Best Western Blue Sea Lodge - San Diego 32.79067, -117.25478

This is an aging hotel located right on the beach in San Diego. You walk out of the hotel and you're on the boardwalk. The rooms are a bit small. The rooms with an Ocean view are updated but small. The pool, hot tub, and patio have a great view. The view of the sunset from this hotel is fabulous. I recommend this hotel. There are dozens of good restaurants within a couple of blocks (Tony Romas 50 feet). The beach is 10 feet away. The boardwalk may be too much for some people, but it's just right for me....

This is a great location - right on the strand and the beach with a great swimming pool overlooking the ocean. The rooms were a little small and the TV could be upgraded, but it was very clean and nicely decorated. Very family friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel - you cannot beat the location.

Nice hotel if you are into staying up late and partying. I don't recommend it if you are looking for a quite location

My stay was wonderful. I had a full ocean view room that was a dream come true. The furniture on the balcony was comfortable and the view amazing. My room was immaculate and in good repair. The ammenities were plentiful and the bed the most comfortable I have slept on in a hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. Even though my trip was during spring break the noise level was not a problem unless you count the surf and thats why I chose to be on the beachfront. The pool/jacuzzi area were kept clean and the area was gated. I would absolutely stay again and recommend to others.

I spent two days at hotel with my daughter and while we liked being close to beach we ended up spending alot more time in downtown San Diego so did not get much beach time. The pool and spa were well maintained. The location is great for walking the beach and boardwalk.

Nice location, has a beach front. Ocean view room is prefered. Partial view, it really that, partial. Matresses are unconfortable, but other than that the hotel is fine. Clean and the Location was also good for us.

The Hotel was fine but we called to the front desk on Friday night starting at 4:00 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. due to rowdy college students staying in the two rooms next to us. We asked to be moved to another room but the hotel was booked so they couldn't move us. We asked that our first night be comped for the inconvenience and no sleep, but they said they could not do that becaue we booked our room through hotels.com. On Saturday afternoon they moved us to another room and up a floor. We finally got sleep on saturday night. However, I do not recommend staying by a beach during spring break with kids.

We got to this hotel at night and the parking lot is down a tiny alley. I didn't want to leave my car there, I worried about it all night. It wasn't well lit and with this hotel so close to the beach there seemed to be a lot of nightlife and people up all night. I wouldn't consider this a family hotel, I didn't see any children anywhere. Our partial view was very good of the beach and pool. The parking fee is ridiculous, even though I knew about it ahead of time. I also hate that there is no breakfast. Tony Roma's room service is a good thing, bring cash.

Wonderful to be able to walk out to the beach. Even though I did not have a room with a view of the ocean, I could hear it every morning on my balcony. Staff were friendly, maid service excellent. Location a little noisy, but near lots of good restaurants and things to do.

Accommodations were comfortable, room was clean, and the location was great. My room was directly on the beach. I would come back again.

Outstanding Service at its Best!

plenty of things to do withing walking distance, take your bike and leave the car in the parkign lot. get the rooms facing the ocean for the xtra bucks but it will be worth it.

it's right on the beach in fron of the strand and there's a lot do right there within walking distance. the surf is even pretty good out front. Spend the extra money and get the ocean front or view room while you are there. the bathroom was remodeled and in general all in pretty good condition.

Overall we were quite pleased with this hotel. The location was great. Beautiful beach, and walking distance to a variety of restaurants. The room itself was a little small, but not bad. Quality was about what you'd expect in just about any Best Western - not luxurious, but decent. Time to upgrade the TV...it was old and not a very clear picture. One other negative: the hotel charges a daily rate for parking.

This is a great hotel..location is perfect. Walking distance to restaurants as it is on the Boardwalk.

We have no complaints about our stay.

We loved the fact this hotel was right on a gorgeous beach and the boardwalk. We had a partial view room which overlooked the public bathrooms (not that great). Next time we will get an ocean view room. We would definitley return to this hotel. The room was clean and the pool (although small) was warm and nice.

This hotel has a perfect location right in the middle of Pacific Beach. There is nothing fancy about the hotel, definitley not a "resort", but it is really great. We had an ocean view room that was upgraded to a suite becasue they were over booked, which was great! The rooms are decorated nicely with flat screen TV and all have balconies over looking the beach. Waking up in the morning to the sounds of the ocean was amazing! Everything you need is within walking distance from the hotel, staff was great, very easy and enjoyable stay!

You can't beat this hotel's location if you want to be right on the beach in San Diego. It wasn't cheap and the rooms weren't very large, but the location was awesome.

the only bad thing about my stay was that i got in the shower and realized that the hotel does not provide conditioner, only shampoo and body wash.

I book all the time through Hotels.com and when I saw 2.5 stars for this hotel I was expecting a decent hotel. Having never traveled to Pacific Beach before I just wanted a decent deal on the beach. The hotel way exceeded my expectations in every way... the staff was super helpful and nice, they were able to get me checked in early after a long travel day/night, location... location... location..., very clean room, great view, and after checking out the area - this hotel was around 30 percent the cost of the shi-shi hotels that really did not offer much more. Last i have to say it again... loaction... location... locations...!!

I enjoyed how close the hotel was to the beach as well as other attractions. The hotel was also very well kept and staff was very friendly

There are two buildings - one on the street and one on the beach. The back building on the street is noisy, and the balconies have solid cement half walls so you can't sit and look out - you have to stand. The front building on the beach, on the other hand, has balconies with wood slats so you can sit and look out, and the rooms surround the pool or look out directly to the ocean - much better. We booked a standard room and ended up in the back building. Pay the extra and get the ocean view, then call the hotel and make sure you have booked in the correct building. The neighborhood is young and fun. You can walk forever along the beach on the boardwalk in both directions from this hotel. There are some cute little places to eat and drink along the way.

I stayed at the Best Western Blue Sea Lodge on the weekend of April 26th; the hotel is conveniently located near many of the bars and restaurants. My only discontent was that you had to wake up early to reserve a decent location to tan in the pool area. My comforter had some unknown hairs on it that weren't mine or my girlfriends. In addition, if you want to get an extension to check out in case you overslept, you better call ahead of others since I wasn't granted this because 8 other hotel guests requested before I did. I felt very rushed to check out on time. After explaining this to the hotel manager, he just apologized and that was it. Other than that, it was ok.

Nice hotel and excellent location. We were upgraded upon arrival to an ocean view. The only downside of our room was that we were woken up every morning by some mother yelling at her kids in the hallway. Parking was an extra fee that wasn't disclosed until I got there. The spaces were pretty tight. Since it was still the off season, I was able to take advantage of the street parking on the street.

We stay on Pacific beach several times a year (because of location). The Best Western is located close to great dining and entertainment. We didnt receive the best service though. The rooms are older so they had a funny smell to them, aparently your room will only be made before 9AM and we had a leak in our bathroom sink which needed to be repared (could not be used). Overall, great location but not the best value on Mission BLVD.

Don't go here. Small Rooms. Full of Teenagers. Not Relaxing.

HARD TO PARK, NOT MUCH ROOM, IT IS RIGHT ON THE BEACH, BUT VERY PRICEY FOR THE SIZE OF ROOM YOU GET

The sound proofing between rooms could use some improvement. Heard not only neighbors but people upstairs running around. Otherwise, great service, place, location.

We arrived 3 hours before our scheduled check in time. The staff was very helpful in getting a room ready for us early. The room itself was a little "tired" but very clean and comfortable. Some new paint and carpet would really freshen things up. The hotel staff was terrific, very friendly and helpful. Overall a good experience. I would stay here again. Brad
