Very cool, relaxing, holiday, surfing place in San Diego. It's very nice in neighbourhood of bigger and I guess more expensive hotels.It's very good location also for eating out, bars and... More

This hotel has a fabulous location with amazing views. It is within easy walking distance of fab eateries and the guys who run it were really helpful. The room was clean and well maintained. I was there overe 'spring break' and there were some noisy guests but That is not the hotels fault just inconsiderate people. Everything worked including Wifi.

The main thing this place has going for it is the location which is absolutely perfect, staff at the front desk were not particularly friendly or helpful, our room opened up to the street walkway so it was noisy and not very private. There were flies in the room & 2 of the main powerpoints didn't work (including our bedside... More

This hotel is Perfect! It is very clean, the staff is exceptionally service oriented and the location is priceless. Right on the beach and within 2-3 blocks of all kinds of restaurants and shops in 3 directions. Will definitely recommend and stay there again!

I have stayed at the Pacific View before -- several times -- and I find them consistent. The place has been upgraded gradually over the years and is still not a "fancy" place (thanks for that) -- but while spartan, it is neighborhood, friendly and clean. I've always had great service and prompt response from the staff, whether it is... More

Older hotel but perfect location for kids to play on the beach. The staff is excellent! Rooms were a little warm but they have fans which take care of that problem. Not a 5 star but since hotels on the beach in San Diego are hard to find under $200/night, it fit our needs perfectly since we were staying a... More

I wanted simple accommodations right on the beach for a few days of vacation before attending a conference downtown. Didn't want a pool, on-site restaurant, jacuzzi, room service. My room (#11) was really clean and well-appointed, with a comfy bed and a light and soft cotton quilt. Nice TV (limited channels, but enough movies), kitchen (sink, m-wave, fridge w/small freezer),... More

I stayed here once about 7 years ago. It has improved greatly since then. The office person (Justin) was friendly and accommodating. We stayed in the only room with a full kitchen, unit 1. The kitchen is barley stocked, but we made do. This is not a luxurious place to stay, but quite comfortable. You can't beat the price for... More
