The carpet was dingy and room smelled like dog. Sitting out on the patio we observed visitors having a hard time to park. Public cars or visitors “non customers” were taking up the parking. Each room should have an assigned parking. We’ve stayed there for the past several years but we were a little disappointed this year.

Our stay was just okay. The location is great but we had some troubles with our room. We weren’t told that we needed to specifically request maid service upon check in - on our first day we put the “maid service requested” sign on our door and when we returned at the end of the day, our bed was not made. I went to the front desk and they told me that sign doesn’t work and we needed to specifically put a request in. At that time, I put the request in for the following day and when we returned after another long day, our room again was not cleaned. The dead bolt on the door was loose (someone could definitely push through the door if it wasn’t locked) and the lock on the bathroom window was also loose and did not have a screen, which was concerning as we were on street level. We wouldn’t stay here again on our next trip to San Diego.

Rooms are pretty standard. Was fine for what we needed and close to the beach and dining options/coffee. There was a janky looking cart outside of our room for wet towels and laundry (not appealing to have that be the first thing you see when you walk outside your room). Maybe they can move it to a different location rather than outside some of the rooms. It is a cheaper option hotel so it’s not shocking it’s not top-tier. If you’re fine with no-frills hotel and easy beach access, this is a good option but if you’re looking for a more luxurious stay, this isn’t it.

Great little beach motel, just steps from the sand. Our room was clean, the two queen beds were very comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Their rates are very reasonable (we paid about $300/night in season mid-June mid-week). The complex was quiet at night, and parking on-site was easy. Good bars and restaurants a five minute walk away. We'd stay here again, no question!

This is an older property. We stay here for the location. We had an upstairs room, the railing on the stairwell is very loose and seems very dangerous. If someone fell it would not be good. The room was either too hot or too cold.
I don’t love it but I’m sure we will stay again so we can be close to the beach.

I booked this hotel over the nearby others because of the free parking. I wish I would have just splurged. We stayed for 5 nights. The AC was SO loud and annoying, my feet were filthy from the floors, the street noise was loud, there was also street construction 2 of the days, not the hotels fault, I wish there had been more storage inside, bathroom was small. It was close to the beach and parking was free, but we really didn't enjoy the stay all that much. We really considered eating some of the money and moving hotels for a few of the nights.

This Inn is in a very convenient spot for accessing all that Pacific Beach has to offer. The check-in process was quick and the room met our expectations with the amenities we wanted.

My only advice is to make sure you read the room descriptions and choose the appropriate room. We didn't and incorrectly assumed that all rooms had an outdoor seating area. Ours did not. It wasn't the Inn's mistake; it was ours.

Nice hotel with reasonable rates right off the boardwalk in north Pacific Beach. My only notable issues were that I was not told that housekeeping was on an \"as-requested\" basis. Fine by me, but that should have been mentioned during check-in. But what irked me more was that I requested a late check out, and was told by one person at the front desk that I would be given until noon before any additional charges applied (normal check-put is 11:00 a.m.). Mind you, I started the whole conversation by introducing myself with my full name and room number. Based on that, I then planned to depart no later than noon on my checkout day. At 11:30, while I was waiting for my ride to pick me up, I stopped by the front desk to let them know that I was still in the room, but planning on leaving within the next 30 minutes (again, introducing myself with my full name and room number). The front desk person working had no note of my \"approved\" noon checkout time or previous conversation. They made it sound like the late fee clock starts right at 11:31 a.m. and they were doing me a big favor by letting me stay until noon (I actually ended up leaving before that, which I was happy to do, since I no longer felt welcome). Other than those two minor issues, I would recommend that property, as along as you know what to expect. Anything that close to water shows wear and tear much more quickly than an inland property. For their prices, you have to cut them some slack on that front.
