Hotel Pacific

A very enjoyable holiday

It was probably a nice place before. Seems a bit run down now.

I was lucky and got the last room here on busy Memorial Day weekend :) I really enjoyed my stay here. Staff was very friendly and responsive to my concerns, particularly Ana and Aman! The room was very cozy and felt like home. Mine was just above a quiet street and sitting with a book by a roaring fireplace and on a balcony was exactly what I needed to recharge. The location was perfect for me, close to the marina and beach and only 4 minutes to Cannery Row by car. Old Monterey has some neat cafés and shops all around too. Breakfast was very complete! It varied the two days I was there, with items like muffins, bagels, cereal, yogurt, eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes... And coffee, juices, and teas. It was better than I expected after reading a couple of reviews here. Also, there are bikes that you can rent on-site at the hotel with a card. Helmets and locks are provided in the lobby, but I did not have time to try them :) Convenient to be able to grab these right from the hotel. Hopefully I will try them next time! Only small thing I might note is that the room was not totally soundproof and that might be an issue for some. I noticed a bit late that my window was slightly open. Once I closed it, there was a bit less noise, but something to note if you really need quiet. Hope to be back again soon! Loved my stay here and big shoutout to the whole staff.

This was one of my best hotel experiences. I didn't have a reservation and took a chance. I'm so glad I did! From the era on at the desk to the rest of the staff, top-notch service. The room was spotless and the bed was dreamy. The fireplace just topped the experience off! Will definitely be back to spend multiple days! Oh yeah, being able to walk everywhere I wanted...bonus! Thank you! ♥️

A very old hotel; the elevator doesn't work, and everything is about 20 years out of date. Parking costs extra. It is not worth the money—you’d be better off looking for something else.

Amenities: - Breakfast: Much left to be desired. The options were minimal, especially if you have any dietary restrictions. Instant oatmeal, yogurt, muffins, bagels, eggs, sausage, and potatoes. However, the hot food was almost always scraped through with only measly bits left for the "late" breakfast crew. The staff did not consistently refill the plate of eggs or potatoes. Additionally, I found my muffin to have mold on it. When I voiced my concern to breakfast staff, they explained that these were just seeds in the muffin. Together, we looked at the rest of the muffins and found clear signs of fluffy mold on several of them. Ultimately, for the price of the hotel stay that boasts of a generous breakfast offering, we were very disappointed. - The hotel seemed a bit run-down in general. One of the ice machines was out of service and the other seemed dirty. Only one of the spas was in service and the jet bubbles were not working. Rooms: - Our room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The bed and pillows allowed for a full night's rest. The shower water was hot and plentiful. Service: - The customer service staff members were hospitable and accommodating. Location: - Walking distance to down town Monterey and the beach Ultimately, we would likely pick another place to stay that is more affordable and higher quality in terms of breakfast and other amenities.
