Read What Guests Say About
Our Pacific Beach Hotel

I always love staying at this hotel. You are literally steps from the beach and the boardwalk full of amazing restaurants, cafes and coffee shops. The parking is a bit of a mess but with the location, we always eventually find a spot and not move for our entire stay. We planned on 2 nights this week but the SD weather was so perfect the day we were going to check out, we decided to stay for another day. The GM honored the third night at a discounted rate that was listed online for that night only. And he gave us his email to reach out for future stays. Apparently you can only book the room with the ocean balcony by calling them directly which is good to know. We still got a great room and location, room 208. It had a nice little table and chair right outside that we would sit at in the mornings while drinking our coffee. I love how they provide you with the basics for the kitchenette they have in the rooms. The Direct TV had tons of channels even lots of movies to pick from. The walls were pretty thick and the guests seemed to respect everyone by being as quite as possible. I loved being able to open all but the kitchen windows to let in the nice ocean breeze every day. The GM did mention that they plan to start renovations in September so it'll be cool to see what they look like when we return next year. Pacific beach is my all time favorite beach in California. The vibes, the weather, the people, everything is just perfect. My ONLY minor complaints (and hopefully these will be fixed during renovations) are: The bathroom shower would somehow get water ALL over the floor to the point it was like a small pool. I had to lay down several towels to soak it up and by the end of our trip they were dripping wet. I am not really sure how this happens and made sure the shower door was closed properly. You can see some mildew along the base of the outside of the shower because of this water accumulation. And we only got one washcloth. I know I could have asked for more but it wasn't a huge deal. The sofa bed was extra lumpy and the pillows in the bedroom were not very "luxurious." One was as hard as a rock and the other was super squishy. And the "comforter" on the bed was just a thin blanket that would get tangled up with the sheet and top sheet cover they have which were both way bigger than the "blanket" was. I hope when they renovate, they use actually duvet covers and comforters for more of a "hotel" feel. The outdoor shower to rinse off the beach sand didn't seem to be working. I hope this gets fixed. It's been a few years since our first stay here but I could have sworn it worked back then. It's just nice having a place to rinse off all the sand so you don't track it back into your room. The kitchen windows didn't open in our room (208.) I'm not sure if this is on purpose when every other window worked fine but it would have been really nice to have the option to have them open when making breakfast and lunch in the mornings. I have no idea where the ice machines was and when I asked a cleaning lady she didn't speak English and couldn't tell me. There is an ice bucket in the room so I assume there was one somewhere.

Great location, friendly staff and comfortable

At one time I served the gratefully served the guests at the diamond head, the quality that is still excellent, location couldn't be better. If I want to stay, this is the place.

We enjoy staying at this hotel. The location is great and close to the beach, restaurants, and more.

Jim, Vanessa, Rebecca.. front office staff that I met were all very friendly and helpful, same experiences with several of the cleaning crew, genuinely nice and helpful staff! You can tell they care about the customer. Location is perfect in PB. Everything is near and you can take the boardwalk anywhere.. I know I live down the street but needed a place while it’s being remediated and landed at the Blue Head Inn. Rooms are a great size. Could use a freshening up but the bedding, mattresses, and pillows are like new! I always check before I lay my head :)

Perfect location, friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again

Very clean, Amelia and staff were great!

Diamond Head is my absolute favorite place to stay! Beach access is literally a hop and skip away! Only down fall is parking is a pain once you find a spot I suggest door dash or walk to your favorite food spot.

Location was perfect. I guess I would’ve liked to have an oven as well, But the stovetop managed. Just didn’t get to cook my banana bread that I was going to leave as a parting gift. Thus is life. Good stay.

Perfect location ! Right by Boardwalk and Konos ! Rooms are great ! Especially after remodel ! Great customer service Jim’s the Best ! Been coming here for years love it ! Thank you
