Judith
Great location! Lots of good restaurants around. Quiet rooms and very clean. We got a full beach experience staying there. The only drawbacks were parking, but there isn't a lot of parking at PB anyway. The good thing is there's 3 properties to choose from to park. We naver had to park more than a block away for parking. The rooms came with a decent size fridge and two burner hot plate. But you need to bring your own cookware and kitchen ware. We had our windows open alot when it was cool. They allow pets. Decent internet and we were very comfortable. Good location for a beachside property and if you plan on spending lots of time at the beach and boardwalk.
esmeralda
It's a good place, near the sea.
Rada
It’s my second time staying in this hotel. I really love the location - right by the beach.
The rooms are clean and reasonable renovated.
On a negative side - parking is somewhat limited. The bathroom could benefit from a bit more shelf/ stool space to lay out toiletries. There was no counter around the sink, and no convenient location to hang my hanging toiletries bag.

First experience I had was with the lady at PB surf who checked us in but was probably the rudest person I have ever experienced. It was to a point where I had to interrupt her and ask \"please do not speak to me in that way\" and immediately her tone changed a bit. I can't believe someone with that kind of attitude would work at a front desk. We stayed at the Diamond Head Inn & the drive from PB Surf was not bad at all. DHI was pretty decent but the only bad part was that there was a weird smell coming from the bathroom, possibly the shower drain. We stayed for 3 nights and had to constantly spray air freshner and keep the door closed. Kitchen was a big help and bed was super comfortable. I usually work nights and prefer black out curtains but suprisingly, it did not bother me one bit that there weren't any in the room. Best part of the DHI was location from the beach. You're literally steps away and not paying insane prices as some other hotels charge. Would definitely stay here again. We found parking reserved for the hotel by chance and did not move our car for three days and walked to nearby restaurants and coffee shops. Overall, if it weren't for the first impression of the lady being extremely rude and the bathroom smell, I would give 5/5 for this place. But still, I definitely recommend it!
Crystal
The Diamond Head is a classic on Mission Beach.
Excellent location, horrible parking.
I took my 3 sons there 35 years ago& loved it!
Remodeled, clean & the mattress was great.
Nice to have a kitchenette for a weekend.
Great staff will stay again

Parking, was not good. It was first come first serve. Ppl camp in the spots, literally.
Phones don't work. I tried calling both properties no answer. Phone in the room, busy, the whole time we were there.
Outdoor shower didn't work.
A few bit of homeless ppl.
So if you're looking for just a bed to sleep on, this is your place. But down mind all the noise from surrounding visitors. Ppl upstairs sound like elephants. Also bring some sleep mask.
Would I stay here again, probably not.

On the beach front great area
Kelly
Diamond Head Inn was a nice, clean place to stay. The parking is absolutley horrible. 5 parking spots for 21 rooms. The additional parking had signs posted not to park between the hours of 3am-6am Mon.Fri. Leaving no where to park. If you wanted ice you had to walk two blocks to a sister hotel to get... Its a nice place to stay for one to two nights but no more.
Cimone
Great stay great property you don’t need a car because everything is right there! If you have one though parking is very limited.
Lori
Solo trip, safe, clean, next to the beach, close to Dirty Birds. Was an amazing trip! Thank you!

Read the check in instructions prior to arrival. Parking wasn’t bad but pay attention to the street signs if the parking lot is full. Very clean and comfortable.
Chris
Great location and the staff was very helpful!
Victoria
Room was clean,check in was confusing,had to go to another resort to check in.

Every thing was within walking distance.

Big 1 bedrooms no view but you are right on the beach so location can’t be beat
Jennifer
Great place to stay in Pacific Beach! Its beachfront and the proximity to restaurants and shopping was convenient.
Kara
The staff was beyond accommodating! I had a weird travel schedule and they were more than happy to help in any way they could. Storing luggage, allowing for late check out and even an early check in when the room became available!! The room was beyond my expectations and you cannot beat the location. I cannot wait to stay again!
Coty
Beach was 5 min walk in total from room to actual beach. Parking is limited but it’s there.
David
The room was basic but comfortable and clean. I knocked a star off cleanliness because the bathroom sink drain needs to be unclogged (Room 110) -- slow draining. It was surprisingly quiet given its location because it is tucked down its own little alleyway, which gives the room a nice level of privacy. Parking was also surprisingly easy given its location. The location is great, right next to the PB boardwalk and beach. There is some brief ambient noise from (probably intoxicated) people out in the adjacent street late at night, but it is fairly muted in the room. This is just part of the PB night scene. The front desk is a block away at a sister hotel, but the staff was friendly and helpful.
Ashley
If you feel like being locked out of your room over five times (including once at 3am) and having to walk a block and a half each way just to get to the management office where they’re incredibly rude to you, then this is definitely this place to stay for you- this place was TERRIBLE and I had to get a refund because I was so upset- I almost had a medical emergency where I couldn’t get to my insulin so this has turned into a legal issue
David
Great location!! Very clean!
Lawrence
Room was ready before the check in. Room was clean and tidy. Beds were very comfortable. Location was great. On the beach and close to great restaurants and shops. Good walking location. Thank-you for the experience. We will come back.
Hassan
Great location
Kathryn
Clean room, spacious, and well located
Cindy
Overall, nice location and friendly staff. I would have liked a better room location with ocean views, but that was my mistake. Room was comfy and clean. Good place for the price!
Maki
I couldn’t find the check in counter.
There was no place to park.
I had no place to stay.
Fortunately I could find another place to stay.
I am considering a claim for compensation for the significant distress and fear caused by being unable to access the property, find parking, or secure accommodations, leaving me wandering in the dark at night.

Alice
You have to check in at a separate location that is several blocks away from where you’re staying. If we had to walk with all of our luggage that would’ve been very very difficult. The room itself was fine and roomie. The price was good.
Scott
We spent well over $2000 here on rooms for all of my kids and myself over Christmas 2025.Vanessa was by far the star of this resort. She made everything seamless and friendly. She went above and beyond to make our stays exceptional.
Phyllis
The room was clean, facility was adequate, it served the needs of a person more interested in the beach than a room.
Diana
Clean and comfy room. Difficult to horrible parking.
Kristeen
SUPER LOCATION and Brand new remodels! I think we were one of the first in our room. Only downside, they were completing the other 16 rooms at the same time. It was noisy during the day and parking was limited by a dumpster taking up 'our' spots.
Travis
Courteous staff. Great location.
David E

Kitchen floor dirty and room smelled. The room itself lacked amenities: dish towels , paper towels and a freezer. Checking in was a bit disappointing he wasn't too friendly. I asked for dish towels and got bath had towels. The

reuniting with family
It's the beach in San Diego for people who can't afford paying $300+ per night. If you're just going to chill at the beach, it's fine, but definitely a 70's motif. Plenty of good food/nightlife withing walking distances.
Corbett
This place is ok. Definitely an apartment building recently converted into a hotel. There is no office on the premises you gotta check in at another hotel two blocks away. Strange. The room was fine, a little beat up for the price but quiet and comfortable enough. Bed was good enough. But the location was amazing. Right on the beach far enough away from the chaos of the boardwalk but close enough to walk too. I’ll check for other places next time but I’d go back here for the right price.
Travis
Great View and nice rooms.
Mary
Ok stay, don't pay for a \"kitchen\"
The room was spacious and in decent condition.We booked a room with a kitchen with the intent of using it The kitchen was woefully under equipped. There were no drinking glasses, semi functioning mini fridge, a broken microwave. No toaster. There were were some dishes and cookeware, broken silverware, no dishtowels, napkins or placemats. No point in paying extra $$ for kitchen unit. Parking is very challenging, but having been in the neighborhood before we knew that.
Gabriel
Note that the check-in for this property is at another property a block and a half away. Limited parking an available on site so you may have to park at their other property and walk over. It’s a beachfront motel though so it’s hard to knock it!
Alina
Very clean management is very helpful
claudia
Great place! Close to everything! Would definitely stay again!
paula
The room was small but cute and clean and had a small cooktop, microwave and fridge. Awesome location just across the street from the beach. Loved it!! Would stay there again

Would not recommend
The lady at check in was moody as heck. The bathroom window wouldnt lock and the carpet is nasty
naomi
woke up with bug bits. room smelt like urine. carpet was gross. the lock on the door was damaged and we had to jiggle it in order to lock.
horrible experience , especially the elk to check in all the way to pb surf , it was annoying.

Weekend getaway
Bed and room were clean but could have used extra pillows. The windows were almost impossible to close once opened. The beach was right out the door and so were some nice restaurants which was awesome.
Breffni
Great spot if you are looking for easy access to everything PB. The rooms are a bit dated, but that’s not unusual for PB. I’d recommend for longer stays - I was only there for a few days so didn’t take advantage of the kitchen.
Denise
Parking and check in location is a little rough but over all a great place for the price.
Biniam
No parking at the property, u have to check in at a different hotel a block away.
Michael
The bed covered the windows in the bedroom.Bathroom did not have any place put cosmetics or razor.To check in you had to walk around the corner and up the street.What they did have was a great location.
David
location is great. room is good size with kitchenette. pretty clean. no ice maker, no pool, no extras
Bradley
Close to the beach and boardwalk. Penty of room in the suite. AC was great. The room was clean and everything worked.
Logistics were lacking, not enough parking to accomodate guests, overflow parking is a few blocks away and there is no 24/7 street parking in the immediate vicinity. Had to check in and out at another property which wasn't bad but slightly confusing coming in late.
Good price, good location, decent accomodations. Not a bad place if you're not expecting a 4 star resort.

Amazing location
Antonio
The property is located in an ideal location; close to everything but not in the middle of the noise. The room/suite was great, the bathroom is a bit small around the sink.
The check I. Was done at a different hotel, the directions could be better explained. Also, it would be helpful to have the other hotel’s phone number in the room for easy access.
Will definitely stay there again.

Confusing check in, limited parking. Room was clean and modern, tv didn’t work but maintenance was on it. Location is priceless.
Tara
The pictures on Expedia were very deceiving. The carpet was all stained. The couches had huge stains on them. The room smelled like mold and was very muggy, the air conditioning unit wasn’t working properly and was very very loud. We could not sleep. We left at 4:30 in the morning because the room was just too inhabitable.
Breanne
good for the price
Lisa
How close to everything from the ocean to the dining!!! It was perfect!!
Amy
Everything went well & was all smooth. The property was really nice and steps from the beach. We wish we would have stayed longer to enjoy it more. Overall, everything was nice.
leo
five parking spots for about 20 units is ridiculous specially by the beach. desk worker for check out was rude over me accidentally grabbing her pen to sign. room fans were dusty and window cover was halfway off like if someone tried to break in. did not even stay the night , chulavista ghetto motels are very much accommodating for much lower price.
Desiree
It was great
Jason Elleman
The units are WAY bigger than your traditional hotel room, are very nice, and in a great location.
Ana
Great location, multiple options for parking near the beach. Only issue was the sink in the bathroom took far too long to drain. Decent price for the location, would still stay again.

Excellent location! We never even needed the car. Right at the beach. Small complex but recently renovated and so so clean and nice! Best kept little secret. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

Clean and newly remodeled. Great location in Pacific beach right over the water

Property was clean and right near the beach but the room I got was a suite and it was tiny. Checking in was inconvenient. You had to walk a block to another hotel to check in. Mind you, this is also how far you had to walk to an ice machine. Everything in the room was placed oddly. There was a crooked picture frame in the kitchen with a sizeable hole under it. The bathroom was inside my room which made it inconvenient because the other guest sleeping on the pullout bed had to come through my room to the bathroom. There was homeless people walking around the property the whole time which I didn’t like especially since I had my child with me. The outside trashcan was also right infront of my door which caused a problem with seagulls and people constantly walking infront of my room to throw trash. The phone in the room did not work and WiFi was limited to two devices which was another inconvenience.

The smallest room is actually a small apartment. All areas had been cleaned well upon arrival. To walk anywhere is just a nice path!
The stay may be a better stay than most $200.00 rooms. I paid just over $100.00 for the single! I went out around 5:00pm after check in. Returned around 8:30 pm. The close parking spots are all taken. But the place i parked. It is only a block down a clean sidewalk. I am 3 minutes walk off the sand.

Easy stay, though no onsite management. But only a block to the other property. Cant beat the location....Beds/pillows are not very good. Actually, hard to sleep well on....but would probably stay again.

PERFECT !

Quieter PB location
Nicely updated and comfortable rooms. Great location, very walkable. Parking was a pain and not close, but still available.
Dayne
Parking sucks but the place is in a great location with everything walking distance.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY. If you are looking to stay next to the beach on a budget, this is the go-to hotel. There comes some cons with that.
The hotel is going under some construction with their front office, so check-in is about a 5 minute walk to their sister location, PB Surf. THIS ALSO MEANS NO COMPLEMENTARY BFAST. Not a killer, but just want you to know.
Parking is complementary for your stay, but we were lucky as we stayed during the weekdays and we were always able to find at least one spot on the Diamondhead property. They allow parking at the sister location if the parking is full though.
No ice machine. The fridge in the queen bed room had a mini fridge but no freezer. Idk about the other room selections though.
If you’re a bottom room, you should be able to hear upstairs pretty well at night.
Rooms have been updated with furniture, but I don’t think the carpet was.
Those are the cons. The pros definitely outweigh them if you are looking to stay near the beach at an affordable price with walkable tasty restaurants on one side and the beach life on the other. Had a great time on my vacation doing tours and sightseeing and this hotel does the job.

No lobby at the facility so check in was about 3 blocks away at another hotel also owned by same people.
Roberta
This hotel was lovely and in a great location! My only issue was that the fridge was leaking in my room and the blow dryer wouldn’t work, and with the reception desk being located a couple of blocks over, I had to walk over there with wet hair to find a solution. But the staff were very accommodating and it was no problem to let me use another vacant room to blowdry my hair :) There are so many amenities close by - I would definitely stay here again!

I would have given this property all five stars except for: no hot water at the kitchen sink; no hot water at the bathroom sink. Otherwise, I really enjoyed my stay there!
Richard
Mold everywhere this place is nasty. They made me stay in a room They were using a blow torch to clean mold off the walls with is was disgusting. !!! Worst stay I’ve ever had!!!
James
Check in was a breeze and they allowed an earlier check in without charging an extra fee. Free parking pass was issued for Diamond Inn and/or their sister properties if Diamond was full, which added to the convenience of finding parking.
Jessica
Loved that it was next to the beach and easy to locate!
Joseph
Nice beach stay with a far check in
It was a good stay and very comfortable. It's right next to the boardwalk for the beach and is good for a morning stroll. The only issue is that check in is off site and you need to walk about a block away to check in. This wouldn't be too big an issue if they found a way to communicate this before you check in. I had to walk around the whole hotel just to see a tiny sign on a small door that said check in is a block north.

Run down room on the beach
It was in a rough area and the room felt a little run down. It served it's purpose but I wouldn't stay there again
Shannon
OK room, carpet filthy, no parking! Great location right at the beach!
Lisa
Great location in Pacific Beach.
This place is the perfect location right next to the beach north of Chrystal pier in Pacific Beach. There is limited parking, but we got there about 3:30 PM in the afternoon and had no problem. Places to eat and the beach are very walkable so we didn’t have to get back in our car until we checked out. It has a little kitchenette that we will take advantage of next time and probably stay longer. Check-in is at a different property about a block up. It was very clean and nice and we would definitely come back again. We also had a good price since it was February. I think next time we will also bring our bicycles because it’s a great place to ride your bike.
Robert
Great location, only steps from the beach. Onsite parking is very limited. Rooms are nicely furnished but have a damp/musty smell. This is common with all hotels by the beach.
Eva
This location is fabulous. And the view is great!
