Our Pacific Beach Hotel

Great room with ocean views

Location is great, oceanfront. Room is clean and big enough, price is reasonable. Only downside is no AC but not a biggie

My family rented four rooms at the Diamond Inn with one being a wheelchair bound room! Loved our four day stay. We were there from 10/09-10/12/2026, hurricane Rachel rolled in and out with not much damage to the ocean walls. We slept like babies as the windows blocked the outside sound. Our rooms were very clean and the staff were very respectful and helpful with anything we needed. The beach is within 500ft from the Inn. The sound of the morning beach waves while drinking your cup of Joe is so tranquil. I give this place a five star review as our stay was very relaxing!!

I stayed here on my last night in PB. What a great room. It came with a small kitchenette for less than some other super basic rooms in the same area. very comfortable bed and a great shower. I was about 100 feet from the sand of the beach. my only gripe is that I had to go to a sister property to do check in.

Walking distance to beach nice

all round great experience def recommend. the outside area was super clean, rooms were right next to the beach. Thank you so much to Jim, you run this place to its excellency. from the start i felt welcomed by Isabella while checking in to checking out with Marwa both are the loveliest human beings ever. Patty is amazing she helped me get back into my room and was so helpful in all aspects. Thank you to the cleaning staff, the room was supper tidy. great experience overall would return!

Newly Renovated rooms and suites, steps from the beach! Diamond Head Inn is a hidden gem in Pacific Beach. This ocean front hotel offers a luxury location at a fraction of the price, with a friendly staff, and very clean newly remodeled and refreshed rooms (remodeled 2026)! Suites at Diamond Head Inn are well worth the price; with some rooms offering a kitchen, living room and separate bedroom (approx 450 sqft)! It was perfect for our extended stay and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for the best value in Pacific Beach; without the brand name hotel-chain price. If you want to stay in the heart of the action, in a highly walkable location along the beach boardwalk, Crystal Pier, Palisade South Park and Tourmaline Surfing Park, Diamond Head Inn is perfect for you!

Our stay at Diamond Head with suite 108 was fantastic, you will not find better value for location, condition, and walkability! Pet friendly! Only a few steps to boardwalk or beach. Friendly staff and management!

Clean room, great location (of course). The only thing you won’t like is the parking, there is none. You will have to fight for a spot on the street somewhere. Good luck.

First time in San Diego and glad I chose this spot. Came in early to drop off bags and by chance the staff checked and saw the room was ready. Overall great service from all the staff. Only steps from the beach and walking distance to nearby bars and restaurants. Room itself was far better than what I expected. Water pressure was great, bed was clean, not a single stain on anything and no odor - this would be one of the best hotel stays I've had. Only negative is that the pool at their sister hotel isn't heated but this trip was in February so can't complain about that. Would recommend to others and if the price is still good, would book this again.
