It was good. Close to the beach, to restaurants, to shops. All in walking distance. Will definitely stay there again.
This is an older motel. You’ll get a clean room, working shower with a great location. Not fancy, not high end.
Staff was nice and it was perfect for what we needed.
Checked in 3 hours early and they had our room nice and clean. The owner was super helpful. Her staff was amazing! Only a few blocks away from the beach. We only stayed one night, but very nice.
Dumpy staff, dirty property, didn't get any accoutrements like ice bucket, toilet paper, or clean sheets, loud area and neighbors(buy ear plugs) but still giving 4 stars as it's the cheapest motel in OB right across from the beach and down the street Garnett with all the nightlife. Park your car and walk around and enjoy SD beaches and life...
It’s a surfer motel. No amenities, ugly rooms, no air conditioning. Pacific Beach is a pleasant spot with nice cool weather. This place is budget, only acceptable if you only come back to sleep. Bottom line is that I recommend it if you’re looking for the cheapest lodging in Pacific Beach and everything else here is crazy expensive now. Convenient, park right outside your room. It’s acceptable, don’t expect to like this motel.

The location is worth everything but is a very basic room. I was pleased to see an updated bathroom but lacks other amenities like a refrigerator, microwave or temperature regulation. It was very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. I was confused why I was charged for parking on top of the deposit that I am still waiting to be returned. Overall, it was pleasant for a quick 2 day beach bum trip. One block from the boardwalk, restaurant, bars and ocean. I would.come back just for the ease of location, parking and affordable price.
room was extremely dirty, mold all over the shower, hair left in the towels and sheets, brown stains on the towels, the floor was dirty. in desperate need of a deep clean.
they double charged me and still haven’t gotten a refund 5 days later. the first set of room keys they gave didn’t work.
this location definitely needs a renovation or better upkeep, it’s in a great location, right next to the beach and good restaurants. feels generally safe.
You get what you pay for.
No remote for the TV in the room. No that was useless. Asked for one and none ever came,
Staff is very friendly!
Bed only has a sheet, no blanket. Very thin pillows.
No air conditioning, which I didn’t know when I booked. It was a very stuffy night!
Road noise it very apparent but - the price of the room cannot be beat. Great place for 20-something year olds to stay affordable and have a great time.
Room was dirty. The shower was moldy and there was hair from the previous person still in the shower wall. Floors inside the room were dirty and made our feet black.
No a/c, no mini fridge or microwave. Tv was laggy and picture quality was grainy.. the fan, and tv set up were all plugged into an extension power strip hanging from the wall. Their dumpster was right next to our bathroom window so we could smell the trash when we tried to cool off the room at night.
On the positive side their pool was warm and clean, we enjoyed a few hours there after the beach.
All the restaurants and shops were amazing and so close as well as the beach. It’s in a great area overall. Just wish the cleanliness and safety of the room was better.
The new owners just took over the property 2 weeks ago but they are very customer oriented. The location is a 9.5, one block from the beach
Bike rentals across the street and an amazing price.
Great location—literally just a block from the beach! The property was clean, comfortable, and within walking distance to everything we needed. Staying here made our time in San Diego even better, especially since it was so reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

Under brand new management, totally working on the place, but got a ways to go. I will certainly try them again next trip! Very personably staff willing to help with anything
Amazing location in San Diego—this place really delivers if you want to be close to everything. It’s definitely a no-frills motel, but it’s clean and comfortable, which is exactly what we needed. The walking distance to shops, food, and the beach made the stay super convenient. Honestly, we spent most of our time out enjoying the beach and San Diego rather than being in the room, and this was the perfect base for that. Would stay again for the location alone,
You really can’t beat the location here. It’s great if your plan is to be out exploring San Diego rather than spending time in a hotel room. The property itself is simple and provides the basics, but it is clean and well-kept. Everything is within walking distance - restaurants, shops and best yet is the beach is literally a block away. Would definitely stay here again for the convenience alone.
Stayed at Mission Beach Motel and it’s all about the location—absolutely unbeatable. You’re within walking distance to pretty much everything, which made exploring San Diego effortless.
The place itself is no-frills, but it’s clean and comfortable, which is really all you need when you’re spending most of your time out enjoying the beach and the city.
If you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t it—but if you want a simple, well-located spot to crash while you enjoy San Diego, it does the job perfectly.
Great value for the location. The motel is in an excellent spot with convenient access to shops, restaurants, and beachside bars. It’s just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for the price. The rooms are older but very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Late-night check-in was smooth and hassle-free. Overall, an affordable stay in a great location, definitely worth it. Will come back again next month. One last thing Danny was very helpful throughout our stay.
We checked in and immediately checked out. Our room was discussing. Broken door lock. Missing bathroom window if you can believe that and no AC. Never again..
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mission Bay Motel , and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff were friendly and welcoming, making check-in quick and easy. The room was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the essentials I needed for a comfortable stay. I especially appreciated the cozy bed and quiet atmosphere, which made for a great night's rest.If you're looking for a budget-friendly yet comfortable place to stay, I highly recommend [Motel Name]. I’ll definitely keep it in mind for future trips!

Lucky customer #1 to schedule with the new owners apparently. Cheap, close to the beach is what we saw to book. Danny was friendly and helpful with what he could, some items were out of his control for the night. Will try again once things settle down.
