Welcome to Pacific Terrace Hotel

An Intimate and Inviting San Diego Beach Hotel

Perched on a sandy bluff overlooking the sparkling ocean, the Pacific Terrace Hotel provides Four Diamond, beachfront accommodations in San Diego's Pacific Beach. Kick off your shoes, settle into your balcony chair, sip a relaxing beverage, and look out over the amazing California coast. Treat yourself to a massage by the pool, a bike ride down the boardwalk, or just get comfortable in our portable beach chairs--and sun umbrellas--out on the warm sand. Beach buckets and shovels, toys, boogie boards, and bikes are on hand and ready to entertain the kids (and grownups) at our Pacific Beach San Diego hotel!

5/5, A Hidden Gem

The Pacific Terrace Hotel is an absolute hidden gem on Pacific beach. It is tastefully decorated, good food for a small hotel, clean and on the ocean. The beds were 5 star! Totally enjoyed every day we were there.

Yvonne, TripAdvisor, 5/31/22

The most beautiful hotel in San Diego

This hotel was amazing. They had the most amazing views. You could sit at the pool and look out over the entire beach. It was so quiet and peaceful. The hotel isn’t huge so there was never that many people around. You could always find a spot at the pool. They had bikes to ride (for free) up and down the board walk and beach stuff to play with in the sand.

Luke, TripAdvisor, 3/25/22

The perfect weekend getaway!

Our room was beautiful, clean and well maintained. Our large balcony had an amazing view of the ocean. On Friday night they had a fire dancer in the pool area. Beautiful performance! . . . I wish I remembered the names of all the staff members I spoke with. Everyone of them was professional, friendly and happy.
Kudos to everyone at The Pacific Terrace Hotel! 💜💜💜

Terrific location and a wonderful staff!

This hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was professional, friendly & helpful. Our room was generously sized, clean & offered beautiful views. Our ground-floor room offered a patio with easy access to the pool area and the snack/drink bar. The location was fantastic! We were close to everything we wanted to do in San Diego and we were within walking distance to many wonderful restaurants and shops. . . . The sunset views were amazing. We will definitely stay here again!

Karen, TripAdvisor, 3/18/22

Great Hotel, Perfect Location.

We loved Pacific Terrace Hotel. The full ocean view was spectacular! We watched the sunset from our balcony or the pool most nights. The staff was always very helpful. We used the courtesy bikes every day. I looked around at the other hotels I had considered and was so glad I chose Pacific Terrace.

Jennifer, TripAdvisor, 4/24/22

5/5 Love, love, love!!!!

A little “me time” after a 2 year pandemic! So relaxing and exactly what I needed. The service was impeccable from the front desk to the pool. Loved having breakfast poolside, the pancakes were delicious. Can’t wait to come back & take in the sun, sit on the balcony & dip in the pool. Thank you for making my stay absolutely wonderful!

5/5

We booked the 5 night special which included a non-view room but we were still able to see the ocean and sunset. The room we decent size and cleaned well each day. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The heated pool overlooking the ocean was definitely a winner with my kids.
