“Business Travelers Delight - Full Suite at single room cost”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Recently I was fortunate enough to be on business in this simply magnificent location within one of my global favorite locations, which is Awesomely Fabulous California. As my time was going to be spent in an all-business mode I was delighted to see that my "room" was indeed a full suite, with a business office area and comfortable quiet lounging area with Queen size sofa bed which area was separate entirely from the King size bedroom and bathroom areas by a long hallway - Also delightfully surprising this wonderful hotel cooks custom breakfasts for guests which cost is included in the the suite room rate. The grounds are of equal quality of a Botanical Park and the heavenly scents from the gardens filled my senses with wonderful Gardenia and Jasmine with my every step. A simply wonderful hotel, with wonderful staff and fabulously designed business traveler best wished for room layout and luxury conveniences. I shall always choose this hotel for all my business travels to this majestically beautiful region of California. Extremely reasonable cost and outstanding value. Every comfort imaginable with custom chef cooked breakfasts daily at no cost!!! Simply Incredible!!!. Thank You Pacifica Suites .......... You are #1 in Business Travel (and Tourism Travel) Two Thumbs Up - Actually Four as you deserve Two Thumbs Up and Two Big Toes Up - Well Done - Well Appreciated!!!! You Certainly Have an Outstanding Excellent Hotel.

Room Tip: All rooms are excellent. This is an All-Suites Hotel. A rare find and a jewel in the crown for San...

“Ditch the chains.....stay here instead.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

What an enjoyable stay. I am a Courtyard/Garden Inn fan and was looking for a change. Good choice on my part. Pleasant greeting, nice room, nice/clean pool/spa, nice free breakast, evening wine reception. Paid $5 for fitness club assess - nice vs the normal hotel offerings. True suites with nice sheets and pillows. Couple bottles of free water was nice.

I highly recommend for a most welcome change from the chains.

Room Tip: go for the pool side to avoid the highway noise. Nice views too.

“Comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

These suites are a little difficult to find at first, but that's a good thing! The rooms are spacious, pretty and well maintained grounds, very clean, friendly staff, free breakfast, wine and beer in the evenings. Very pleasant.

“Great location on main street, but feels secluded”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

The rooms are large and comfortable and very private. The two HD TVs had excellent quality and the bed was very comfortable. The only negative was the extra blanket in the closet had holes in it, but appeared to be clean.

“Perfect for the price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 9, 2012

Had a really nice overnight stay, 1 bedroom room had enough space for child on pull-out, a crib, 2 adults and a dog! Nice that it's dog friendly. Free hot breakfast that was great. Nice grounds & room.
