Hotel Pacific

Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent
"This was a lovely place to stay - as we are local, having our floors redone. The luxury junior suite - had very roomy space, a fireplace, little balcoy and little table/ktichen area. We were extremely pleased with the space, location in MRY and price. We'll go there again when needed and highly recommend it to visitors."
