Not my favorite stay but if you need a place just to sleep, it’s okay. It’s an older building and not very well maintained. The outlet in our room was broken for the ac but they fixed it. The toilet flush had an issue and we had to open it and use the lever inside. I wouldn’t stay here again. But it did what it needed to do for the trip. Only pros are that you are walking distance from the beach and many restaurants.

The room had an odd smell as well as the shower, the chairs were old and looked like they were going to break, I was told I would be able to find parking at either property and I ended up having to park on the street because there wasn’t enough parking but I was not to worried about the car because the area is nice. The manager checked us in when we arrived and it was an uncomfortable experience watching her the way she treated the guests before us and the way she talked to me.

The area the Inn is located is perfect! The AC worked great and the beds were clean. All the other employees we talked to were very nice.

Other than the location and kind staff, this hotel is the worst I've ever stayed at on Pacific beach. Parking is very sparce, the construction and usefulness of the room was absurd. We had to ask for fresh towels multiple times and they don't freshen the rooms during your stay. Additionally there was no enforcement of any kind of conduct amongst the guests which resulted in all night parties, loud guests talking all night outside in the common area and loud music until 4:30am. For the price they charge, even on a holiday, it was definitely low value. We definitely will not return.

I didn’t see that you MUST contact the motel 24 hrs before your reservation even though I HAD A RESERVATION; therefore our room was not ready by the 3pm check in time when we arrived. We were told we had to wait up to 40 minutes after for them to ready the room or we could take a room with smaller beds and no price adjustment. The desk clerk was not helpful nor did she seem to care. Fortunately while we were deciding what to do there was a shift change and Rebeca got us a room the size we paid for and was very friendly. And did advise us it was a handicapped room with a roll in shower. We didn’t realize that would be a problem until we showered and there was a river on the bathroom floor. It flooded both days that we used the shower. Mopping up the floor in a $200 room was not pleasant. The motel was very close to the beach which was great; however the room itself was old and in need of remodeling (see pics) . It was clear this motel was renovating some rooms, hopefully this one is next. It was very quiet which was a nice surprise. Overall I don’t think it was worth the price unless you are staying several nights and need beach access.

We’ve been staying here for years and it was reasonably priced and clean. Beach is half a block away and the parking is included in the price. We stayed here this week and it is no longer reasonable price wise and they were renovating the property so there was not ample parking and it was noisy because of renovations. The property is worn down so it needs renovation but our room was small and run down and not reasonably priced so I will be looking elsewhere when I visit relatives in San Diego.

So the first time I stayed here it was very nice. Parking is hard to find always. However, this time I stayed. There were no plugs, refrigerator did not work, air conditioning did not work. They offered to switch my room however it was late in the evening and we had dinner reservations. Also I went to get ice and no bag for the ice bucket. Really. No bags in the room for your laundry. Construction I was not aware of. So half the parking was taken and very loud in the morning. I think they should have to tell you on the app. I will be looking for a new place to stay. The pool is advertised as heated. It is not heated. Dirty all around the pool and old nasty furniture. It’s not lie this room is super cheap.

Mold, broken floors, dirty, the toilet wasn’t attached to the floor, the sink didn’t work, plumbing didn’t work correctly, A/C didn’t work, fridge didn’t work. No clock, no phone in the room… I could go on but I was shocked for what we paid for this room. We asked for another room and were told none were available but if we left they’d refund the remainder of our stay (4 more days). We arranged with VRBO and they agreed to the refund as well but after leaving and settling else where PB Surf refused the refund. This room was not safe or livable. It should have been included in the remodels and not been rented. Absolutely disgusting in so many ways. Only benefit was the location.

Stayed for 4 nights with my 2 adult sons and daughter in the double bed room. The staff was able to find a cot for one of the siblings to sleep on for an extra $10 a night that worked out great. Very close to the ocean but have to walk 2 blocks to get to the beach. Not a big deal since the walk way was always bustling with people and I like to people watch. They have a pool but it was at their sister hotel 1 block away. That wasn’t mentioned on Expedia or at least a didn’t see it. Regardless, we didn’t even go to the pool because we were at the beach everyday. Parking was fine except one night I had to find parking on the street because spots were all taken. Not a lot of time spent in the hotel except to change clothes and sleep. All and all we had a great time!

Great access to the beach. The room was clean. Everything was good. The lady who checked us in and out at the front counter was amazing. The parking was great. We parked right next to our room and kept the spot all three days. You could see the beach from the upstairs balcony. The bathroom is small, but so are we so it was fine. For the price, we were very pleased. I have to mention the pool. It's at their sister property one block away. Very basic. Small, no spa, and not heated like they claimed. It was not open when we got there a few minutes after 10 even though the sign said it opened at 9. The lady at that front counter needs to take a lesson from the lady at the front counter of our Inn. She was not pleasant and acted put out when I asked to have it opened up. Otherwise, nothing but positive for the three days we were there.

Arrived to find the whole place under major construction. Was initially given a tiny room under the stairs next to the office, that smelled heavily of mildew and had banging from construction directly overhead. Was moved to a different room only after a long discussion with a rude and unhelpful staff person. The new room had less noise, but no overhead lights and only one small lamp, so had to use my phone light. On our second afternoon of a 3-night stay, we found there was absolutely no hot water. Let the staff know and they said they'd send someone to fix it. It was not fixed until the next morning, but was out again by that evening and never fixed, so we had to take ice-cold showers. Additionally, the advertised pool is not on or even near the property; it's a block away. The room was also never cleaned or serviced during our stay, so we had to go ask at the desk when we needed towels, toilet paper, coffee, etc. Overall, this was a deeply terrible stay at a very high price point.

Water pressure great. My older kids enjoyed sitting out in the courtyard to chill outside. Not a big chain hotel, but they're clearly working on providing good rooms as I noticed a few rooms were going through a remodel process. Would stay here again.

They were renovating so that made it very loud, starting at 7am. Some of the other guest were loud as well. One night they let a couple with 2 German Sheppards stay at the hotel and they barked loud and often. Also the parking is not good. They have about 11 spots for the whole place. They have an overflow lot at their other hotel 2 blocks away.
If you want a cheap hotel near the action and don't care too much about sleep, this may work for you.

Our room smelled horrible as if someone puked, and then they over cleaned it with bleach, only a very small window in the shower to open, stepping into the shower it smelled even worse! We told the front desk staff, and after she finished her calls on her headphones in Spanish? Not sure if it was work related? Kind of awkward... but, she let us go look at the only other available room which was next to construction (like 10 workers hammering and banging around) walked in that room and it smelled just as bad... but more moldy/musty. We ended up leaving because we couldnt stand the smell of either room. The front desk girl was understanding and kind about it. Also no mention of the pool? Did not see it nearby? Also property very run down (I'm assuming that's why there's construction? Maybe they are remodeling?) But, i felt like the photos did not match what we saw/experienced.)

Our only complaints have been that the bed wasn’t as soft as we both personally like and they were renovating all the rooms next to us. But other than that everyone was super polite and friendly and we loved how close everything was.

The room itself was very clean, easy to find everything and the sounds of the ocean were nice to hear at night. The shower was very spacious and anytime we needed towels they were very fast! Just overall very nice experience. Definitely will stay here again when we visit PB
