We never went to The Pacific!! We got a text from Expedia telling us the Pacific was closed due to renovations and we were booked at Motel 6 Chula Vista. We paid $50. to take us there only to find out we did not have a reservation. So Expedia has our $274. and we have no accommodations. We rebooked through Expedia and Paid again We are now at Town and Country Resort

This place is definitely not worth how much they charge. The room stinks and the bed is terrible. Upon check in we witnessed someone trying to check in but was given the wrong room. Management was unprofessional and berated the customer that they had booked under a third party and handed them a half deflated mattress. We were informed that Peking was an extra charge for this specific weekend because of a “blackout date”. We only spent a few hours here until we had enough. We happily packed up and went to another location. I would never recommend this place.

Disappointing.

Our room was quite dirty, the carpet was very noticeably crusty and dirty. The lamp in the room was missing the shade and the bathtub required cleaning as there was dirt and stains in the shower. The pool was quite nice and the bed was comfortable but I’m not sure why so many hotels skimp on the pillows. Overall I wouldn’t stay again as I was schedule to stay for a few nights but after arriving to the hotel I had to make other arrangements. The hotel has a similar pricing to other hotels in the area but the quality is no where close. I understand it’s a budget hotel/motel but that doesn’t mean you can’t maintain basic hygiene.

Cockroaches! and rude staff at front desk

Jasmine at the front desk acted completely annoyed by everyone and everything and seemed to hate her job. She made it abundantly clear to each guest that she took zero joy in serving them. Everyone was an inconvenience to her. The place is dirty and completely unrepresentative of the photos on line. I witnessed her being rude to people calling in, and hanging up on them. The person in line in front of me was cancelling her room due to three large cockroaches in her bathtub. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to stay anywhere else but here. My husband’s comment was “not even when I was young and broke would I even have stayed here on a guys trip” and “I don’t care if you have to pay to get us out of this. We’re leaving.” The hotel should not be allowed to use the photos they have on line because the rooms do NOT look like the photos AT ALL. They look like scenes from movies, where only bad things happen.

The room seemed fine until we noticed tiny cockroaches scurrying around the room and bathroom. My sister woke me up at 3am because she saw them in the bathroom. We had to sleep with the lights and TV on hoping they wouldn't crawl on us or infest our luggage.

Spend an extra $50 and stay somewhere else.

Horrible! The man at the front desk was not friendly at all. He immediately seemed bothered when I first came to the desk. He was slamming things and made me feel very uncomfortable. The A/C unit was not strong enough to cool the room, so I ended up driving to Home Depot to buy a fan just to try to stay cool at night. The room has no mini fridge and not even a bedside lamp. Imagine a new mom with baby formula, wouldn't even have anywhere to store it. Or an elderly person, would have to get out of bed in the dark to find the light switch. This place was just a dump. And the staff were not friendly at all. I'll never be back and I don't recommend this place. I spent 2 nights here, and came home exhausted from not being able to sleep due to the heat in my room. Honestly, there was more negatives about this place, but I just don't have the energy to give this place anymore thought.

Good location but...

The location is very good. It is only 1 block to the Embarcadero (Harbor Dr). There are other hotels in the area but much more money. The room has no mini-fridge and the microwave is in the lobby, not in the room. The room does have an in-room safe and ironing board. My only negative comment is that the room was kinda smelly.

Not quite what the pictures portrayed

Cons- Dirty dirty carpets. No in room fridge, no microwave, no coffe maker. No coffee even in the lobby. Early check in cost $25. Right next to the tram tracks (noisy). Pros- bed linen clean and bed comfortable, bathroom clean with working hot water. Pool. Close to the bay. Walking distance to a lot of restaurants and sight seeing. Nice staff. AC worked. It's one of the cheapest hotels in the area, so if you can ignore a few things then this is the place for you.

There were younge men begging for money and things in the parking lot when we pulled up. The guy at front desk was not there. Then when he showed up was not nice. The room smelled of mold as soon as we walked in. Then i discovered dirty dipers in the trash can . The beds where hard as a board. Messed up my mom's back because it was so hard. A man I didn't know approched me in the parking lot (did not say who he was) but asked what room I was in. Then he said he was charging me for my service animal. Which by law is not supposed to happen. Even after showing paper work and the law he still charged me. Was very rude about the whole thing. I will never stay here again. Avoid!!!

The staff was nice and gave us great restaurant recommendations. The area was nice, the room was ok, the bathroom was terrible. The door to the bathroom would not close unless you kicked it shut. The tub was very slippery and not it good condition, and the vent looks like it has never been cleaned. Other than the bathroom, everything else was great.
