Great stay

Unbeatable location. Some upgrades to bathroom (shower curtain, tiling) are in order but overall it was very comfortable, clean, and easy to check in. We love staying in this area. The bed was VERY comfortable and great water pressure!

The room was nice. Bed was very uncomfortable and very squeaky. There was people above us stomping around the whole entire night which was really the down side to this stay. The walls are THIN. The being on the beach though was great so it was good for just the singular night we were there. There is only 4 parking spaces for the whole hotel which is a little odd, but luckily I did get one. I would stay here for a single night again, but request the top floor.

You walk out the door and immediately there’s a miniature park and you go a little farther down in the beach is there. Everything’s just beautiful and quaint.

Clean but nothing special

The service was wonderful!!! Very nice help at the front desk. VERY Accommodating and helpful and professional. The property is lacking many amenities that help make a stay enjoyable. No parking. No ice machines. No rugs on the cold floors. Hot water takes MANY minutes to come to faucet. Security Lighting in the windows makes it very difficult to sleep. No baggage carts. I would recommend staying ONLY if you want nothing special, but a clean property with very nice people.

Party scene so beware

Great getaway for my husband and I, keep in mind there are young college kids all around so it’s loud. We had a weekend stay and the room next to us had partygoers, which we didn’t mind. They were loud and were drunk but staying in PB we knew what we were getting into. Next time if we want a quiet stay we will go to La Jolla. But room was very nice and clean, perfect for our stay and next to many restaurants.

Perfect Minnesota winter escape

My sister and I loved our stay at Pacific View Inn! It was exactly what we were looking for during our two day stay in San Diego. It was steps away from the beach, and only a few more steps to food, beverage, shopping, and convenience items. The complimentary beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas were a pleasant surprise, and the table and chairs outside of our room offered a sunny warm spot to sit and relax while not on the beach. Esmeralda was helpful and friendly, and I especially loved being asked upon check in if we would need housekeeping service the following morning. We all need to do our part to save the environment, and I appreciate an eco friendly property.

Great location in Pacific Beach!

Very affordable and amazing location. Only stayed one night but we were walking distance to so many things. We bar hopped the best spots in PB and walked the beach the next morning. Will definitely be back again!

The location is wonderful and the property was easy to access while we were tired from traveling. The staff were friendly and supportive. The room was right off the ocean and a part of a wonderful experience there. There was some confusion about parking accommodations through text I was told I was not going to have parking, twice requested, but once I arrived they told me they had accommodations for me. So that was a bit confusing and gave some frustration while traveling to consider not having parking where we stayed and while having valuables we could not unload. Accommodations were met and clarified once we arrived and we enjoyed our stay fully.
