Pacific Inn

Pacific Inn

10/10 Excellent
"This is technically a motel, but the room felt like I was in a nice hotel! The community was quiet and the apartment was clean and well-maintained. It had every basic amenity we could need, including onsite laundry machines and shampoo/conditioner/body soap in the shower. This was a lovely place for my boyfriend and I to stay for a week. We are very impressed with the quality for the price."
