Hospital-like

If you like hospital rooms this will be for you. The room was so small I was clostrophobic. Blankets were as thin as you get in hospital I did have the presence of mind to ask for a blanket and still froze. No character. good things:: The girl at front desk was lovely amd welcoming The hot tub was hot

Great view but room badly needs a refresh

The good first: The front desk clerk was friendly. The room (one of the deluxe ocean-view rooms) is really big, with a great balcony and great view. The room is equipped with a mini-fridge. It's a nice easy walk to the beach. The clerk let us plug our electric car in so we could trickle charge overnight. The not so good: The room was in desperate need of a refresh. The carpet was badly stained everywhere and just really gross, and the bathroom sink had a huge crack and was missing the drain stopper. The room was poorly lit, with an overhead light near the entrance and two small free-standing lamps; no lights on the (large) nightstands. There's a table with a pair of hard wooden chairs, but no light anywhere nearby and no comfy chair to sit in (except the rocking chairs outside--assuming it's not raining). The grab and go breakfast (which I know from a previous stay isn't great) isn't available until 8am, which doesn't work if you're getting an early start. In fact, the office isn't open until 8am.

Great staff, less great cabin

Importantly--the staff here are very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and fresh, though they use enough fabric softener to scent the entire coast. This was our second visit for a yearly celebration that always includes a hot tub, but alas, the hot tub was out of order the entire time. We stayed in their beach cabin because it looked quiet--it was, but it was also COLD--the unheated bathroom has a ceramic floor! We really enjoyed the not-really-beach view that included quail and other wildlife, and the sound of the surf. A VERY bright light shines into the cabin all night! There is a loft that requires climbing some very iffy stairs and has no lighting. Even in cool weather, it was either too cold with the window open or too hot from all the heat from the first floor ending up there. Not a usable space. Hard to say if we'd return again--we liked the quiet of the cabin but it was really too cold for fall and very cramped. The bathroom has a low ceiling and a beam partially blocks the doorway--we both bumped our heads hard on this. Perhaps we'll try again and stay back in the main building, though the failure to maintain the hot tub might push us over the edge. Luckily the price was right.

Not the best of the west

The best thing about the Pacific Reef is the front desk clerk who apparently didn’t know about thef following issue. We had booked a room for the handicapped. This motel has two ooms for the handicapped. The first one we were given had no theat. To compensate we were offed a choice between another blanket or an pricier upgrade. We chose the upgrade that had both heat and a higher price. The breakfast—a Grab and Go--- was a muffin, a small breakfast bar, and a small bottle of water ,all three presented in a stapled paper bag to prevent theft. The whole experience was a disappointment and not handled well., Friendly, though. Another guest knocked on our back door looking for her room. .
