The Wayfarer San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The location is perfect, parking is easy and the atmosphere is fun."

Surfer Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice location, walkable to a lot of great restaurants and bars. The room seemed newly renovated and was very clean however the AC unit was very noisy! The parking lot spaces are very small and difficult to get into if you have a SUV or larger. The hotel staff very helpful and welcoming! Would definitely recommend staying here!"

Beach Haven - Near Pacific Beach Park

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely — here’s a polished but natural review: We had a great stay at Beach Haven Hotel! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and our room was a good size with a nice kitchen. The hotel was clean and had great amenities. We also loved the convenient location—it was close to the beach, restaurants, and everything we wanted to enjoy during our stay. Having good parking was a big plus as well. Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. We would definitely stay here again!"
