Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Hotel Pacific

Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our junior suite with two double beds, a sofa that I believe is a sofa-bed, but we didn’t use it for a bed. So I can’t say if it was comfortable or not. It was nice to have a sitting area with a fireplace to relax and watch TV in the evenings after a long day of activities at Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, and Fisherman's Wharf. The hotel is walking distance to all of these locations including Alvarado Street with many restaurants and shops all nearby. We ate most of our dinners overlooking the water and boats from the wharf’s view. The hotel provided a continental breakfast each morning which included scrambled eggs and potatoes. It was just okay. Probably best to get there early when the food is fresh and hot. We will certainly stay again! It was a nice hotel! Perfect location!"
