Pacific Shores Inn

While several other persons in our party had nice rooms at the PSI, ours was not. When I called to tell the front desk our room smelt like dog pee… I was informed by Marlene that the hotel is two stars. However…. Two stars or not the room should be clean. You could see through the door jam to the outside door, the bathroom door did not close and either mice or rats were pushing insulation out from under the sink. If your feet touched the carpet you had to wash them off due to the feeling on walking on carpet that had been urinated on. There was also some sort of shampoo bottle shoved down the drain that caused the sink to not be able to drain. Additionally the fridge did not work and there was never anyone around to get towels etc. as previously stated no one was willing to change us to a room with carpet that not been urinated on. When I emailed the contact stated on the website I was not responded to either. It would be a gamble to book a room here and there are several other nicer well kept motels even at 2 stars that are cleaned and maintained.

The room was beautiful, the beach 3 min away we loved it

close to the board walk!

I have been coming to Pacific Shores for several years. This is the first time the rating has been a 3. The pool was closed the entire time I was there. They were fixing someting that required a jack hammer that was used ALL day. This did not allow for relaxing in the room. I was unable to sign on to wi fi and attempted to trouble shoot by calling the number provided. After a 10 minute wait I was disconnected and the issue was not resolved. The microwave did not work well and the conditioner bottle was empty in the shower. I have not booked for next year.

**Not the Hyatt… but absolutely perfect for a beach getaway with dogs!** Okay… it’s not the Ritz or the Hyatt. It’s a typical beach town inn. You sacrifice the five-star amenities, sure — but in return, you get a super clean, safe, and comfortable place to stay (though the beds could use a mattress topper). The best part? **Free parking** and you’re literally *steps from the beach*. If your idea of a beach vacation doesn’t involve valet, long treks with coolers, or the hassle of finding parking before schlepping back to a fancy resort — this is the place. It’s also **pet/dog friendly**, which was a huge win for us. The laminate floors make it a no-brainer for pups, and there are potty spots just outside your door. (Try finding that convenience at a big chain hotel — elevator, long walk, hunt for grass... you know the drill.) You can walk to tons of restaurants and grocery stores — everything you need is right there. It’s not fancy, so if that’s your vibe, steer clear. But if location matters more than luxury — especially for dog owners — this place is hard to beat. Honestly, I hope not too many people discover it, or they’ll raise the rates! But the staff truly deserves credit. San Diego is super dog-friendly, and our two pups had the time of their lives here. If your goal is a beach trip with your dogs and you can skip the frills, **this is the spot**.

Location was great. Very close to the beach and walking area. Love the ocean view. The high ceiling in our room made it appear much bigger. Room was very nice and clean. Would stay again.

The room was very spacious and clean for our group of 4. The hotel is close to the beach and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay!

Great location. Room was very clean.

Stairs were treacherous. No wash cloths in room

My room was nothing like the pictures showed, loose toilet, fridge in the closet.
