Stayed here for my 30th birthday staycation and it was all I could've asked and more. We upgraded to the oceanfront room and it was 100/10 worth it! Hotel within close proximity to many restaurants, bars and entertainment. Would not stay anywhere else in PB!

This is a great little property located right on Pacific Beach. I loved the fact that our room had a patio where you could sit out and enjoy the view. You can walk right out of the door and enjoy the beach or enjoy lounging around the pool while looking at the ocean. Restaurants are located close by and easily walked to.

Great location right on the beach but dated and older. The rooms are just OK with no upgrades - very basic. I would suggest sweeping the rooms daily with the amount of sand around the hotel…never really seemed clean. Loved the location on the boardwalk and seeing the ocean!
