Our experience at Pacific Terrace was wonderful. Every employee was helpful and friendly, the beach chairs for our use were very convenient, and the room was large, comfortable and clean. They even sent a bottle of wine to the room to help celebrate my husband’s birthday. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
Great sunsets from the hotel

Beautiful place and I will be there again. The only complaint I have is the mattress needs to be replaced. But everything was so nice, I hate to even mention it.

The ocean views are beautiful but not sure the room I paid for was any different than the other rooms and the price seemed very high for the quality of the room which was pretty outdated. The dining service is terrible. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. I don't think I would stay here again, we like very upscale and this was OK, but more like 3 stars than 5.
