Pacific Terrace Hotel - San Diego

I was here for a business trip and loved my stay! Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, and right on the ocean. I street parked to avoid the $20/night rate, which was a little tight but didn't have a problem through the week. Will definitely stay here again.

very nice

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Over all the hotel was the nicest I've stayed in so far.. I paid a little over $400 a night and stayed 5 nights for that price and length of stay it would of been nice to have free parking and or breakfast included. Hotel staff was great but I probably wouldn't go back again when I could get the same view for a better price with things included.

I love that this hotel is on the beach, had a fairly large room with kitchen, the decor is elegant tropical and the hotel itself is conveniently small. However it's most outstanding feature is the wonderful customer service. Every employee was friendly and eager to do whatever they could to help your stay be enjoyable. I had the least expensive room, […] "no view", but I had a small patio with views of plants, the side street, walkways and a speck of the ocean. The $22 parking fee is unpleasant,however, while checking in, the front desk person encouraged me to check around for free parking before paying. I was able to find a spot on the street near my room. It was safe and free. I'll definitely stay here again when I come back to San Diego. Read more

Great pool right next to the ocean, the beach in the backyard, impressive view , enjoyable balcony. I love how this hotel is designed to help you get the most out of staying on the beach. Proximity to Konos for breakfast is a bonus. Can not wait to go back.

We did not like the wood frames around the beds. It made it very difficult. To get in and out of bed. Poor choice by the decorator.

I love the beach so this was a perfect way to spend a few nights before meeting up with our family. The price was sweet too! The hotel is right on the walkway next to the beach, and a great place to relax, walk and see the sights. We loved the hotel and the front desk personnel were so friendly and gave us a great restaurant choice too. They even let […] us borrow a laptop charger. Read more

We've stayed there before. We booked this at the last moment and were thrilled to see it was just as great a place as it was years ago. If only we'd had more time! Right on the ocean.

Not sure what i can say that i have not already said about this place the numerous other times i have been. Love the location, love the rooms, love the pool. Service is excellent everytime i have been. Booked on hotels.com for a great price and then was able to upgrade to a suite for a low cost. Could not have asked for a better view of the ocean. Recommendations […] for a restuarants by the staff were more than great! Will ALWAYS stay here when in Pacific Beach! Read more

Last minute getaway with wife. We had an awesome time, We stayed in the junior suite. Only problem was the shower was small and simple for such a nice place. Other than that, perfect and couldn't ask for something better at the price. We liked how we could walk anywhere in PB

This hotel is the best kept secret in San Diego. From the views, to the staff and everything in between it was absolutely amazing. Very clean and upscale design. The staff was in incredibly personable and delightful. As close as you can get to the beach possible and they just surpassed our best hotel experience we had in Hawaii. This is a MUST STAY […] at hotel. Read more

I love the Pacific Terrace!! Neither my husband or I were fond of the heavy bed frame as it was clumsy to get in and out of. minor point. The amenities were awesome. Iced tea, lemonade and fruited ice water available all day. Huge bowl of fresh fruit at desk. Fresh cookies for an afternoon snack and chocolates at turn-down. They had an umbrella holder […] in the lobby on a day it was supposed to rain. The hotel was meticulously kept and beautifully furnished. The staff was a delight!! Very friendly but genuinely so, not gushy. Its small size makes it well-attended and intimate. Great attention to details. All this AND a view of the ocean from your bed!!! Read more

Beautiful spot. Staff was awesome. Even lent me a charger for my phone. Gave us a complimentary bottle of wine for our anniversary. Very clean place. Look forward to going back some day again.

I've been going to San Diego for years and this by far is the best hotel I've ever stayed at.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Outstanding location and view. We loved our room and balcony. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Beautiful pool and whirlpool. Although it would be nice to have a full service restaurant in the hotel, there are many restaurant options nearby, so this is not a significant problem. Small suggestions: you need grab bars in the bathtubs, and more […] towel racks in the bathrooms. Read more

Very pleased with the service and requested room upgrade at a reasonable price. Very accommodating, and we loved the beachfront view. If you're looking for a beach front place to stay, but not at a 4-5 star price - then the Pacific Terrace is a great choice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is amazing to say the least! When we walked into the room, it was pure bliss! All I can say is make sure you get a room with a balcony facing the beach. This room was nicer and cleaner than some of the hotels in Las Vegas! The furniture was polished, bed sheets clean and the bathroom did not have an ounce of mildew. This room has two double […] sinks, microwave and a small refrigerator. The bed was so comfortable that I did not want to get up and eat breakfast! Having a great night sleep is a must in order to enjoy the following day! We did not see one bug in this room, which was great! We refuse to be in a room with a bunch of bugs parading across the carpet! Also no flying insects was heard! I can not sleep with numerous bugs flying over my head playing the sound track to Apocalypse Now. The attention to detail and great customer service with this hotel reflects great credit upon the staff and the hotel industry! Read more

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The rooms were clean and nice with great views of the ocean. The location was great, there are several restaurants and local shops within walking distance. I would definately stay here again.

This was our first stay at Pacific and it will not be our last. We always wondered why Pacific Terrace received such great ratings, and now we know why! First of all, the hotel rooms are immaculate, warm, inviting and beautiful. They offer unbelievable views of the ocean. The hotel and grounds are extremely well-kept. It is in a great location. One […] can walk to just about anywhere needed to go - grocery store, pharmacy, shopping, restaurants, the beach, salon, laundromat, bank... you name it! Most of all though, the staff at Pacific Terrace provide top-notch service and little personal touches that set this hotel apart from all the others! For example, the valet asked about our plans for the day. We explained that we were going to the Safari Park which is located in a hot, dry area up in Escondido. When he brought our car we found he had provided us with 2 bottles of cold water for the trip! Additionally, in our room was a card with our housekeepers name and picture on it (I will attach photo). It was nice to be able to wave and greet her by name as we passed in the hallway. Each evening along with the bed turn down (and chocolates) we were provided with a paper which outlined the weather for that night and the following day. It also provided names and photos of the staff working the night and day shifts. Pacific Terrace is a small hotel which allows for exceptional, personalized service. It felt good to be greeted by name rather than treated like a "number." Read more

Just finished our 2nd visit to Pacific Terrace and it's still as wonderful as we remember. The friendliest and most helpful staff, perfect location, and super relaxing vibe. My daughter wasn't feeling well on our last day of vacation and Enrico went above and beyond to accommodate our situation. This is one of the many reasons we'll be back. Hotel […] is within walking distance of everything you need in PB. My teenagers' favorite restaurants are Taco Surf and Konos. Of course, we always make the pilgrimage to In N Out since we don't have in our city. Only small suggestions would be to upgrade fitness center and bathrooms. Otherwise, rooms and common areas very comfortable and well maintained. Also, perhaps offer ala carte choices (vs buffet) in restaurant. Though we've stayed in five-star hotels, Pacific Terrace is still our favorite! Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is a gem of a hotel. The staff is exceedingly friendly and well trained. They're just "on it." For example, when we checked in our room wasn't ready (we were early), but they offered us towels for the pool, promised to call right when our room was ready, and asked if we wanted to store our luggage while we waited. These might not seem extraordinary, […] but what made it so was that we didn't have to ask for any of these - they offered them before we had to. Our room on the second floor as billed as a partial ocean view, but we could see all of Crystal Pier and plenty of ocean and the surfers from our balcony. The kids loved the pool area and the free cookies that are offered at 4pm. A nice touch. We were able to find street parking every day, which I think would be difficult in busier months (we were there early January). We really enjoyed the Thai restaurant Narraya down the street. The Fat Fish Cantina is overrated and I'd avoid next time. Read more

There aren't enough good words - this place is first-class all the way, from the excellent staff, stunning location, charming neighborhood and superb beach front location, this place has it all (including guaranteed parking [pay-but worth it] in a gated garage). The tropical Tommy Bahama decor of the rooms is so soothing - tropical, warm and first  […] rate. Read more

I have stayed at the hotel 8 TEs this year. The hotel Needs to keep in mind returning customers should have a better choice of rooms.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location of the hotel is amazing; the beach is a few feet away; the pool area was beautiful and there are a lot of bars and restaurants around. My favorite part of the trip was running the path on the beach next to the hotel. The parking is super expensive and the breakfast is worth skipping.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Loved the hotel, but wasn't totally satisfied with the "FULL" Ocean view I'd paid for. We had nothing but palm trees in front of our balcony that obstructed the ocean view. Next time, I'd ask for another room or downgrade the partial ocean view. Lovely hotel though.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We have stayed in the area before, and now would never stay anywhere but here. The other hotels in the area do not compare in the slightest. You are directly on the boardwalk, but don't here the night people-traffic that you would when staying elsewhere. Stay here, it is worth every penny.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Beautiful location right on the beach. I travel a lot to San Diego on business and have stayed at many different hotels, this is one of my favorites. I have stayed here twice, both times the 'partial ocean view' had a full view with a patio literally 20 feet from the ocean boardwalk. The pool area and grounds were cleaned every morning and in good shape, […] the rooms are spacious and very comfortable with nice furniture and cushy pillowtop beds. Big bathrooms and dressing areas. Only complaint is the shower glass doors leak so be sure and put a towel down to soak it up. The staff is very friendly, and there are many good dining options close by - but keep in mind that Mission Beach is generally geared to a younger college age crowd, if you have teenagers with you they will love it.

Great Little Gem of a Hotel right on the Beach. We loved the pool, hot tub, bike paths and the local restaurants and the scene. The ocean views form our room were amazing. Being right on the beach is key for us and we could leave our sliding door open and hear the waves at night. Excellent hotel and a relaxing vacation.
