Extremely convenient and wonderful location by the beach and they have chairs, umbrellas, and all you might need to enjoy. Housekeeping service is every other day and even if they pass by something that should be addressed like my daughter spelling some powder, they will not on refresh day. A couple of times I went to someone for support they seemed put out.

For the price, I got what I expected. But definitely you can say the same thing with more hospitality in your voice and that would’ve gone a long way.

I recently stayed at this hotel and wanted to share a heads-up regarding the parking situation, which potential guests should be aware of. The hotel offers only five paid parking spots, which must be reserved directly through the hotel in advance.
Street parking is extremely difficult to navigate due to specific cleaning restrictions (Monday and Friday, 2:00 AM – 6:00 AM). The nearby public parking is quite expensive—nearly $60 for a five-hour window—and because it is billed in five-hour increments, it is not a practical solution for overnight stays. I highly recommend calling the hotel to secure a spot well before your arrival to avoid significant inconvenience.

Great location step away from the beach. Hotel has no parking even though it describes like you can book a reserved parking. You have to drive around to find a spot in public parking. That means your car park on your own risk. Customer service is 5/10. Front desk only opens till 9pm. This type of hotel is not for family with kids because the room is very small. Room condition is clean.

The location is fabulous! We were disappointed that we didn't have any outdoor space off of our room, although we had a great ocean view. Our room was nice, though very small. They should really invest in an ice machine. A bag of ice at the liquor store across the street was $5!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. We chose to find our own parking space, because hotel parking is $50 per night. That worked out after about 45 minutes driving around looking for a space! Lol.

OMGGG what a blast! My flight arrived before the actual check in time of 4pm. I was able to check in early at 1pm for a $60/$70 fee. The room I got was one king bed with a partial ocean view. The view was able to be seen on the balcony that lead to my room. Not viewable from windows which I didn’t mind. I didn’t request parking because I didn’t bring my car with me. If you do bring one, I highly recommend getting that accommodation. Parking was hard to look for whenever my friend came to see me. They also allowed guest without extra fees, as long as you let them know who is coming. As for the location overall; literally the best. Walking distance for stores, restaurants, the beach, literally anything you need. There’s also beach towels, mats, chairs, sunglasses and etc in the lobby that is first come first serve. So thankful for that because I didn’t bring any beach items so I definitely used that to my advantage. Staff is extremely helpful and kind. Including the cleaning staff, they were quick and reliable. This is not like your typical hotel with 24 hr lobby, special room service, hallways, elevator etc. This was honestly perfect operations especially since it’s located right by the beach. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I will definitely book with Pacific View Inn again whenever I’m back in San Diego!

The room was clean. Amenities are simple. The bed was very comfortable. The sheets smelled good. I’m a big guy so the shower was a little tight with wise, but other than that the water was warm and they provide plenty of shampoo. My walk to the beach took all of about two minutes. They’re in a great location on Pacific Beach, where you can walk down the boardwalk into party land; or stay on the peaceful outskirts of crystal pier, which is a whole five minute walk. This place location is great. The staff is very nice. I look forward to staying here again. I found it very peaceful.

This hotel only has 3 parking places for the entire hotel! It Does Not list that on the property details. I am not able to park and walk the mile for the parking lots they suggested. They mentioned parking on the street closer to the hotel so we drove around and around the streets near the hotel for nearly 3 hours
We finally gave up and rented another hotel with parking on site
Pacific View Did Not refund our money
They told us quote, “It was not their problem” that we could not find parking and again they would reimburse us

BEWARE ... Room has windows facing the apartment building next door. The pictures posted online are very misleading. After pre-checking in and providing vehicle information, there was no onsite parking. And there was no other parking available at all.

We arrived just after 2 pm. The room was ready, but they wanted another $45 to check in!! So, we chose to wait until a 4 pm check-in time and went to the beach for a bit. We came back at 4 pm and the office was locked with a \"Gone to Lunch\" sign.

We called both numbers for help and neither were answered. Nobody ever called back. We contacted Hotels.com and they lied about the reservation. Terrible experience.

Overall it was an okay experience. We arrived at the check in time however, our room was still not ready.

Housekeeping only occurred every second day. The room could use some more attention to detail when cleaning. High touch areas such as the fridge, door handles, and door frames (because there’s a barn door) were filthy.

We were on the lower level so we could hear footsteps above. Walls were also super thin, we could hear loud music and conversations from other guests.

The front counter closes over night so there is no one to report issues too.

With that being said, the location was great because it’s so close to the beach. If travelling with a family, I’d suggest to go during the week as there are many bars/clubs close by.

I’d recommend the hotel conduct a deep clean to ensure there is no residue from previous guests in high touch ateas and offer daily towel exchanges.

The property was clean and the rooms were as well. Parking was very hectic. The hotel only reserves 6 spots for guests at $50 PER DAY and booking a room is separate from booking a parking space so you’ll have to call them if you want a space. The hotel sends a pre-check in link on the morning before your stay but it’s a waste of time as you still have to go to the front desk and provide the same information again; they ask for your vehicle info in the pre check in but that doesn’t get you a parking space, I asked why they needed that info and was not given a response. Additionally, the bathroom in the room offered little privacy. The bathroom door slides closed but not completely, you can see into the main room from the toilet. The shower curtain also does not close fully, over a foot gap is left open making it cold and not very private considering the door to the bathroom also isn’t closed completely. Our room did not have an ocean view but the staff was very nice and the hotel offer beach chairs and umbrellas to borrow free of charge. Overall, we would not stay again as we did not like the parking or bathroom but it was still a fun trip.
