Overall an amazing experience ...

Overall an amazing experience just steps away from the beach. For the price you can’t really beat it! The room was clean and staff were friendly. My only complaints are that the tv was very small and the most important thing - FOR ANYONE STAYING AT DIAMONDHEAD YOU MUST CHECK IN AT THE SISTER PROPERTY PB SURF BEFORE ENTERING YOUR ROOM, THERE IS NOT A LOBBY ON SITE. I wish that was listed in the confirmation email or somewhere easy to find. However, I will definitely be staying again and you should too!

We have been staying here for years & wouldn’t stay anywhere else! From the manager Jim to Karla in the office & the housekeeping and maintenance staff are all very accommodating & friendly. The location is phenomenal & just steps from the beach! We will be back for another 2 weeks next January, can’t wait!!!

Another great stay in ...

Another great stay in San Diego at the Diamond Head Inn started off great again due to the warm, professional treatment by Jim the manager and staff, most notably Vanessa. Whenever you check in to the Diamond Head you can expect to be warmly and graciously welcomed by Jim the manager and his staff, most notably Vanessa. She'll get you through the check in process quickly and efficiently, and on your way to the beach. One of the first things you’ll notice is the outstanding location of the Diamond Head Inn. Views of the Pacific Beach are outstanding and are enjoyed from the balcony or can also be seen from the room. The renovated rooms are classy and comfortable with nice bedding. The unit is well stocked with cooking utensils and daily living essentials. If you find you’re missing something just call and they’ll get it right to you. Parking can be a little challenging but I have always been able to find something. My family and I will continue to utilize this family centered facility.

We had a great ...

We had a great experience at the newly renovated Diamond Head Inn. Clean rooms, the small kitchen was an added benefit, and well appointed bathroom. Check in is a block away at another hotel but the walk between the two hotels was less than 3 minutes. Walk out the door and be on the beach in less than 1 minute. For the price, we were very pleased. On one night it got very noisy. I thought it was a local bar but it was a group of friends in the room below us. Once they left to go out for the night we never heard another sound. Great value, friendly staff, we will stay again.

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.
