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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Everything went well & was all smooth. The property was really nice and steps from the beach. We wish we would have stayed longer to enjoy it more. Overall, everything was nice.

Good value for the area, which is mostly much more expensive. Parking was a bit inconvenient, but having a guaranteed parking spot is great at the beach.
