Independent, Beach Cities Hotels

Great bedroom with attached sitting room. Loved the amazing shower - basically free massage. Staff was available and responsive. For the price was definitely well worth it. Not a palace but a very comfy two rooms away from home.

Mattress was a little hard and worn out but overall was nice.would stay again. Needs a coffee maker tho!!!! Gotta have coffee first thing!!

Based on the pics online, I didn't expect it to be very nice. We just needed a place to lay our head at night and it was close to where we planned to be most of our trip and had a great price. I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival, the exterior looked fresh and clean. Staff who checked us in was VERY pleasant and nice. She explained that many of the rooms had been renovated and that our room was one of them. I was floored when we entered our room. The floor was wood plank tile, fresh paint, granite countertop in in the kitchenette, new sink, small glass cooktop, new stainless steel fridge, couple of dishes and utensils for cooking small meals, updated bathroom with new tub / tile surround, and granite counter, Oh and large flat screen TV w/ cable. When I walked back out to the car, I just had to drop into the front lobby and make the suggestion that they should immediately update their photos of their rooms! Mom in law's room was also updated. When you expect outdated style, and somewhat dingy furnishings and then enter the room(s) we had it's very exciting. The only negative, and this has nothing to do with the hotel, since it is on a relatively busy street, you should expect to hear some noise. We expected that and it wasn't a lot of noise.

The hotel staff is very friendly and accommodating. It a tiny hotel with 20-30 rooms but so cute. I would come back just to spend more time at the bar/restaurant. The food was delicious and happy hour was great. The best little seating areas all over the property. They screen movies on certain days and have nice vintage videos playing the other times. They even offer free bikes to explore the neighborhood.

Good location - one block to beachfront. Great value for Pacific Beach.

I just recently stayed at the Diamond Head Inn and I really enjoyed it. It's perfect for the price and location to the beach, great restaurants and beach boutiques. It's def not a 5Star property but well worth the price. Can't beat it! Only disadvantage is parking, but they have another property a few blocks up that they allow you to park at. Overall I would recommend to friends and family and def stay here again!!!!

Hotel is steps away from the beach. Clean room. Friendly and professional staff. May need to improve on breakfast but they are complimentary. Didn't use wifi bec I have my smartphone and there is signal there. Overall, my family and I really liked it and had a unique and wonderful time.

great stay! if your looking for fancy sheets and beds, keep looking...if your looking for a place right on the beach, this is the place. get reservations at the world famous (restaurant next door) when you check in, or you won't get a table. kids loved the pool!

The Ocean Beach Hotel was such a fun experience to stay at. It has the perfect location that is within walking distance to everything. You can walk to the beach, shopping, dining, etc. I will definately be back.
