Great place to stay, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the location is amazing with direct beach access and lots of great restaurants nearby. They also have a big parking lot with security and a laundry facility. The room was comfortable, large and had a full kitchen. We loved our time there and plan to go again! There are several bars nearby where you might get some noise from in the evenings, but that's not the hotel's fault in any way.

You need to open sliding door to cool room. Room is over walkway that goes from a bar to the beach. We had people smoking weed below uscausing us to need to close door. Ex esive noise tk 3:30 in morning on Friday night from drunk people shouting below us on sidewalk. Lots of homeless people next to botel . They do have a security guard for parking lot, but its bad that they need one. Staff was nice but area is poor.

It is wonderful to stay again at the beach cottages! The atmosphere is perfect for a Pacific Beach vacation! 🌊 The beach is right out a secured gate! The staff is friendly and efficient. I love the kitchen area with dish ware, utensils, appliances and microwave and refrigerator! The bed was so comfortable and it was lovely hearing the waves at night!
