Excellent customer service, very friendly and helped me turn on the lights (special lights activated by a key). Easy access to shops, restaurants, and right on the beach. Parking can be tricky, but you can purchase a spot for $50 if they have availability.

This adorable little Inn is in a perfect location to walk to restaurants and coffee shops then head out for a day at the beach. The rooms are so cute with everything you need! The air conditioning worked great to keep the room the perfect temperature. All of the staff was so friendly and helpful. This is a place we will visit again!

The location is AMAZING! There is zero parking. Cleanliness is subjective. Maid service is every three days, but price was great! So, I guess you pay for what you get.

The location could not be beat - fantastic!! Most of the staff were so kind and lovely. The room was clean, but a little stark - no art on the walls. The bathroom was remodeled and really pretty - but the shower curtain was really annoying (kept sticking to me) and made the shower uncomfortable. A couple things were broken too, but they were very responsive to getting them fixed. GREAT place if all you're doing is mostly sleeping there!!

This place was perfect for me. Right on the beach with ocean views from my room. Staff was very nice and helpful. Room was clean, recently updated and so close to everything! Restaurants, shops, coffee spots and bars all right there! Cannot wait to come back. One thing to note - there is no ice at the facility.

The staff were friendly and i appreciated the texts to let us know about refreshing the towels and linen. however, the bathroom door broke and the repair was inadequate and there was a horrible smell from the bathroom drainage. furthermore the AC did not work so the room was always humid and required us to open the windows constantly which meant it was noisy. The parking was a nightmare unless you paid extra for a spot by the hotel.

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.

Room was small but adequate. The acoustics are terrible! We were up all night due to guests in the room above us being inconsiderate ALL NIGHT LONG allowing us to get virtually no sleep. The next night the guests were also annoying but primarily due to the insufficient noise barrier. Also, the hotel does not offer ice but we were told to go down the street to the local liquor store! Parking is a nightmare and VERY expensive.

This is a no frills boutique hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. They provided shower needs along with a hair dryer. There was a pod coffee maker and a small fridge. We had two full-size beds which were comfortable. Don't expect on-site parking. There is ample parking nearby. Just watch the signs because there is street sweeping.
The staff was amazing. Everyone we met was helpful and very nice. The location of the hotel is just amazing. You can hear the ocean at night. You're walking distance to everything you need but tucked away on the \"quiet\" side. I would definitely return. Thanks, Pacific View Inn!

I do not agree with not staffing a hotel after 9. Many people arrive late from traffic or late planes. There were too many texts and messages for people traveling to keep up with. I do not agree with the form sent for authorization of charges because it was vague and does not explain amount or what its for. Most hotels state for example, \"there is a 50 dollar charge hold for room incidentals that will come off your cards after x days\". That is very clear. Your form is not clear and not a binding agreement Id agree too without more specifications. Also there is no way to get a paper copy of the agreement from an online form in case you do not agree with charges after the fact.

Staff was nice and property was in a good area and clean. Room is clean. Good review there.

When we arrived I talked to the front desk lady who said that even though I noted on my reservation that I needed a parking space, she said I should have called. She was so… rude. Clearly she doesn’t belong working in the hospitality industry. When I said, “So, you suggest I should park on the street?” She said she wasn’t suggesting anything. While it wasn’t so much what she said, it was as her tone that left a bad taste. This is not the way you want to greet guests. Everyone was nice after that first encounter.

The room was extremely loud. We stayed on the first floor and the upstairs guests kept us up all night every night. I don’t recommend this Inn if you’re traveling with children.

The location is nice and there are great restaurants within walking distance. You can’t beat the price. If you decide to stay here, stay in an upstairs middle room, unless you don’t mind noise.

We had a double room at the back of the hotel. While it was adequate, it felt very overpriced for what it was. I understand the beach is the main attraction and likely drives the pricing, but we were disappointed with the room itself—no view and very confined.

The location was awesome, walking distance from several top rated restaurants/coffee shops and right on the beach! The staff was very friendly, and the accommodations were clean. As someone with young kids, we also enjoyed the sand toys, chairs and towels that were available for use. The hotel walls are fairly thin, so expect to hear some noise from outside and neighbors. It wasn’t a big deal for us since we were up early, but if that’s important I’d consider a top floor. Parking is as you would expect in a busy city, but we were able to find city parking nearby during our stay. We will be back!

Our initial room on tge 2nd floor had an amazing ocean view, but was too small. We kept banging
our shins on the platform bed trying to across the bathroom. The bathroom sink had no counter space. We moved to the 1st level which was much larger and more comfortable, however only a couple sidelight windows and no view. Of note, there is no microwave, ice or bottled water. Housekeeping was not great; at most they dropped clean towels on the bed, took the soiled towels and emptied the trash. On a positive note, the rooms are clean and the location is incredible! Everything is within walking distance, including the ocean, restaurants, grocery store, CVS and public transportation. For a few dollars, you can get to Old Town, the zoo, downtown, Seaport Village, etc. The lobby staff are very accomodating and have lots of complimentary items to borrow (i.e. beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, board games, sunglasses and more!) Overall, we were pleased with our stay.

I never felt discriminated , was just asking to reserve but she was unhelpful and decided to book with expedia. Also our wifi didnt work for our entire stay, reported the problem during the first day and the following day and no solution was given . They were trying to blame our devices.

Make sure to ask Joe to turn the lights on in the unit, as it requires a room key to activate lighting. The phone connectivity in the room is very limited due to building type construction. The property WiFi is on the poor side, so if you need internet or phone service, you’ll have to step outside to the front of the property. This is with Verizon or T Mobile service. The porch light that activates at dusk and stays on until sunrise is located directly outside the window which is located directly in front of the bed. Your room will be lit up when it’s sleep time. I would recommend a sleep mask. I would highly recommend a parking permit as public parking is very limited due to high activity in the area. This is not a bad property, just some little things that can be annoying. Enjoy the stay..
