The Pacific/Mission Beach area in San Diego is a popular destination among young people from around the world looking for fun 24h/7d a week, and that's basically what you'll find there. You chose to stay here because of the beach, surf, bars, restaurants, right? No? Ok, so you need to reconsider your options... But don't get me wrong: overall it's... More

I live in San Diego a mere mile down the street from this hotel. I was forced to stay here by my landlord because our building was being tented for termites. Thank goodness I didn't pay for this room or I would have been extremely pissed! I was on the bottom floor on the very end of the hotel (room... More

We stay here every year when we come to San Diego. You cannot beat the location, right across the street from the beach and walking distance to grocery stores, bars, restaurants and Starbucks! The rooms are nothing fancy, but it's always been clean so we have no complaints. And you can't beat the price. This is a high energy area... More

We have gone to this hotel at least 2 times a year. We live in Nevada/ We do realize that is is not a 5 star hotel, but it is close the the beach. We made reservations using a credit card, got a confirmation number, and when we called 2 days prior to going to San Diego, the office manager... More

The location is superb, just 70 yds back from the beach. We were ripped off though - we went as a group and paid nearly $200 for a night - that was 5 of us crammed into one pokey room with no airconditioning. Good job we had a great night in the bars all around. More

We have stayed here previously and found it acceptable. It is close to the beach so we decided we could overlook the traffic noise. Since our last stay a bar/night club opened right across the street. At 2:00 am they push everyone out and onto the street. We were awake from 1:30 am until 4:40 am. The office closes at... More

This hotel is honestly in the heart of Pacific Beach. You walk right across the street and your feet touch the sand! It is near hundreds of restaurants, bars and shops. This is a perfect place for a younger family looking to stay in the middle of all the action. More

We stayed at this location because the hotel was within proximity to many local area attractions. We visited SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Kingdom, and several eateries. The main problem we encountered was the parking lot security was not adequate at this hotel. Our vehicle was broken into during the evening hours. We filed a police report, however we... More

Let me start off with the good point: Location. It's a minutes walk away from the ocean, restaurants and nightlife. Now to the bad: The water faucet had a really hard to operate, stuck lever. The sheets were dirty, and it was disgusting to sleep in them. It's near all the bars, so don't expect a very quiet night in... More

Pros: Very good rate for the area. We had a kitchenette and the bathroom/shower was big enough. It was clean and the motel was well maintained. They have a pool and the motel is in the heart of Pacific beach. It was really nice to use the pool after a day at the beach. It's only a short walk from... More
