The Pacific Motor Inn was recently refurbished and the new owners went above and beyond. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet. They put a great deal into the decor, very nice dishes in the kitchen and a great bathroom with heated towel racks and a lovely deep tub. It was very centrally located with ample parking, a small pool and complimentary laundry facilities (which we were very thankful for). I highly recommend the Pacific Motor Inn.
