn are amazing innkeepers - we really enjoyed visiting with them and the other guests. We really feel like we made lifelong friends at the Inn. John and Dawn are welcoming, generous and courteous!! Breakfast with Jabber juice is one that we will not soon forget. They added some special touches to our B&B experience that we cannot wait to get back there!!

    My husband and I received as a gift for our anniversary a two-night stay at Jabberwock Inn, so I can not really review the value of this Bed and Breakfast, but I can tell you we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. John and Dawn were excellent hosts and made sure that our stay was perfect. The breakfasts we had were incredible, as were the appetizers and wine that were available in the evenings. Our room was large and comfortable, and the Jacuzzi tub was a great way to relax after a day of golf. We would definitely return if we stay in Monterey again!

    We had a wonderful stay at The Jabberwock Inn. Neither of us had stayed at a B&B before so we weren't sure what to expect. Dawn and John were great hosts. I had requested a gluten free option for breakfast which was no problem at all. The Mimsy had a lovely view and was just the right size for a couple nights. The inn is within walking distance of Cannery Row and the aquarium so we never even had to move the car once we parked it in front of the inn. Appetizers and wine in the evening was a relaxing way to meet some of the others staying at the inn which made breakfast conversation much easier. (Small talk in the morning with strangers doesn't come easy for me). I would recommend The Jabberwock Inn to anyone heading to Monterey.
