Pacific Shores Inn On Pacific Beach

“Excellent location, comfortable bed!”

The location here is AWESOME! Just a short walk to the beach access ramp. We got the room with 2 queen beds and slept soundly. Very comfortable.

The location here is AWESOME! Just a short walk to the beach access ramp. We got the room with 2 queen beds and slept soundly. Very comfortable. The bedside lamp had to be plugged in/unplugged to turn it on and off since the twisty knob was missing. We had an outside, at-the-front-door patio with a table and chairs which was nice. Inside, the room was tastefully decorated, but the carpet was fraying at every seam. The room's mini-split remote control was missing, but we did finally figure out how to turn the a/c on and cool the room. The cabinets did not have a single thing in them in the kitchen bar.....no cutlery, no dishes, no paper towels. There was no continental breakfast, only coffee offered in the lobby. One of the two dryers in the laundry room was inoperative. The pool needs draining and repainting since the paint was peeling throughout the pool. The water WAS heated, but the area just looked too sad for us to be comfortable enough to use it. All of the staff we encountered was friendly and smiling. Even with its little problem areas, we would stay here again.

“a nice stay and great location”

great location right on the beach, not enough pillows or towels but overall very good stay reasonable price given the location. staff was nice. coffee in the lobby was good. I would stay here again because of the fantastic access to the beach.

“Could be a gem”

On first glance, the rooms appear fairly fresh and modern. On closer inspection, there are so many issues. We had booked a junior king suite (which can accommodate up to 4 guests) and got unit #10. Instead of the “signature amenities” of workstation desk and clock radio, we got 2 sofas. Definitely … more

On first glance, the rooms appear fairly fresh and modern. On closer inspection, there are so many issues. We had booked a junior king suite (which can accommodate up to 4 guests) and got unit #10. Instead of the “signature amenities” of workstation desk and clock radio, we got 2 sofas. Definitely missing a desk and chair in the main room. The “full well-equipped kitchen” had 2 fridges (why?) and instead of the announced “bar seating”, there was a metal patio table complete with parasol hole. The bare cupboards revealed only 2 of each: plates, bowls, glasses, knives, forks, spoons - no essential items such as can opener, bottle opener, peeler, chopping board, colander, salad bowl, paper towels; there was no dishwasher - but also no kitchen cloths for drying. The 2 oven rings were a disaster - both on a 45’ angle and took over 40 mins to boil a pan of water. Allow 3 hours per meal. Oven rings were not marked, so it was impossible to work out the high and low heat range. Exhaust was a hole in the ceiling. Maintenance guy was friendly and bought a chopping board and potato peeler on day 1. Young receptionist was friendly- older one just rolled her eyes, huffed and puffed each time we complained. Asked for more kitchen items on day 2 - they provided some extras, which were all dirty. Asked for kitchen cloths and they left us extra bath towels. Wifi was hit and miss. Shower was hot and strong, but door did not seal properly and leaked water. Positives were the free parking and location. Such a pity, as with more care and attention, this could be a gem.
