Top Pacific Beach Hotel Reviews

Pacific Shores Inn on Pacific Beach

8/10 Good

"Location was great, one block from the beach but I had to wait 1 hour after the checkin window. I've been on the road for work and for leisure 6 months out of the year for the last 10years and never ran into this situation before. For such an expensive hotel this should not happen."

Pacific Terrace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible experience staying here. Right on the beach. The customer service was top tier and we can’t wait to return. There is Pacific Terrace or nothing!"

Pacific View Inn

8/10 Good

"So cute, excellent location. Paid parking definitely worth it"

Ocean Park Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location, pool small but nice. Breakfast was a nice benefit. Hallways and lobby not air conditioned. Elevator very slow. Staff all friendly and helpful."

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had a great time! We enjoyed the different pools, miniature golf & treasure hunt. Our room and lobby were clean & the staff was attentive and helpful"

Catamaran Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"Great location, 20 min away from all the great places to visit. Exceptional staff, Wyatt helped us check in and out. Very friendly professional and knowledgeable. The team who brought our car around every time, very fast and friendly. The lobby and the way to our room you felt like you were at the jungle. Clean and well maintained. The pool area very nice. The reason I didn’t give the hotel 5 stars it is because my room was really outdated and there was a moldy smell in the closet and the drawers. All my clothes smelled moldy. The balcony was not well maintained and the screen was broken. Over all good experience, exceptional service and staff."

Diamond Head Inn

8/10 Good

"We ended up in San Diego for an extra night and decided to try out the diamond head for a little savings. Upon check in , Marina was friendly and helpful, check in also was a breeze . We did have a bit of a walk from front desk to our room at another property, but we were stoked to find a nicer room than the property down the beach we always stay at in PB. The room is basic, but super clean, with tons of space and even a mini kitchenette. This is a great. I’d get option that’s still super close to beach access but a little quieter than the boardwalk itself. We will remember that spot for our getaway"

Surfer Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is amazing! The portable air conditioner was inconvenient and loud. The room had a damp ocean smell but that is to be expected. The floor was sandy but the room itself was clean and tidy."

California Dreams Hostel - Pacific Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I’m in love. Maybe with 100 people but they are all so sweet and pretty. Wish I didn’t have to go but they got all booked up. I highly recommend this property. Good people doing good work"
