Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Hotel Pacific

Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good
"The layout of this hotel makes it hard to find the ice machines and breakfast room. During our 3 night stay, we continually got lost finding our room. Parking for 3 nights was a whopping $76.65 ($22/night + tax). Doing the math, parking added 16% to the cost of our stay. Parking in the downtown Monterey garage is $10 max per day which is about 3 blocks away. Breakfast was good. Be forewarned that the hotel has no air conditioning and windows and patios have no screens which made it impossible to leave them open to cool off the room without inviting flying critters into our room. Staff brought us a box fan which was helpful. Room itself was extremely spacious and nicely appointed. Bed was comfortable."
