Hotel Pacific is perfectly situated in downtown Monterey, just a short walk from Fisherman’s Wharf, great restaurants, and whale watching tours—ideal for exploring without needing a car everywhere.
We stayed in a Junior Suite, which was very spacious with nice touches like a private outdoor patio, cozy fireplace (perfect for a romantic evening), bar sink, mini fridge, and microwave—super convenient for longer stays.
The decor feels a bit dated, and there’s no air conditioning (just radiant heaters), so the room can get stuffy— we kept the windows open for breeze, which worked fine. The bed was decently comfortable, though the pillows were on the thin side.
Staff were professional and courteous throughout our stay. The free continental breakfast is simple but gets the job done—mostly cold items with a few warm options.
One heads-up: The underground garage has very tight parking spots, so it can be a bit challenging if you have a larger vehicle.
Overall, for the price (noticeably lower than many comparable spots in the area), it’s a solid choice with charm and prime location. We’d stay again for a Monterey getaway!
