Where do I start...perhaps with my five star interaction with the staff. An amazing group of individuals running the show at this tropical wonderland of a hotel. I was exhausted after what seemed like an endless flight from chilly South Dakota and being greeted with both a warm smile and cookies was beyond what I had expected. Diego and McGarety... More

My husband and I spent a couple of nights at this hotel while in California on vacation. We selected it based on the high ratings and reasonable pricepoint. All in all, I was a little disappointed. Although it has the makings to be supurb (right on the beach, large, newer rooms), it wasn't. Here are the factors that led to... More

My family really love here. Kids and we love here and services. It was on the beach and provided us for welcome drink, Morning buffet was nice on the beach. We have to pay the parking about $25 a day that is a bit expensive, but we love to visit here again!

We were picking our son up from college in San Diego and have walked by Pacific Terrace Beach Hotel many times. I decided to book it for my husband and I and it was perfect. For a little more money we went for the room with a full ocean view and I am so glad we did. We woke up... More

There could not be a better place to stay for lovers of beach culture , great restaurants and beautiful views of the ocean and distant hills of La Jolla . The staff had a genuine interest in "our days " and quickly established relationships with us . The 3 mile boardwalk was excellent running , walking and people watching .... More

We had gotten a last minute deal for a "non-view" room, but when we checked in, the room we were given DID have an ocean view if you were on your balcony or looking out the window (but not from the bed). However, we found that room to be too noisy due to the air conditioner machinery outside the back... More

My husband & I stayed here recently for a week on our honeymoon. We loved everything about it! The ocen view from the room and the pool can't be beat! The rooms are always clean and the beds are comfortable. A kitchenette is available along with a coffee pot (with items refilled daily) and a toaster. The entire staff is... More

Stayed here at the end of our anniversary trip to San Diego and Vegas. The hotel is getting a bit dated in terms of decor, but the staff and management are obviously trying very hard to do the best they can with what they've got. There is a bit of a 'motel' feel to the place, but the rooms are... More

We stayed at Pacific Terrace during Spring break with our two children. The hotel has a relaxed beachy feeling and is much nicer than the outside would indicate. We loved the decor and the view from our balcony was lovely. My favorite thing was sitting each evening on the balcony with a glass of wine, listening to the ocean, feeling... More

This hotel used to be one of my favorites in San Diego, because of its beach front location & close proximity to the airport, zoo, Coronado, etc. All the amenities that made it "special" are gone, i.e., continental breakfast, wine & cheese reception, Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, etc. Breakfast now cost $14. Parking is an additional $22/day. Stayed in an... More
