We didn’t have a beach view but enjoyed our visit in the off-season when it is thankfully quiet, the staff is nice and helpful, coffee shop convenient for husband has-to-have am coffee. On promenade and close to many restaurants and cafes, grocery store, etc. Narrowest parking spots I have seen since NYC pay to park garages, bring your smallest vehicle.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room had a great view but we were right on Mission Beach boardwalk so could be a little noisy at times. One evening we had a Hari Krishna group doing their thing under our balcony but they eventually moved on. Close to lots of good food options. Ice cream at Pacific Beach Ice Cream is the best!

Our room had a “partial” ocean view, but with a very well placed wall of mirrors we actually had an ocean view all the time! The room was large, clean & comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. But the real star of this hotel is the beach access and the amazing views! I would definitely stay here again!
