Hotel Pacific

4/10 Poor

"Hotel is older and a bit run down. The sliding door in our room did not work. No air conditioning and could not open doors or windows on first floor room because of noise from street. Could hear everything upstairs above us at 1 AM! Pretty disappointed with the stay and the hotel. Staff was not the most welcoming."

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Housekeeping didn't do a good job of cleaning our room. She never changed our sheets, we had spilled something the previous night and the stains were still on the sheets the following day after Housekeeping finished. Also there was no shower gel in the dispenser, it was empty, after calling the front desk, they bring a bar of soap instead. Agreed to give a discout but ipon check out the manager wasn't there."

Pine Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel close to shops and beach. They have their own parking lot which is a plus. Staff were fabulous. Rooms are nice, clean. Connected to Il Fornaio restaurant which is convenient. Food was good, restaurant staff also great. Advertised breakfast starts at 730 but didn’t open until almost 8. Wish the property offered complimentary coffee in lobby available before 730a. No fridge in room, no coffee machine in room, really no amenities. Heat in room is via radiator, loud at times if turned up. Would stay again."
