The hospitality crew were amazing! From check in to check out they were all very pleasant and accommodating. The rooms are spacious; however, they do not do much to keep out the noise. You can hear every sliding chair in the place. The bathroom needs major updating and a good cleaning. The lighting in the bathrooms needs to be upgraded as it is not sufficient because of the dark overhead paneling. The pool is very small and the number of chairs available can accommodate only a small number of people staying at this hotel. For the price of this hotel, almost $600 (including $44 a day for parking), it should be so much better!

Best but expensive hotel on the beach

Stayed 3 nights at Pacific Beach and the hotel was excellent. Right on the beach and beautiful view of the ocean from our balcony. Parking under the hotel was great too. Only complaint was the cost. $44 per night for parking and fees were high in addition to the nightly rate. But it's really an awesome place to stay - if you want to pay for it.

The room was spotless, the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the view was absolutely perfect. Every detail—from the service to the kindness of the staff—was spot on. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We’ll definitely be back!

The staff were wonderful- very friendly and attentive. The grounds and facilities were clean and well maintained. The hotel location is fantastic--right on the Pacific Beach boardwalk with beach access, and many shops and restaurants near by. Pacific Terrace Hotel offers free bike rentals and sand toys. Parking is difficult to find so clients are pretty much obligated to park in their underground garage at $44.00 per night. Also, if you get a balcony room facing Diamond Street you will have to deal with some street lighting getting through the shutters and some parking traffic. We stayed in room 202 which had an ice machine near the door which can get very noisy throughout the night.
