Top Moonshine Beach Hotel Reviews

The Wayfarer San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff, clean, close to the beach, not too crowded. My son & I loved it and would go back!"

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good

"We always enjoy our stay as we have booked several times due to the incredible views of the bay and able to walk around the property and enjoying the property and surrounding sites. However there seems to be a lack of service at the restaurant where we have to wait for our check and see employees hovering around the hostess sound. Management should be more visible and visit tables and such."

Pacific View Inn

8/10 Good

"Very clean but basic small beach motel. Was on beach, but was listed as partial ocean view. Not really, you could see standing from open doorway, but yes it was on beach , yet quiet. No pool. Our main issue was the $559. I get that we booked 4 days ahead in August, But I just thought there would be a lot more to it , for that price. That’s the most we’ve ever spent for one night in our lives, even once at a Fairmont. There also was only parking 6 spaces to pay for, otherwise you had to find parking in extremely crowded beach adjacent streets."
