Had requested a quiet room, which had been acknowledged, but instead we were offered the 2 noisiest rooms in the hotel, either over the bar or an interconnecting room on level 2. We slept really badly, the walls are so thin that we could hear full conversations next door and full movement above. Overall the staff were fantastic, especially Jackie... More

Perfect place to stay in PB. Celebrated my husbands birthday last week and stayed at T23 for 4 days. The staff did an excellent job - from my experience booking to check out I have nothing to complain about. Attention to detail, caring staff, energetic staff. Way to go T23 - will stay here again and recommend to everyone. Thanks... More

Had a great one-night stay at T23 and wish it was longer! Spotless room with clean-lined, modern furnishings, spacious bathroom and wonderfully comfortable bed. Outstanding service from the valet, to reception, dining room/bar and room service. No pool but if you don't mind braving the fresh waters of the Pacific, the hotel will lend you beach towels. Great location right... More

My husband and I just got back from our little stay at Tower 23 and we can't wait to go back. Everything about our stay was fantastic. From the second we walked in to the second we left we felt like we were taken care of. The room was perfect for our get away. Fresh, crisp, and clean linens were... More

Great location and staff with modern clean rooms. The front desk staff offered us a complimentary cocktail at check in and it was served to us in our room within moments of entering. Nice touch :) We had a perfect nights stay! I found the rates to be reasonable and would recommend Tower 23 without hesitation. Thank you.

Mt wife and I spent three nights at this hotel recently. We have travelled the world extensively and have stayed at many 4-5 star hotels and were disappointed with Tower 23 in terms of the value that it provided. The area in which the hotel is situated is a little grimy and if we knew the surrounding area, we would... More

We had a spectacular experience at Tower 23. We were recommended to stay here by 2 sets of friends, and we're so glad we listened to them. The hotel is located right along the beach and every room has a partial/full view of the ocean. The minute we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly concierge and received a... More

For over $500 a night, I was expecting something more than a pleasant three star lodging. My first clue was the single person casual check in area. Second clue was there was no open restroom until 9 AM. And with the Pacific Ocean only 64F, an outdoor swimming pool would have been much appreciated. The hall carpets are old, with... More

I recently stayed for 5 nights at Tower23 while on Spring Break in San Diego with my 18-year old daughter on a father-daughter trip. It was a perfect location for us, for the southern California beach experience, right on Pacific Beach at the Crystal Pier. Everything was excellent at the hotel. We stayed in what is called a Spirit Pad... More
