“LOVELY and WONDERFUL BREAKFAST”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

We arrived just after dark, so we had no idea the extent of the beauty of the grounds/plantation until morning.

The room was great. We have 4 kids and the room was large enough to accommodate us comfortably.

Breakfast was made to order and excellent. My 6 year old is a bit of a "foodie" and told my husband that the breakfast sandwiches was going to be his request once we arrived home. Honestly, this was the best breakfast we've had included in the room rate at any hotel.

The staff was friendly and check-in was flawless. First impressions are important.

“I'vealways wanted...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

I've driven by the Pacifica Suites for years thinking, "Oh that looks interesting".The grounds are a beautiful old lemon plantaion style mixed w/ a new well done additions. When my husband indicated that this is where we were staying on this visit to his dad's I was pleased. Even with high expectaions I was very, very happy with the choice. The rooms are big, beautiful, well appointed suites. Everything is understated luxury. The grounds are beautiful, the pool great and the atmospherecasual and refined. The guests are neither stuffy nor obnoxious. AND>>>> they take dogs! I can't wait to go back.

“Caring staff - Great Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

This hotel was perfect for our college group. The rooms, being suites, gave people more room to spread out. The breakfast was great with lots of choices and seating both indoors and out. The staff was quite accommodating. Being set back from the road, the rooms are quiet. I paid the $5 fee to go to a local fitness club which was nicer than any hotel's on-site facility. Overall, a great choice for our group.

“Comfortable, cozy, and clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

Pacifica Suites is a great place to spend a weekend, a vacation, or just a night. Its suites are roomy and comfortable. We like the fact that we can bring one or all of our teenagers and still fit with room to spare. The property is beautiful for its size. We always ask for a pool side suite so that we feel that we are away from all the hussle of the parking lot or the on ramp to the freeway. Once you're on the balony, you could be at any family hotel. The complementary breakfast makes it all worth wild. Not having to go but downstairs to eat is great! The selection is fantastic. The amenities are wonderful and the staff has always pleasantly answered and helped us with any requests that we have made. Just wish there were two sinks in the bathroom. Hey but it's a small price to pay.

Room Tip: Poolside rooms are worth the extra cost!

“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...
