All was wonderful
Hannah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place! Close to everything! Would definitely stay again!
claudia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

SUPER LOCATION and Brand new remodels! I think we were one of the first in our room. Only downside, they were completing the other 16 rooms at the same time. It was noisy during the day and parking was limited by a dumpster taking up 'our' spots.
It's FINE! Still works!
Clean, tight bathroom. No counterspace in here.
BIG bedroom with lots of dressers, TV and heating/cooling unit
The Living/Main room is ENORMOUS!

reuniting with family

It's the beach in San Diego for people who can't afford paying $300+ per night. If you're just going to chill at the beach, it's fine, but definitely a 70's motif. Plenty of good food/nightlife withing walking distances.
Daryl, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was small but cute and clean and had a small cooktop, microwave and fridge. Awesome location just across the street from the beach. Loved it!! Would stay there again

Note that the check-in for this property is at another property a block and a half away. Limited parking an available on site so you may have to park at their other property and walk over. It’s a beachfront motel though so it’s hard to knock it!

Great location, check-in was easy, staff were amazing!

How close to everything from the ocean to the dining!!! It was perfect!!
Lisa, 2-night trip

Great spot if you are looking for easy access to everything PB. The rooms are a bit dated, but that’s not unusual for PB. I’d recommend for longer stays - I was only there for a few days so didn’t take advantage of the kitchen.
Breffni, 3-night trip

Weekend getaway

Bed and room were clean but could have used extra pillows. The windows were almost impossible to close once opened. The beach was right out the door and so were some nice restaurants which was awesome.
James, 2-night trip

Great staff. Amazing location
Keith, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, multiple options for parking near the beach. Only issue was the sink in the bathroom took far too long to drain. Decent price for the location, would still stay again.
Ana, 2-night trip

Enjoyed the size and layout. Good bang for my buck!

Kitchen floor dirty and room smelled. The room itself lacked amenities: dish towels , paper towels and a freezer. Checking in was a bit disappointing he wasn't too friendly. I asked for dish towels and got bath had towels. The
