Beach Haven Inn - Pacific Beach - San Diego

Too short, but a wonderful time. Felt very safe in this location. Close to lots of restaurants and the beach.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is an older building, but has been maintained well. The staff was very accommodating. Lacking some basic amenities in the rooms, such as a blow dryer. If your looking for a cozy, comfortable, affordable, spacious room right by the beach, you can't go wrong with this hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel may have new in-room furnishings but they really need to maintain the interior of the room as well. Bathroom walls had chipped paint and dirty walls and floor. The bathroom door wood had been broken into at one time or damaged near the handle and not fixed. The dresser/counter below the flat screen TV was dirty and sticky.

i enjoyed my stay the workers where great.my room was cleaned to my liking and anytime i needed something it was there.the only thing that disappointed me was the length of time the pool and hot tub was available.other wise it was a great place to stay.everything you need is in walking distants so i saved a lot of money by not having to rent a car.

For a simple, not over the top hotel, the Beach Haven Inn served us well! The gentleman at front desk was very helpful, including taking more than a few minutes on the phone with us on the drive in, and giving directions. Great price, great location, and very suited for the Mission Beach surrounding area. It had that authentic beach-town feel. Beds […] were comfortable too. On checkout day, the other staff member even had my receipt showing my deposit refund credited back, printed before I even walked in. Maybe not the best setup for a long stay and or a big family, but def served well for a weekend with friends in need of convenience at a great price! Would do it again. Thanks Read more

We really loved being so close to the beach and the heated swimming pool. The room was comfortable but had none of the extras. The least desirable was that the bathroom sink literally had only a trickle of water coming out the entire time. We always had to use the tub facet and bend down for it. This hotel was fine for us but a lot of people probably […] would want more. Read more

This is a nice, small, one-story hotel in a great location 1 block from the beach. We had a one bedroom suite, which was small but very comfortable for 3 people. The hotel decor and amenities are basic, but overall the place was cute and clean. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for a weekend. The beds were so comfortable. Worth it.

The room was clean and the bed was comfy. Not the Ritz but they don't charge like the Ritz

I went to Pacific beach for my birthday weekend. We chose this hotel because the website photos and location to the strip of bars and restaurants weasel perfect. Sadly upon arriving the hotel was a bit run down looking. The walls were almost paper thin, so trying to sleep you heard the whole neighborhood! Also the person next door peeing! So if you […] just need a cheap place to stay while partying, here is your best bet. Read more

Ok place. 1970 check in and conformation procedures. Slow wifi, but works. Has hdtv's, but just single cable hookup. Found it pretty clean. They use old fashion door keys, which is a security issue when you are not in the room. Air condition worked well.

Very close from the beach,you can do a lot of stuff around by foot, friendly staff and there is this lady from the front desk she's very kind! I will be back!

it was a little worse than I anticipated. It is hard to believe people pay this much to stay in PB. The bed was good but I wouldnt even sit on the couch. bathroom was very old and beat up.

No frills, good location motel. Arrived late and manager had keys ready to go with easy check in.

Roomy, shabby, but pleasant enough at a great price!

With a kitchen unit it was very affordable. Older, small, but if you want a kitchen it is great for the money. It is in good shape.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the hotel was located close to the beach and local stores and restarunts. very nicely landscaped with a friendly staff. the hotel was more suited to a younger crowd, since they stayed up late. other than that it was what i was lokking for

Genuine Expedia guest review

The Beach Haven Inn was a welcome surprise. It sits about a block from the beach with lots of stuff to do within walking distance. The accommodations while not "plush" were very comfortable. The property is well kept and for the price, is worth the stay. The pool looked inviting and our room was quiet and roomy. The kitchenette was clean, well stocked […] with cooking utensils however you will need to bring your own coffee if you want it in your room. There is just steps away coffee in the lobby that was fresh and free. The staff was more than willing to help out when my battery on my car needed a jump, this was way beyond expected. For this beach community where parking is limited, the Beach Haven has lots of free parking onsite which is a plus. It was great to wake up and go for a morning walk and watch the surf. We will definitely go back. Read more

Staff was friendly and helpful does have limited parking but staff was also helpful with finding additional parking if the hotels parking was full. Close to all the local bars, food and beach. Room was clean and looked nice.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel room was one of the older rooms. Not as pictured. Room was outdated, falling apart and kind of ddepressing. Nice proximity to beach. Beach is beautiful from afar but littered with tons of seaweed and flies which feed on it. Area is ok. Woke up the first morning to the sounds of a homeless person picking through the garbage for bottles behind the […] hotel at 7am. Staff is very nice however. Overpriced for what it is. Newer room might have changed my perception. Read more

Stayed here over Christmas. Was surprised at the large size of the room and antique-like furniture, but the room was very clean, if not showing its age. Liked the LCD flat screen TV, WiFi, hot tub and quiet neighborhood. Very comfortable beds. I would have liked a coffee maker in the room instead of having to go to the office every morning. Would definitely […] stay here again. Read more

When we checked in the manager was extremely rude and condescending. He let us check in early(around 1pm) but He spoke to us like we were children (I'm 34). He tried to upgrade us to a room with a kitchen and when we declined he explained our room was very small and we would feel crowded. (thanks?). He charged us $10 extra per night for each additional […] guest which is understandable except we explained the 2 extra guest were leaving a day early and we were still charged for that day. The rooms were small but were comfortable but did have a musty mildew smell. I will not stay there again or recommend this hotel based solely on the attitude of the manager who checked us in.

This hotel has a lot of character. It's no bellagio but it does the job and the staff was very nice. All bars and touristy attractions are with in walking distance. Definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Small but cosy, quick and easy getting in and out they had all my keys ready for me when i came at 1am so nice convienent to beach and bars/shops walking distance. the beds are so confy.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It's not fancy but the rooms are clean and it's stumbling distance to the many bars in PB. I've stayed there twice and will do so again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great location, 1/2 a block from beach. Motel is kind of old, but the rooms are clean, and the pool is great. We had a one bedroom suite, which was basically like a small apartment (with a full kitchen).

Genuine Expedia guest review

Upon checking in to the Beach Haven Inn, my party and I were greeted by a very eccentric front desk employee who proceeded to turn what I thought would be a very smooth check-in process into a half-hour long ordeal. Copies of driver's licenses, verifying current addresses, collecting our phone numbers, etc were all part of this long and arduous check-in. […] At first, I was very unhappy with how everything was going, as my party and I had just driven a long way to get to San Diego to get to our hotel close to the beach. After the check-in process was finally completed and we actually saw our rooms, everyone's attitude changed. The rooms were very up-to-date, nice granite showers, air conditioning, four-posted bed, flat screen TV, the works. My favorite part about this hotel is the neighborhood that it is located in - Pacific Beach. We were surrounded by everything that we could want, including a short 5-minute walk to the relatively clean beach. I would definitely recommend this location to other travelers looking for a place to stay in Sand Diego close to the beach. It's not the most beautiful hotel and doesn't offer the usual amenities of the big hotel chains, but for your money - this is the place to go. Read more

My wife and I stayed a wonderful five nights at Beach Haven Inn. Considered a budget priced accommodation, the building is obviously older, though it is quite apparent they take pride in what they have to offer their guests and have made repairs and upgrades as needed. Our room was clean and we slept well on our comfortable bed. The large shower had […] no problems with hot water or water pressure. The pool and hot tube are well kept and clean. We found all the staff to be polite and friendly. One of our main considerations when choosing Beach Haven Inn was location, and we were not disappointed! It is about two minutes walking distance to the beach and the boardwalk, and is on Mission Blvd. with its shopping, restaurants and nightlife. We found no need to use our vehicle the six days we were there. We recommend that if you are looking for a clean, comfortable, friendly and convenient place to stay, while visiting Pacific Beach & Mission Beach, that is also well priced for the area, then Beach Haven Inn should be considered.

The hotel is in a great location, and the reason that we stated there. Good price as well. The guy at the check in that has been there for 3 years is pretty rude and treated everyone in the roomas idiots. The room was cute for what it is. I am pretty sure a group of feral cats partied in there the night before because it smelled like cat pee. We were […] impressed with the maid service and how clean she was able to make the room with having 4 people in there and it being sooo tiny. Read more

We stayed here for our mini vacation in Pacific Beach. Our objective: beach access. comfortable and clean. pool and hot tub. convenient to other SD attractions. Modest price. The Beach Haven Inn, met or exceeded our expectations. The Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was no luxury room, but clean and comfortable for sure. The pool was and hot […] tub were nice. The hot tub did have some sand in it from the beach. I guess some other guests used it as a bath tub. But we were considering the other hotel on the block which was right on the beach and a couple hundred dollars more per night. So we felt we made a good compromise as we walked barefoot in our swim gear to the beach. The flat panel tv was ok. Not that big, but the digital cable was hard to navigate and quite choppy. We didn't watch a lot of tv. Could have used more outlets for our electronic gadgets. An mp3 player/clock/radio like an ihome is a cheap thing to have in a hotel which makes the stay SO much better.

This hotel is older but the bathrooms were clean and the rooms were a good size. It was about a block to all of the bars and restaraunts in Pacific Beach and 2 seconds from the beach. If you are looking for a newer or nicer hotel stay at the Pacific Beach Terrace right next to it, but be prepared to pay a lot more. I would stay here again for sure.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Cheap room compared to the other hotels in the area... room was clean, but the bathroom had moldy baseboards. lots of night noise and random people digging for trash.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I thought we'd be on the beach. I thought "recently renovated" meant stuff was fixed. I wish I'd stayed at the Comfort Inn at the freeway. I knew the neighborhood was noisy, but there were extra drips from the back, roars from the air cooler, etc. The AM staff was friendly, and I left not feeling quite as bad about my selection.

The room was perfect for me. Nothing really fancy but every thing I needed.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We enjoyed our stay overall. The beach was in walking distance and the view once there was awesome. The beds were very soft and comfortable. My youngest didn't want to get out of the bed because it felt so good. I was on his page of course. I value good sleep. The building was old and the walls were very thin. Our first night was interrupted by drunkards […] coming back from where ever they got drunk at. They were outside but it was so loud it sounded like they were at our door. That was a little scary at 3 am. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. The boys swam in the heated pool and the staff was very courteous. When I checked out they gave me a little conpensation for our woes. Read more

The Good, Beach Haven is 1 block from the beach, where you can rent bikes and other stuff, there are alot of Restaurants and Bars, and shopping as well. You can take a walk or play in the sand, volleyball nets are all over the place. The Hotel is good for the price, so if your looking for a cheap and clean place, this is awesome. I loved the location. […] The Staff is great, they will work with you. Rooms are clean. Wireless and kitchenette came with the Suite which is nice. Has a pool and spa in center of hotel property. Pretty much everything you need is all within walking distance. Yes i would book again because of the location and price. The bad, Hot water ran out since it was an older hotel that was expected. They just need to upgrade their hot water system, still on a Water Heater 50gal for every 3-4 rooms. You can hear your neighbors which is also expected with older hotels. So if you can put up with all that its not bad. Again for the price and location it was a great deal. Read more

The hotel was as advertised. Nothing flashy or fancy, but just enough to make my stay in Pacific Beach enjoyable. Being a block from the beach has its perks, and the hottub and pool were clean and usable. The room itself was what I expected - two beds and a bathroom. Not sparkling clean, but it was good enough for me. The staff is very friendly. The […] location was great and the price fit my budget. I would definitely stay there again. Read more

it was not facing the beach. there is no room with ocean view. but, it took only 1 minutes to walk to the beach.

or the price and location, it was great. We were not expecting much and we did not get much. We upgraded to a room with a kitchen, which was a mistake. Should have kept the regular room. I would stay there again if it was just for one night and we were not going to be in the room for very long.
