Check in was a breeze and they allowed an earlier check in without charging an extra fee. Free parking pass was issued for Diamond Inn and/or their sister properties if Diamond was full, which added to the convenience of finding parking.

Nice beach stay with a far check in

It was a good stay and very comfortable. It's right next to the boardwalk for the beach and is good for a morning stroll. The only issue is that check in is off site and you need to walk about a block away to check in. This wouldn't be too big an issue if they found a way to communicate this before you check in. I had to walk around the whole hotel just to see a tiny sign on a small door that said check in is a block north.

Run down room on the beach

It was in a rough area and the room felt a little run down. It served it's purpose but I wouldn't stay there again

Great location in Pacific Beach.

This place is the perfect location right next to the beach north of Chrystal pier in Pacific Beach. There is limited parking, but we got there about 3:30 PM in the afternoon and had no problem. Places to eat and the beach are very walkable so we didn’t have to get back in our car until we checked out. It has a little kitchenette that we will take advantage of next time and probably stay longer. Check-in is at a different property about a block up. It was very clean and nice and we would definitely come back again. We also had a good price since it was February. I think next time we will also bring our bicycles because it’s a great place to ride your bike.

Great location, only steps from the beach. Onsite parking is very limited. Rooms are nicely furnished but have a damp/musty smell. This is common with all hotels by the beach.

I liked that the property was walking distance to everything but the parking was horrible as it’s beach parking which is hard to come by. Even though we were given a parking pass there really was no where available to use it at the property and ended up parking 3 blocks away. Other than that it was clean comfortable and recommend it

Beach front chill.

My wife and I had a wonderful 3-night stay here. It was the perfect place to unwind and chill. Everything a beach lover needs is within walking distance. Restaurants, bars, grocery stores, bike/surf rentals, and dispensaries are within walking distance. We didn't move the car the whole time we were there. If you are looking for a nice, comfortable, and clean place to spend a nice weekend with your significant other, you found it. We will be going back next year. It was the perfect spot for us.

We enjoyed the stay very much. But because there was no advance information on the challenging parking situation and that the check-in was on a separate property, we were pretty frustrated upon arrival. We had to park a block or so away to get to the hotel. Then we learned that the check-in was even further away...then the long walk back to the car, unload it and then find parking at a third property. There should be instructions about this on the website. But, the front desk person was nice and we would stay there again. We would be better prepared for arrival
