Great beach hotel

GREAT hotel, right on the beach. Very friendly front desk staff. They let us check in a little early. We were able to barrow beach chairs, umbrellas and towels each day which was awesome. The location was awesome. Walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. When I come back to San Diego, I will definitely stay here again.

It was a great location. Nothing fancy, very very minimal and lacking amenities. Staff was very helpful and kind. Wouldn’t pay a great deal for the hotel but like I said, location was great.

The desk staff was unhelpful and not very kind at check in. There should be a loading space for unloading luggage into the room since there isn’t close parking. They didn’t refill our coffee when they cleaned the room. There was loud partying in the room next to us all night.

No free parking? Alrighty then - but if you want to buy parking for $30, that's what they offer. Customer Service was rude from start to finish and did accommodate my flight changes. Charged me an extra sales tax according to a new law.

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.
