We stayed here during peak season in a suite. The room was nice but furniture was oversized for the room. There were very heavy sheets on the beds that desperately need to be updated. The air conditioner didn't work in our room. We had to call 3 times because the staff insisted it was working. When the engineer came to... More

We stayed here for 4 nights. It is right on the beach, and has its own outdoor pool and Jacuzzi. Right on a nice trail around the area, and is in a nice area with nice restaurants around. The hotel is nice, excellent staff and service. We were lucky to get a free upgrade to a full ocean view room,... More

We recently stayed at the Pacific Terrace Hotel because we wanted to be right "on the water." I read such wonderful reviews online and even received a personal endorsement from a well-traveled friend who had stayed there. As the other reviews have mentioned, it is right on the water. So beautiful. The front desk staff and concierge were warm, friendly... More

This is a small, quiet, unassuming property but in an amazing location. It has a great beach, great (heated) pool and jacuzzi with the waterfront path being all that separates it from the ocean cliff. There were surfers out at 6 am (maybe earlier, but I wasn't up) each morning...the walk and bike south led to shops, local hangouts, and... More

We just got back from our trip to San Diego. We stayed at The Pacific Terrace and it was gorgeous. The staff is extremely polite and they cater to your every need. Gabriela the poolside waitress was awesome! The rooms are gorgeous, the beds are soft and the plantation style decor creates a tranquil, relaxing environment. Will definitely go back... More

It was a great place to stay, loved the cookies and apples at reception, they have laundry facilities and the it is absolutely on the beach. The staff/concierge were really helpful, good wi-fi in the room. The rooms were lovely too. Our room opened directly onto the pool. Great value.

We stayed here for one night before a cruise. The hotel seemed nice enough at first, until I heard scurrying noises at 3am (which woke me up) and saw a flash of something running across the carpet in the room. When I got up to check I found a HUGE cockroach. We called the front desk and they sent a... More
