Family vacation
We had a great time while staying at the hotel, and it was close to where my son lives. My next trip I'd like to know when there specials are, so I can book it again just for me. The view we had of the ocean was great!! This was the best place that I've stayed in San Diego!!

Shopping tip:
Long walk from hotel
The tee shirt shops just south of Joes Crab shop have shirts and hoodies and other items for a third of the price the inland stores have. And it's really not a long walk.

Diamond in the rough
We had a great time at Pacific Terrace Hotel. It was my wife and I and 2 young boys (ages 4 and 7). At first the neighborhood seems like a college town with young people having a good time. BUT when you reach the hotel everything changes. They take care of you and make you feel at home. We came in from the airport tired and exhausted after a long flight from Chicago and missing some luggage, the hotel staff quickly gave us our keys and we were off to relax in our room. Every staff member at the hotel was nice and friendly from the up front desk to even the cleaning staff who would ask how we were and how our day is, now that's unusually nice. Every morning we would ask for breakfast advice and the staff would direct us to the great local joints (ex Broken yolk, Konos, and The Mission). The concierge is very nice and friendly and would take care of all our questions and tickets to the theme parks and any travel spots. The cleaning staff made sure our rooms were clean and tidy even though we had two messy boys, they would cool the room and turn on some music for us (unfortunately the weather outside was too cold to walk into a cold room :). Overall this hotel is the best we've been to and you can compare it to a family run business and they work to impress.

Enjoyed San Diego!
Great accommodations and great location
We booked a partial view room, and bumped up to the executive suite when we arrived. The St. Lucia suite was very spacious, with a huge and beautiful bathroom, two queen beds, comfy couch and chairs, dinner table, microwave, refrigerator, and a balcony with a view of the beach and ocean looking northwest. Our family of four had lots of space. The people working there were all very helpful and nice. They serve breakfast which is fast, but not very good, and otherwise there is no restaurant at the hotel, although there are many restaurants within easy walking distance. They even offered to have a doctor come to the hotel for a house call when one of our party was sick, instead of going to an urgent care. We really liked this hotel.
