Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was so adorable. I loved the rooms. Very big. Plenty of space for my family of 4 with 2 teenagers. The fireplace was perfect. The location was amazing. Walking distance to the pier and whale watching so we didn’t have to find parking. Lots of restaurants within walking distance as well. Definitely will be staying here again."

"Very nice finishes in the room. Lobby was well done and comfortable with ample choices for seating. It’s clear the property has been renovated in recent years. I’ve stayed here before and it’s much nicer than it was. Hyatt did a good job."

10/10 Excellent
"Great boutique hotel in Carmel. Close to the main areas in Carmel. Great customer service. Lovely comfortable rooms while not huge are beautiful furnished. Great free extras provided from early morning coffee, a delicious buffet breakfast with egg station, afternoon wine and not forgetting the wonderful chocolate chip cookies in the evening. A real treat."
