Great lacation. Great experience. Our only complaint is the hallways etc. are very warm.

Perfect location on Pacific Beach. The Strand, the pier, restaurants and shops are all right there or within a block or two. Walking was a pleasure in San Diego’s fantastic weather, especially at this hotel’s location on the coast. I found two car rental companies nearby with hotel pick-up but we didn’t need them. Instead, we took advantage of the bus stops one or two blocks away for travel to attractions around town.
The room was clean and comfortable. The desk and free wi-fi were handy when I used the public transportation Trip Planner on the SDMTS website. We slept with the balcony door open to get the ocean breeze and the soft soothing sound of the waves. The complimentary breakfast has ample choices. I recommend trying the self-serve waffle maker. We remedied the lack of fruit with a two-block walk to the local supermarket, storing the perishables in our hotel room’s refrigerator. The staff at the desk were always there and ready to be helpful, a plus since this was my first time in San Diego. Their three-day-advance cancellation policy took some improvising since our arrival date was uncertain.

After reading some reviews we decided to book ahead and ask for an ocean facing room on the 3rd floor. We were greeted by a friendly front desk and were able to check in at noon, which was a bonus. The view from the balcony was awesome! If you love the ocean and like to people watch, this is your hotel. The room was more than we expected. We had a king size bed, and the room was still big enough to include a desk and love seat. Although the bathroom was dated (peach toilet), the room certainly wasn't shabby. The entire hotel is non-smoking and smells very clean. The continental breakfast is miles above the usual ancient danish and coffee. Fresh pastries, hard boiled eggs, waffles, and fruit were in abundance every morning! Last but not least, the location of the hotel couldn't be better. Steps from the beach, right in the thick of Pacific Beach restaurants and bars. We will definitely stay here next year!

I was concerned about the front desk due to a prior review but the staff was perfect, never less than 2 people sometimes three and always friendly & helpful.

The location is perfect, the ocean, the beach, the restaurants, the shops!

We will be back.
