"The room was very clean. Beds were very comfortable. Pillows could be better too soft!!! Excellent cleaning staff. Check in was simple and easy on line. Check out was even easier. Inside swimming pool was a winner. Hot spa was very hot and relaxing!!! Over all stay was excellent!!!"
"This is one of our family favorite hotels. The covered pool is open year round. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well insulated so that we don't hear neighbors. The hotel staff are very nice. This year, we accidentally booked the hotel during the Monterey County Fair and enjoyed walking across the street and into the happy chaos of funnel cakes and carnival rides. "
"Monterey Hotel and Spa was great. We had a very peaceful and relaxing time. Loved that we could walk to town and restaurants. Many things to see and do."
"We were pleased from the minute we walked in the door of Room 112. Check-in was a breeze with a very friendly young man who was very courteous, constant smile, and those important words: " if you need ANYTHING, please call me". The property, and our room especially, appeared to have been remodeled in the last year or two. Walls were spotless, flat-screen tv with the Dish network, a very comfortable bed, and a microwave and refrigerator (a must for my one medication). We would highly recommend Pacific Inn to all of our friends."
"Hotel was nice and friendly guy at front desk but the ground was absolutely disgusting my feet were completely black after a couple steps…but I would stay here again as long as the floors were cleaned lol. Everything else very nice👍 "
