OK, You are right ON the beach -- out your door, down the hotel steps, across the boardwalk and onto the sand!! Believe me, there aren't many hotels in San Diego that are like that!! Let me try to explain the room locations, as some have commented about this. The hotel is L-shaped. Any room 2nd floor or above has... more

The beach access was the best part of this hotel. The internet pictures make this place look a lot better than they actually are. The world Famous restaurant was great. The rooms were very small and not user friendly. I did not have a hair dryer, or microwave like it was advertised. The TV was old and the remote did... more

I gave it an overall 4 stars because of the location! It is right on the beach and for the price it is hard to beat! Stay on the 4th floor or your view will be obscured by a restaurant (I took this advice from this site and BELIEVE ME on this one!). I can't say anything about the pool.... more

definitely not fancy---no free breakfast, no coffee in room, you have to pay for parking, no jacuzzi, the room was adequate. However, the view from the fourth floor was fantastic---just beautiful, 2 minutes to the sand! I would stay again. more

Awesome price for a place right on the beach in the coolest town. Wasn't fancy but didn't need to be. Pool was clean, on-site restaurant rocked, and the front desk staff were nice. Got to check out very late (8PM) and only paid 1/2 price for the extra time. We were there in off -season so it was quiet. I'm... more

The Surfer Beach Hotel is in a great neighborhood with tons of restaurants within walking distance. It's also right on the beach, which is nice. But, that's where the good stuff pretty much ends. First of all, while their "ocean view" rooms do, in fact, face the ocean, their visibility is severely hindered by the room of another 1-story building... more

This hotel is literally right on the beach, the views are amazing! We had a monster balcony as well with chairs and table already set up. We had our six year old with us and he loved it, the staff were very friendly, and the pool was nice and warm:) Our room was huge, two double beds and a pullout,... more

Stayed at Surfer Beach last week and it was really great - it's right on the beach and in a really busy part of San Diego. It was my first time in San Diego and Pacific Beach where the hotel is has lots to do. The hotel has external access to the room, with all the rooms facing towards the... more

Stayed for 2 nights with husband and children, and my parents stayed also in their own room. I made it clear in reservations that we were traveling together, but when I checked in they had us on 2 different floors and could not give us rooms closer together. The front desk lacked much customer service most of our stay. The... more
