This hotel was lovely and in a great location! My only issue was that the fridge was leaking in my room and the blow dryer wouldn’t work, and with the reception desk being located a couple of blocks over, I had to walk over there with wet hair to find a solution. But the staff were very accommodating and it was no problem to let me use another vacant room to blowdry my hair :) There are so many amenities close by - I would definitely stay here again!

Check in was a breeze and they allowed an earlier check in without charging an extra fee. Free parking pass was issued for Diamond Inn and/or their sister properties if Diamond was full, which added to the convenience of finding parking.

Nice beach stay with a far check in

It was a good stay and very comfortable. It's right next to the boardwalk for the beach and is good for a morning stroll. The only issue is that check in is off site and you need to walk about a block away to check in. This wouldn't be too big an issue if they found a way to communicate this before you check in. I had to walk around the whole hotel just to see a tiny sign on a small door that said check in is a block north.

Great location in Pacific Beach.

This place is the perfect location right next to the beach north of Chrystal pier in Pacific Beach. There is limited parking, but we got there about 3:30 PM in the afternoon and had no problem. Places to eat and the beach are very walkable so we didn’t have to get back in our car until we checked out. It has a little kitchenette that we will take advantage of next time and probably stay longer. Check-in is at a different property about a block up. It was very clean and nice and we would definitely come back again. We also had a good price since it was February. I think next time we will also bring our bicycles because it’s a great place to ride your bike.

Great location, only steps from the beach. Onsite parking is very limited. Rooms are nicely furnished but have a damp/musty smell. This is common with all hotels by the beach.
