We loved that it is so close to the beach and many restaurants, shops, and activities around. However, there were so many noises at night at the room including with the ceiling (we thought it was the AC) which made it so hard to fall asleep, stay asleep, and woke us up very morning and the maintenance crew very early morning as well. There were big spiders all throughout the room. The cleaning service was good every day and staff was very friendly. I also think more remodeling should be done (especially to reduce the noises). We loved our stay, but we don’t think we will stay here next time. Thanks!

Fantastic location in the heart of Pacific Beach. Rooms basic but spacious and clean. Had a partial ocean view facing pool but the noise reduction on the balcony door was effective, no nose issues.

Property was actually right next to the beach with easy secure access. Loungers set facing the beach with a glass partition to keep some privacy and separation from the public walkway. The staff was constantly cleaning the glass and the pool area. It was quieter and more comfortable than expected. Head out the gate and you can quickly join the crowd and head next door for great food and more down the strand way.

The hotel has been nicely refurbished and the staff is super nice and helpful. They also have their own onsite cafe. It is located in an older area that is outdated and in dire need of road repair. There is also a significant homeless presence. The property is private and secured though and conveniently located right on the beachfront.

Beautiful view , if you rent the ocean or partial ocean view …. That is the best part of the hotel ….. cool staff , but very old furniture in the rooms , they charge $36 a night for parking …. You need to ask for house keeping or they will skip your room …. I stayed here for 7 days 6 nights like I said the Ocean view was beautiful .. Stay Classy SD
