The room was spacious and comfortably laid out, making it feel more like a home away from home. I loved how convenient the location was—just a short walk to Mission Bay Park and right next to a McDonald's, which was perfect for quick meals without having to drive far. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers excellent value for money. Whether you're here for leisure or business, this place delivers a stress-free stay with a great balance of comfort and accessibility. It’s rare to find such a solid experience at this price point—highly recommend for travelers who want a reliable, no-fuss base in San Diego.
Staying at the SureStay Hotel by Best Western in San Diego's Pacific Beach was a solid experience for the price. At around $600 per night, it offers great value—especially if you're looking for a clean, quiet, and straightforward place to stay, particularly for family travel or quick getaways. The room itself isn't huge, but it’s spotless and well-maintained, which is what matters most after a long day exploring. It’s located just across the street from a Holiday Inn, so you’re close to other options, though this property definitely stands out for its better value. Breakfast is simple—nothing fancy, not the kind of spread you’d find at a luxury hotel—but it fills you up and does the job. If you’re not expecting gourmet morning meals, you’ll be fine. The only minor downside is the bathroom ventilation—it can feel a bit stuffy after a shower, so we had to crack the door open to let air circulate. Overall, it’s a reliable, no-frills option with a good location and excellent cleanliness. For travelers who prioritize comfort, convenience, and value over extravagance, this hotel delivers exactly what you’d expect—and even a little more.
Absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect—just steps away from Mission Bay, with easy access to downtown San Diego via public transit. The room was clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, with a great bed that made for a restful night's sleep. The staff were friendly and efficient, making check-in a breeze. I especially appreciated the free Wi-Fi and the included breakfast—fresh, tasty, and well-rounded. It’s rare to find such a well-maintained property with such a great value. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting San Diego, whether for business or leisure.
Our stay at Best Western Plus San Diego Pacific Beach/Mission Bay was absolutely fantastic. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, always smiling and ready to help. The room was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located just a short walk from the beach—perfect for relaxing mornings by the water. We loved how quiet and peaceful it felt, even with the ocean nearby. My family and I are already planning our next visit to San Diego, and this hotel will definitely be our top choice. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxed, friendly, and well-located stay in the area.
The hotel was spotlessly clean with a fresh, welcoming atmosphere throughout. I especially appreciated having an in-house laundry facility—no need to go out to a laundromat, which saved me time and hassle. Parking was convenient and plentiful, making it easy whether I was driving or using public transit. The overall experience was excellent, and I’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend for travelers seeking comfort and practicality.
The hosts were genuinely warm and accommodating—always ready to help with local tips or check-in details. The location is a big plus: just steps from the beach and within easy reach of downtown San Diego, making it convenient for exploring on foot or by public transit. That said, the property does feel a bit impersonal and sterile, with visible security lights and cameras lining the walkway and entrance. It’s not exactly cozy or inviting. The bedding was a bit heavy for the warm weather—thick sheets made sleeping uncomfortable—and the pillows lacked loft, leaving me tossing and turning. Overall, it was an okay place to spend one night if you’re just passing through, but I wouldn’t consider staying longer. For budget travelers looking for a no-frills base, it’s functional, but don’t expect charm or comfort beyond the basics.
Located in a fantastic spot, this motel made my short stay in Pacific Beach incredibly enjoyable. The room was clean, well-organized, and comfortable—exactly what I needed after a long day exploring the area. The location is unbeatable for walking distance to the beach and local cafes. Everything was tidy and well-maintained, and I appreciated the attention to detail. It’s a great value for the price, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting San Diego. A perfect little hideaway with a 10/10 experience.
