Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Hotel Pacific

Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good
"The room was next to the road so you can all the noise from the outside. I’m glad I brought my earplugs or it would have been an incredibly shtty night Staff was meh; did the bare minimum. A little bit disappointed how I had to ask multiple questions in order for them to help me store my temp-sensitive medicine - she was not helpful at all. No air conditioning which is fine - but they could have offered a fan. I did not know we could request a fan until I read reviews of the property. They could have given us that option upon checking in. We never tried the breakfast - I read it was meh. The least they could do was provide hotel slippers - do they expect guests to walk around the bathroom with shoes on? How about the living room and bedroom area? Disposable slippers should be the bare minimum"

8/10 Good
"I knew that this was a 'budget friendly' hotel. It was no frills as expected, but clean and comfortable. There is little sound supression from the overhead room which was noticeable, but once they quieted down, there was no problem. Please note that they add a $100 'deposit' to one's credit card which I was not expecting. I assume that will be refunded right away in my case. The motel was in a quiet and safe neighborhood very close to Monterey, which was great."
