This hotel is not the newest, and things like the bathroom could use a upgrade (poor lighting, shared tub and shower, older faucet fittings). Where the hotel absolutely excels is the location, and ability to conveniently park in the lower garage, do it yourself on parking and loading, access to EV charging, etc. The only reason I did not rate it as "excellent": this time, we got a junior suite that had one of the more limited ocean views. But, it was "full" as promised. Bottom line: this hotel never disappoints and we love that it is old school in what it offers, at a very fair price for the amazing location.

Lovely hotel close to everything

We really enjoyed our time at Pacific Terrace. The room was lovely and our favorite part was walking out onto the terrace to the pool area or out the gate to the boardwalk. Lots of nice 5 star touches like the evening turndown. It’s perfectly located between many restaurants and shops, the beach and boardwalk

The best. This is one of my favorite properties in the world. I traveled with my family and stayed in a family suite. We had a private view of the ocean, enjoyed fresh cookies daily, and had superb food and beverage service at the oceanfront pool, which is heated 365 days a year. Everyone who works there seemed genuinely happy and amazingly helpful, whether at the front desk, those you see in the hallways, or those who wait on you or clean your room. Everything is super clean. And oh yeah, a big bonus is that there are beach toys, chairs, and beach umbrellas galore. Simply superb. Update: I just checked in again (been here many times at this point). It's as great as ever. It's probably my favorite hotel in the U.S. and maybe even anywhere. Great for business, vacations, and families.

Hotel was extremely accommodating. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. They were eager to helping give information on local places to go, including discounts to the zoo, Sea World, etc. Valet parking was so fast and convenient. The room had an amazing ocean view, very clean and spacious. The pool was heated, which was nice for the chilly evenings. The hot tub great. The hotel is so close to the boardwalk, so many places within walking distance. Amenities at the hotel were nice, small bar but good drinks. The free lemonade, iced tea, and cookies were a nice touch. The room had a fridge, microwave, sink, and dishes to use. So great for heating leftovers from the great places to eat in the area. Definitely would stay here again! Great experience for first time to San Diego and West coast

Pacific Terrace is a great resort for families, but I wouldn’t recommend it for solo travelers seeking high-end luxury. The resort is located right on the beach, which is a major plus. There are plenty of free activities for families to enjoy. The swimming pool is quite small and fills up quickly, so it’s essential to arrive early in the morning if you want a good spot. The service from our poolside server, Eduardo was great. I would like to give a special shout-out to Ashlynn from the front office staff. Her exceptional customer service made a big difference during my stay. Even though it’s not a five-star hotel, she went above and beyond to ensure all my needs were met. I believe the manager, Meredith Pelto, should recognize Ashlynn for her outstanding service, as she was a key reason I chose to give a four-star review. On the other hand, I did have some issues. My room wasn’t ready until 4 PM, despite my request for an earlier check-in. Additionally, I found the front office staff, Justin and Jasleen, to be less than helpful and in need of more training in customer service. Lastly, while the concierge assured me of luxury transportation to and from the zoo and airport, I ended up with a Volvo instead of the promised Suburban or Escalade. I paid for luxury transportation and should have received it. Overall the experience was moderately pleasant.

Beyond the beautifully appointed, spacious rooms and ocean view patios, the unexpected touches including beach chairs and boogie boards, complimentary fresh baked cookies, bottles of water, and chocolates just wowed us and felt like such thoughtful touches. This hotel goes above and beyond in service and in its offerings to make your stay wonderful. The staff and concierge were warm and hospitable. Such a delight. We will return and look forward to it.

Really enjoyed my stay! I had the partial ocean front room and still had a great view of the ocean. The room did overlook the street/parking lot, but it was not noisy (my room was on level 3). Beds were comfortable, room and bathroom were spacious!
