  A Great Beach Find

  01 Feb 2026

  We wanted an inexpensive beach getaway and were really happy to find Pacific View Inn. Pacific Beach is a little too busy for us but the inn offered a quiet atmosphere. Definitely worth paying for the parking spot in front of the inn. The room was a nice size. Two things we would like would be to have access to ice and fluffier pillows.

  Outstanding Stay!

  From the staff at the front desk to the team that took care of the rooms absolutely outstanding. If you like quality for the price and a fantastic location (restaurants, beach, boardwalk) this is the place. Highly recommend!

  We love the Catamaran, but not for the price. The Beach Cottages are charming, but not nearly as incredible as this hotel — and their staff. A HUGE thanks to Jose. Our sray has been beyond perfect, and we are so sad to leave to head to Carlsbad. From the fire pit last night to the board games to the incredible location, and again the most perfect staff in the world and perfectly renovated + the coffee maker. Everything you can imagine needing, like a perfect be, this hotel delivers. Don’t even think about anywhere else.

  No frills, but very clean room with great view.

  21 Nov 2025

  This is more like a motel than a hotel, but I thought it was a very nice, no frills place in a great location. It sits at the end of a street that dead ends at the ocean bluffs. I paid extra for one of the two rooms that have unobstructed ocean views on the second floor and I thought it was worth it. I could sit in bed and watch the surfers.The room was spotlessly clean when I checked in. The bedroom floor is vinyl and the bathroom is all tiled. I travel a lot for work and generally stay in upscale hotels, but let’s face it, hotel carpets are gross. I appreciated the approach taken here—just the basics: clean, tidy accommodations.Staff were very friendly and helpful. I’d definitely come back.

  Great location, nice hotel with a few pros and cons

  14 Nov 2025

  The location on Pacific Beach and Mission Blvd. is great! You can walk along the boardwalk while enjoying the ocean view. Public transportation to Old Town, then connecting to Seaport Village, Balboa Park (zoo) and downtown is really easy and inexpensive. LOTS of nearby restaurants, CVS and grocery store, all within a few minutes walking distance. Hotel is 2 stories, and there's no elevator. Our first room on the 2nd floor had an amazing ocean view, but was very compact. We kept banging our shins on one of the platform beds when trying to maneuver to the bathroom. Bathroom was very tiny and, overall, the space was congested. We switched to a 1st floor room that was MUCH bigger, but did not have any ocean view. The rooms have a mini fridge but no microwave, though there is one in the lobby. There is a hair dryer in the bathroom. There's no complimentary bottled water and no ice available. We had a little trouble with the room temp., but maintenance cleaned our filter the next day and that seemed to fix the problem. The staff is eager to please, though "housekeeping" only changes your towels and empties the trash, even on multi-day stays. The lobby has lots of amenities, including beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, beach toys, board games, and items for purchase (i.e. bottled water, Tylenol). The rooms are very clean, have large screen tvs and in-room safes. Overall, pleased with our stay and recommend for beach/sightseeing stay.
