 Stargazer Hotel

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We love the keyless entry to the room. Super roomie and big rooms. Very clean. Fully stocked. How’s the microwave refrigerator. The text to the front desk or to the hotel is awesome. They respond right away. The indoor pool and hot tub is a plus. There’s always towels ready by the pool area. Which is very helpful. They have a great coffee machine in the lobby. Love how we can just text them instead of call them for any questions and again we really love the keyless entry to the room. We did not have to check in at the lobby because we did it all online and we’re not notified when the room was ready via text. We did stay here a few years ago but this time around it’s fully renovated and definitely a 10 out of 10 would stay here again in the future."

"This is an old hotel but it was very clean and rooms had been updated. Staff at checkin were very friendly. Hotel was easy walking distance to a variety of restaurants. Not a lot of on site parking available so if you were running late, you might have to park on the street."

"This hotel was a diamond in the rough. It’s not a super fancy hotel, but it came with everything we needed for our one night stay. The price was right, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and there were more than enough outlets for charging all our electronics. I will definitely be staying at this hotel on our next visit! Thanks Pacific Inn for the stay."
