What is a "good" deal for a room at the Pan Pacific?

[mousefan73]

Just curious post covid, what is considered a good deal for a basic room, no breakfast extras at the Pan Pacific. I was able to get a room for 269.00 a night sun-tues.. If I add the Sat.. the price doubles.. so that Sat is like 500 alone. I did search and read the hotwire trick, but the price is higher there, ( if thats the place)

thx

That is a really good price for Pan Pacific. If you join their rewards club, you will get email for sales. They have a few really big ones each year.

The location is super convenient - but I will tell you our experience this past August wasn't great. We had a Pacific Club room (access to concierge lounge, which was great). I have a pretty severe feather allergy and noted it when I made the reservation and called again the week before to make sure it was in the notes. When we checked in I asked about it and they said it wasn't in the notes and that I would have to wait till the next day to have the bedding changed (it was around 4 pm). I said that was not ok and talked to a manager who seemed super irritated but said it would be handled. We went for a hike and to dinner. When we returned to the room it was still all feathers. My husband went down to the desk and they said they would send someone up. We were coming from the east coast and had been traveling for over 24 hours and we were TIRED. By 11pm Pacific we still had no new bedding. We literally slept using clothing as pillows and our jackets as a blanket. The next day they dropped off the non-feather bedding in a heap on the bed and didn't take away the feathered bedding. We made the switch and then put all the feather bedding in the hallway as I was wheezing. Then no one emptied our garbage for 4 days despite asking repeatedly and we were out of toilet paper. I went to the front desk and showed them photos our mountains of recycling on the dresser and the garbage overflowing and finally someone came up and took the trash and left one roll of TP. I wrote to them about it but never even received a response. Also, the elevators are ancient and tragic.

I would not stay there again - even if they have their act together. I understand staffing challenges, but allergies and garbage are not something to just ignore.

Oh wow, that is horrible! they did nothing to address your feather allegry. I looove down, but am lucky not to have issues. I am surprised they don't offer an allergy room as most now do. I am not set in stone on them. I have also heard the Fairmont across the street is much better. Seeing it's literally across the street, I have no issue schlepping my suitcase. thanks for the info

I would say that's a very good deal. Not the 500 but the 269.00.

$269 is an excellent price for the Pan.

The Fairmont Pacific Rim is right across the street and although it's been 4 1/2 years since I stayed there, it stands out as being one of the my favorite hotels in the world (Park Hyatt Sydney holds the favorite ever award). If I had to choose , Pacific Rim>>>>>Pan Pacific (and I've stayed both places). IIRC, it's a little more pricey, though.

Yes I did look at that too and that’s actually for my dates a lot more pricey. Maybe it was a fluke but the pan Pacific was significantly less than the Fairmont across the street and others in the area. Though I am concerned because I haven’t read too many great things lately. I don’t know if it’s a Covid thing still or what. For us it’s mainly the location. Ensure the heck better than the place we had last year when we went to Hawaii. It was on Robinson Street and was kind of a dump but it was so cheap it was worth it. It was clean and safe so that’s all that it really mattered But we want to spoil ourselves this time
