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!

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.

I had an amazing stay at the Pacific Crest. I was a last minute book because the airbnb my family rented misportrayed how many beds it had. The first night the TV did not work in the room and hotel staff went out of their way to remedy the issue that had occurred due to a weather power outage. When it could not be fixed, they upgraded me and put me in the penthouse suite. It was amazing and I had a great few days at the Pacific Crest. Thank you!

Although we were only there for one night it was a great location as we had our dog with us. We were able to walk to get burgers which was nice and they even had a charger we could charge our Tesla overnight with which was amazing!

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!

Very disappointed. My young daughter and I were traveling alone and we were given a room that seemed to be maybe an old garage converted into a room. It was dark and felt a bit creepy. There was a large gap in the exterior door and several large spiders walked right in while my daughter was awake, so that left her feeling uneasy. We woke up and there were a few dead bugs that I believe flew in through the gap during the night. Pros were the convenience to everything, the location near the beach was fantastic, free easy parking, the pool looked clean and well maintained. I might’ve like this hotel if we were given a different room, but I won’t be returning.
