Diamond Head Inn Pacific Beach

This was our third time staying at the Diamond Head Inn and we will definitely return. The location is perfect! You are literally steps away from the boardwalk and some amazing restuarants. Randy at the front desk is awesome and very accomodating. I would highly recommend this hotel for the location and value.

The hotel was the right location at the right price. We didn't spend much time in our room but it was clean and pretty comfy. If you want to be able to walk/ride around Pacific beach its a perfect location and affordable.

If you want a clean, comfortable place to stay near the beach, this place is for you.

They upgraded my room to an ocean view. The view was great. The stairs down to the beach were only 50 feet away. I could hear the ocean as I slept at night. Overall a great time.

Close to boardwalk great price

We booked a week-long package through [...]. "Quaint" is an understatement for this motel. The carpet in the livingroom area was so stained and spotted we were afraid to remove our shoes. Blinds were broken, and cabinet doors were hanging by one hinge. There was a terrible odor, which we at first attributed to the beach-front location. We bought disinfectant wipes and air freshner spray, and the odor didn't go away. Upon opening the bathroom window, we realized there was a dumpster directly outside our window. I asked at the front desk if it would be possible to move to a different room since we were to be there for a whole week, and I was told that this is the type of room you get when you book through a 3rd party, and there weren't any more of that type available. (I'll remember that if I'm ever tempted to buy another package through a 3rd party.) The motel is obviously very old, but it did seem to have fairly new paint on the walls, and the kitchen and bathroom floors had been tiled. So we could tell it had been somewhat updated. But the update has not been very well maintained. When we opened the blinds in the living area, there were new mattresses wrapped in plastic leaning up against the window and outside wall, unprotected. It made us wonder about the bed we were sleeping on. The continental breakfast consisted of pastries and coffee/orange juice, for which we were thankful since the milk and other groceries we had bought were frozen solid in the mini refrigerator. There was no control knob to adjust the temperature, so the money we spent on food was wasted. The office is only open during the day, and if you have a problem after hours, you have to go to another motel 2 blocks away to get help. It just seems that no one cares enough about this property to put any real effort into maintaining it.

The best part of our stay at Diamond Head was the Location. It is perfectly located for easy access to the beach, La Jolla, Rt 5, Mission bay. However, I was not impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel. Rugs and paint were terrible. The parking is horrible, unless you enjoy parking 2 blocks from the hotel. I didnt care for the amount of homeless which were allowed to come in and drink free coffee in the morning. It doesnt appear the owner cares about the property. Should be priced a bit lower. would I go back? Naaah.I'd explore other options first

This hotel is super close to the beach, restaurants, and lots of bars. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and have everything you need.

Clean, convenient to boardwalk and beaches. No problems during our stay. Will definitely book again.

Beautiful room! Beautiful view of the ocean, right outside the door. Nice, clean rooms and plenty of space inside. Big screen tv, very comfortable bed. Only problem was no designated parking, but we were lucky 90% of the time. I'd definitely go back.
