I had a mixed experience at The Pacific in San Diego. The location was fantastic, close to Little Italy and many attractions, but I ran into some issues with service and extra fees that caught me off guard. Overall, the place has potential but needs some improvements.

My stay at The Pacific was an experience filled with a mix of warmth and challenges. The location was fantastic, close to Little Italy and the Waterfront, which made exploring San Diego a breeze. However, I found the bed to be uncomfortable and the pillows rather lumpy, which detracted from my overall comfort. Despite this, the perfect cleanliness and friendly service from the staff made my trip enjoyable.

My stay at The Pacific was quite decent, with a location that's tough to beat. just a short walk from Little Italy and the waterfront. While the room was basic, it was clean and met my needs. On the downside, the bed could have been more comfortable, and the TV setup was a bit finicky.
