We loved the location of this property. It was on the beach. Everything was walkable. There were so many great places to eat and drink. The hotel was clean spacious and renovated. They had a bonfire pit. They also had beach chairs, beach towels and sand toys to use. We reserved parking ahead of time and I think that’s the way to go otherwise you have to find street parking and that can be difficult during the day. We would stay here again!

Horrible

View Pacific Beach Hotel. I arrived for a late check-in and was charged an extra fee to retrieve my key from a lockbox on the front door, which was never mentioned during booking. I was supposed to receive an email with my receipt and lockbox code, but I never got one. When I arrived, no one was present, even though I was told over the phone someone would be there to assist. I ended up having to call a completely different hotel just to get my lockbox code. After finally getting into the room, there were numerous issues: • No coffee, despite multiple calls requesting help • No parking, even though I paid extra for it – I had to park in the neighborhood • No Wi-Fi info provided • No cell service in the room • TV didn’t work at all When I called back several times for assistance, I was met with rudeness from the person at the other hotel, Derrick, who eventually said, “We can’t help you with anything else, just complain in the morning.” When I got upset over the poor treatment, he hung up on me. The next morning, I went to the hotel at 8 AM to return my keys and voice my frustration. The woman at the front desk (I didn’t get her name) told me I’d have to take up any refund issues with Hotels.com/Expedia, not with them. I explained it wasn’t even about the money – it was about how terribly I was treated. Everyone I encountered just seemed to be passing the buck instead of taking responsibility. This was not just a case of bad service – it was a complete lack of profess

I’m surprised this is only a 2 star hotel. It was clean and comfortable. I’ve stayed in better rated hotels that were not as nice.

Great location on Pacific Beach, walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants and cafes. Large room with 2 double beds, and large bathroom. Very clean, helpful and courteous service. My only gripe was the cost of the room per night and the parking which was convenient but cost $30 daily.

The property was right next to the beach and conveniently located near great restaurants. Down side is that the walls are a bit thin and you may hear things going on in the adjacent room.

This property is not what it looks like in the pictures. The room is very small with low ceilings, you have to use an extra key card to turn on the lights and keep them on. It says partial ocean view and we had a view on the sidewalk so had to keep our blinds closed the entire time, since everyone walking by could see directly into our room. We were on the bottom floor and it was very loud. You could hear everyone going up and down the stairs as well as all their conversations. Our door wasn’t even level with the ground so we had to put a towel to block the light and make it feel like we had some sort of privacy. Who ever designed the shower was not ethical at all. It’s so long and the actual shower area is very small. My boyfriend is 6’1 and barely fit within the shower area. I could only stay the first night and booked a second hotel in the morning when I woke up. Technically booked our third hotel because this was supposed to be our second and final hotel of our long road trip. I asked for a partial refund as I paid out of pocket, and the hotel told me I had to go through Expedia, and Expedia is telling me they emailed the hotel. Hopefully they resolve this issue because I’ve never felt so uncomfortable that I couldn’t stay in a hotel I booked. Just know they make this place look way nicer then what it is. We got “catfished.” Also they say you can pay for parking and it appears the staff gave all the parking to their friends and themselves. No guests had parking.
