Top Monterey County Hotel Reviews

Pacific Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were able to book a ground floor dog, friendly room with short notice. We were surprised at how clean the room was. The beds and pillows were comfortable. There was a K cup coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, and complementary earplugs. We found the enclosed area for the dogs to go to the bathroom useful. I do feel the parking could be better. It was a tight fit, and there weren’t a lot of open spots. However, all in all we were pleased."
