“Home Away from Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012

Pantai Inn is absolutely Beautiful! My husband and I spent 4 glorious nights at this lovely apartment style Inn.

The location is fantastic walking distance to everything, shopping, restaurants the beach is literally across the street from this amazing gem! Our stay included delicious complimentary breakfast, complimentary wifi and parking which are a rare find.

The staff was so friendly remembering our names and really made us feel right at home!
If your looking for a special and unique place this is it! Loved it! We will be back!

“Perfection!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 6, 2012

This is our first visit to the San Diego area and have found the Pantai Inn the perfect spot. I am a clean freak and have not found one thing that gives me the willies. The location is amazing and many things are within walking distance. The staff is wonderful! Would stay here forever!!!

“Wonderful inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2012

The Pantai Inn offers an exceptional location and should meet all expectations. There are lots of great hotels in this area right by the coast. The combination of parking, free wifi , and access to the beach was tops on my list. And, this is a very difficult combo in the village. We stayed in a room with a partial ocean view and if you want an ocean view definitely go for a room that is a full ocean view. Room is a misnomer as these units have bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens. Not huge, mind you, but comfortable. Breakfast on the patio is lovely. No pool or fitness center.

Room Tip: All rooms are excellent. It is just a matter of ocean view or not.

“Wow - What a fabulous place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 14, 2012

Stayed three nights at Pantai Inn in August. The staff was fantastic. The rooms excellent. The location is incredible. There was a slight mix up on booking - not to the fault of Pantai staff but with a online booking system that sold us the arrangement. I was absolutely amazed at how accommodating the manager was at calling me, well ahead of our stay, to make alternate arrangements and ensure our stay was most fabulous. Within walking to great shopping (wife loved that) and restaurants. Every morning for breakfast or anytime we strolled through the office the staff knew exactly who we were by name. They were very attentive to everything we needed. I can't recall the last time we had service to this degree. Oh, and the landscape - wow.
Without a doubt this is the hands down best stay in San Diego!

“amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2012

That was fabulous!
We totally understood why this hotel has attracted so many people after experiencing their hospitality and perfect service. Cleaning crew wasalways friendly, beds were made perfectly, and everything was neat and comfortable.
Not many comments on breakfast were found on websites, so we did not expect much, but every morning we enjoyed fresh fruit, bagels and pastries. Coffee and tea were available anytime.
The room was beyond description. It was charming. We enjoyed ocean views from the window.

Their hospitality made our trip unforgettable and precious. We wish we could fly back now and stay at Pantai inn as long as possible !!!
