The room was huge (for a boutique hotel) and the balcony was spacious. Very clean & centrally located in Pacific Beach. The stairs to the beach are right across from the hotel & there are a ton of bars & restaurants in walking distance. My only complaint is that I thought there was more of a pool based on the... More

What a beautiful and perfectly located boutique hotel. We stayed 4 nights and will definitely be returning again. Pros: Clean, Accommodating and Attentive Staff, Convenient Valet, Excellent Restaurant and Bar, Decent-sized Room, Good Room Service, Excellent Location, Amazing Views, Excellent People-watching entertainment. Cons: Our room was on the 2nd Floor directly above the bar and it is loud. If we... More

I found this hotel by looking in TripAdvisor and I am glad I did! It was such a great find! This boutique hotel was very chic and right on the beach. The rooms was clean and modern. We had a balcony which was nice to eat breakfast in the morning (the room service breakfast was good and reasonably priced). The... More

A fantastic boutique hotel on the beach. I stayed in their surf pad for 2 nights. The check in was smooth and the staff very friendly (they even give you a complimentary welcome cocktail!). The room was spacious, clean and had a spectacular view of the ocean. You could just stay in, and watch the ocean and surfers the whole... More

I stayed at the Tower 23 with two of my friends I was visiting in LA, we drove to San Diego for the night. What a fabulous hotel, with probably the best restaurant I have ever eaten at (must have the sliders). This hotel brings in a younger crowd so we really loved it. Our room was located on the... More

Tower 23 has become a second home to my husband and I. We just came back from our 4th visit to San Diego and Tower 23 has been there - meeting all our vacation needs. The hotel is steps from the Pacific Ocean in the community of Pacific Beach, San Diego California. I suffer from a disability called Fibromyalgia -... More

My GF surprised me with a trip to PB, Tower 23 was perfect. At check-in they brought up complimentary drinks (the Rum Punch was really good). Later they brought up a tray of desserts with a Happy Birthday card signed by the entire hotel staff. The next day the front desk was more than happy to allow us to leave... More

While we weren't crazy about the decor in the room, it was clean and comfortable. However, we were very pleased with everything else. It's a great location on the beach, and being right on the boardwalk made it very convenient for exploring the area. We rented bikes right outside the hotel, and cycled the whole boardwalk and down to Old... More

Tower23 is a super place to stay in San Diego if you want a modern, moderately priced hotel on the beach, with a great restaurant. The architecture is fun and sleek. The hotel, while not opulent, is very comfortable. The staff was always courteous and helpful. I was a bit hesitant to stay here after hearing about the hotel being... More

Tower23 was the first stop on our honeymoon tour of California and it was a nice start to the holiday. We were upgraded on arrival and had a bottle of Cava delivered to the room which was a nice touch. The bedroom were spacious and clean but lacked character but the roof top area with comfy sun lounger beds more... More
