Pacific Beach Boutique Hotels

"Nearly perfect. Staff is curiously friendly. They dont just smile every time you enter the lobby, they make eye contact and engage with you, even if you just saw them 2 minutes ago. They make you want to be there. Service is fatastic. You can call the front desk for any needs, or text "Ivy" (who greets you via text when you check in). As somewhat of a introvert, i love the text option. Its modern and efficient. I utilized the free bike rentals daily. The bikes are not in great condition, but they dont need to be; Its just for cruising the oceanfront. Overall the grounds were quiet. Its not big, compared to your run of the mill Holiday Inn, or the Capri next door. Our room over-looked the pool, and since we're from Minnesota and super touristy, we wanted the patio door open all the time so we could hear the ocean. This meant hearing laughing and banter a bit later into the night when we were trying to sleep. Otherwise it was peaceful and relaxing. The room itself was a two-queen ocean view. Not ideal for my wife and i, but it was either that or a king with only a partial ocean view. We opted for the full view and for us it was worth the trade. High quality amenities, huge tv (that you can link to your streaming services on your phone - loved this!). The only real complaint i have is that we were not able to turn off the patio light, so the light came through the wood slats at night making it difficult to have a dark sleeping environment."
