Independent, Beach Cities Hotels

The bay inn and suites exceeded our expectations for a hotel for such a great price. It is walking distance to the valley view casino arena which helped save us another $20 in parking. Great fun places to eat all within close proximity to the hotel. The complimentary continental breakfast was a little lack luster but that was the only downside. All of the employees at the front desk were very laid back and knowledgable about the area. We will definitely be coming back for a visit at the BI&S soon.

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!!

A lovely place well run and very friendly.

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.

We really enjoyed this hotel, the room is very nice and comfortable and the location is great !

My decision to stay here was based on previous reviews and I was more than pleased with Pacific Shores. We stayed in a lower level room that has been completely renovated. My wife is an interior decorator and was quite impressed! And the beds were extremely comfortable with fresh linens and pillows. Great choice and area with many restaurants close by and of course, the ocean walkway.

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!!!!

Perfect location. I came all the way from Michigan to stay in Ocean Beach, so I knew very little about the location. Turns out, OB is a quaint little surfer-hippie neighborhood with a wonderful beach and cool shops nearby! The hotel room was small, but who cares when the ocean's conveniently located in the backyard?? I'd recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a laid-back, less touristy beach location in San Diego!!
