The stay was absolutely wonderful! We stayed in a king room overlooking the courtyard, and it was both clean and cozy. Breakfast baskets were available each morning, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach. Overall, an amazing experience!

Great location and good value for the hotel stay. Room was spacious and clean. Loved the Tesla charging that was provided at no additional cost. The walls are a bit thin so you may hear your neighbors, but ours was mostly well behaved. ;-) Overall, I would recommend Pacific Crest!

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!

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.

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.
