We stayed in a two-bedroom unit for three days and had a generally pleasant experience. The rooms were nice, clean, and well-maintained, which made the stay comfortable. One of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its location—the beach is within walking distance, and that’s a huge plus. The hotel itself is on the smaller side, which gives it a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere. The pool was clean and well-kept, and the shower in the room was particularly good. One downside was the breakfast, it was the same every day with no options, which became repetitive and less enjoyable over time. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a short stay, especially if being close to the beach is a priority.

I had a pleasant stay at Pacific Crest Hotel. The room was spotless, and the location was fantastic. We had a minor hiccup with late check-in, as the staff had left by 9pm, but they were helpful over the phone, making it easy. Incase of late check in make sure you call them up and clarify the checkin process. The only improvement would be the food services, but overall, I’d definitely recommend it!

Staff was kind, room was overall nice clean and looks new overall, if I’m coming for a short trip I would stay again. Parking can be tough in the evening, there aren’t really enough spots and you may have to park on the street which is not something I like as I have small children. As long as you are used to staying in renovated small hotels and not 5star hotels this place is great, and overall better than most. I’ll be back!

Super value for money !!! When we get to the place the first impression was not so nice, felt like oldie, small TV that has issues to get channels work, and the lack of hangers for wet towels with a great soft king bed and great shower. Super tiny bathroom, impossible to hang all wet things. Huge closet that can be used for part of the tiny bathroom. Receptionist and cleaning ladies were very nice people, attentive. Breakfast unhealthy unique option, a 1/4 yoghurt with two spoons of cereal, 1 muffin and orange juice of a box with loads of sugars. We took always the yoghurt only. Is better to serve a fruit the yoghurt and water than a muffin & juice full of unhealthy ingredients.

Clean, but small ish room. I thought I would have a private deck, but you just get one big one that is shared with next door neighbor and opens up to the entire floor. Overall, it was fine for a one night stay with my dogs. Had streaming services on the tv, but didn’t work, so we watched cable. Staff/owner was very kind and accommodating.
