Pacific Terrace Hotel

Top notch!

Amazing place to stay!!! I am a VERY picky traveler and this hotel exceeded my expectations. The place is clean, the food delicious and you are right in the middle of all the action at Pacific Beach. The only complaint I had was there was only one bathroom for the pool and cafe guests and it was occupied about half the time so I'd have to go all the way up to my room. For someone with a small bladder it was a little annoying.

Great location with overnight on-site parking available. You exit the pool gates right onto the ocean walk path with 2 beach access points very close by and the room views are wonderful. There's a lot to go into but here's the TL:DR version - excellent location, spacious rooms with good amenities and views, and amazing staff! To dig into it, all the staff are super friendly and helpful! The service is top notch, including turndown service with designer chocolates, and convenient poolside food and beverages (our kids thoroughly enjoyed the virgin pina coladas). The rooms are large with space for a family to easily navigate and store their belongings out of the way. Beds and pillows are comfy and the TV is large. The toilet and shower are separate from the sink and vanity area which is great when you are traveling with a family. The 2nd and 3rd story partial rooms have a true view of the ocean and plenty of balcony space to hang out on. Amenities wise, they take the cake - extra large bath towels, makeup mirror, plates/silverware/drinkware, larger mini fridges, microwave, toaster, Keurig, and complimentary bottled water. At check-in and the pool, the complimentary amenities continue with quality Hurley boogie boards, sand toys, sports equipment, Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrellas, pool side cookies, and ice water/lemonade/ice tea jugs. The pool is heated and feels wonderful. The lounge chairs are padded and comfy and they always keep lots of pool towels stocked.

Great place, food was outstanding and really well placed hotel on Pacific Beach.
