Nice, but not a good value
We stayed two nights in a partial ocean view room. The room itself was very nice, spacious and well appointed. The bed was new and one of the sleep number beds which can be adjusted differently on each side - we did not bother. Nice seating area with sofa and chairs and a desk area. The in room wifi is included, but was a little weak. There was a kitchenette with a fridge, microwave and dishes provided, which was nice to have for snacks and light breakfast items. The front desk staff is helpful and friendly. Parking is in their garage and was not included - we paid since parking is very limited and hard to find near the beach.
Beach toys are also provided complementary; however, they were all out when we asked. One nice touch is to have public computers available on each floor near the elevators instead of at a central business center; however they were frequently down when we were there and we could not print our boarding passes.
The hotel is located on a bluff right above the beach and has wonderful ocean views. The pool is small but fine. Beach chairs and cabanas are also included, which is nice. The first night the pool area was out of towels and chair covers, with no linens being refreshed.
You could see a bit of the ocean and the pier from our little deck, but you also saw the parking lot next door and most of the ocean view was blocked by a tree directly in front of the deck. Sadly, the tree did not keep out the noise and activity of the neighborhood characters in the parking lot. The public restroom is next door and it tended to be the congregation area for homeless and drug users. I understand the hotel management is not responsible for this, but at about $600 a night (with a discount), that is not the scenery or noise I want. 
And that’s the problem with the hotel – it’s a nice hotel, but it’s still in Pacific Beach - I kept thinking that for the same amount of money I could be staying at the Ritz in Princeville, Hawaii instead. And the little glitches become annoying at this price point, making it a not great value. I would love this hotel at about half of what they charge – but at this price, it’s just not worth it.
