Diamond Head Inn

Clean upgraded rooms at a great price and the location is fabulous!

Great views and location. As clean/new as it gets. Freindly staff

streets. Beware of street cleaning days.

The location was amazing & we got upgraded after receiving a loud room Ground floor rooms aren’t the best.

We ended up in San Diego for an extra night and decided to try out the diamond head for a little savings. Upon check in , Marina was friendly and helpful, check in also was a breeze . We did have a bit of a walk from front desk to our room at another property, but we were stoked to find a nicer room than the property down the beach we always stay at in PB. The room is basic, but super clean, with tons of space and even a mini kitchenette. This is a great. I’d get option that’s still super close to beach access but a little quieter than the boardwalk itself. We will remember that spot for our getaway

There are only 4 parking spaces at the location & check in is at another hotel 2 blocks away & they didn't send any information about check in. A maintenance man was kind enough to take us to the check in location. We didn't mind walking but that may not work for others.

For being a oceanfront hotel/motel, the price was very reasonable, and we appreciated that there were at least a few dedicated parking spaces. This hotel has two other nearby hotels that are under the same company umbrella, so we were offered to use their parking and even their pool if wanted or needed. The actual check-in was at one of these other locations about a block and a half away. It was an easy walk, so for us not a problem. We absolutely loved our room. It did show a small amount of wear and tear, but we used to live in this neighborhood and honestly expected much more wear and tear.

Good

As others have said, the parking is the tricky part. But the room was fine and the access to the beach made everything worth it!!!

Loved that it was right next to the beach and the room was very nice and clean!

Good clean room. Prime location, esp for beach access.

Parking difficult, and Check in at hotel down the street no onsite office

Location: A++ (Right on the beach is amazing!) Room Decor and Amenities: A (The hotel clearly spent a lot to update the rooms) Comfort: A (Beds were comfy) Check In: We couldn't find the office at check in. We had to find an employee to tell us that the check in office was not on site, but actually 2 blocks west and 2 blocks south of the hotel. Which was really weird. We did not receive any information about this before check in, or we would've gone there first. And the receptionist said it has been like this for years. That is weird. View: We were a little disappointed we didn't have a room view of the ocean, but instead a back stairwell. AC: AC was very loud when it was on. Parking: Parking was not exactly as "Included" as they implied when we selected this hotel over another one where the parking wasn't included. It seemed there were only about 12 actual parking spots for the hotel, which of course, were always taken by beachgoers. We had to find street parking every day and then move the car at night, and praying a legit spot next to the hotel would open. It was very annoying. And kept us from going anywhere other than this area for dinner. Beach Parking Lot: We were very disappointed that the beach parking that was supposed to be closed from 3am-6am was basically a homeless encampment right next to the hotel. There were several cars and vans that were clearly owned and lived in by homeless people, who spent their day sitting in front of their vehicles, and who were sometimes very loud and obnoxious with the cussing and language they used. I am not sure why the city of LaJolla allows them to stay there. They are basically getting oceanfront property for free. We would NOT stay at this hotel again simply because of that. We did not feel safe. And we did not even use the beach because of them, which was the whole reason we selected this hotel in the first place.

Everything was okay overall

Great location

Close to ocean! In room 103, tv didn’t work. Wall socket in bathroom came out of the wall.

Room was a studio, was steps from the beach which is great. Some updates need to be completed.

A great experience. Cost for the location and size of the room was spot on. A monday night cost me $117. I probably wouldn't pay too much more than that compared to what else you could get around the same area. A 2 minute walk to be on the beach is great though. Worst part of the stay is parking. Tight spots, if you can find any. Also, check-in was up the road at pb surf. We didnt know that until after we tried to check in at the diamond head office. Long story short, if the cost was the same I would stay there again to be that close to the beach and great restaurants.
