Diamond Head Inn 605 Diamond Street, San Diego, CA 92109

"We had the most amazing stay here. Steps away from the ocean, you can hear the waves crashing as you fall asleep at night. Right in PB so you can easily walk to nearby shops/bars or go on a bike ride down the beach."

"My friend got this room for us and she spent over $112 dollars, which I understand because its on the beach, but even so I expect a nice quality. Check in is two blocks away at a different motel, check in guybwas cool but when we finally got to our room. Our room was in the corner where this dingy attic entrance is in the ceiling which had Cobb webbs. Then there's was this loud fan thing inside of the room that definitely wasn't supposed to be there. Apparently, it was for drying the carpet because the carpet was soaked still from a carpet cleaning I guess? I had to put a towel down to walk around on my side of the bed. The ice machine also was located two blocks away at a different hotel. Beautiful location, understaffed, but over all is wasn't what I would expect for a place on the beach."

"A/C in the living room was broke and said they couldn't get anyone to fix it that day. Also if you have the bathroom window open when showering or using the toilet, people can see right inside because they are facing other rooms. Parking is awful, and check-in is at another hotel down the street, which is rather annoying. The location, though, is perfect, but I dont know if it is enough to warrant another visit"

"When searching for a hotel, nearly every affordable hotel had bad or mixed reviews. I chose this hotel despite the mixed reviews and I’m thankful that I did. Being right on the beach and so close to a lovely town really made my San Diego experience. Yes, the pool and lobby are at sister locations. However, they are easy to access and the company makes it very clear what to expect. I was told upon arrival how to contact room service and request extra toilet paper, towels, etcetera. The address of the sister location for check in was clearly listed on the website and via the confirmation email. Every employee that I encountered was friendly & the front desk stored my luggage for me while I explored for a few hours between check out and my flight. I had seen some reviews regarding the cleanliness of this hotel. The hotel does not look brand new, but the room had clearly been cleaned. The grout wasn’t sparkling and there was a bit of hair left in the drain but the counters, sinks, toilet, shower, floors, and sheets were clean. As long as you manage your expectations (this is an inn on the beach, not a Hilton resort) it is a fantastic experience."

"Our family has been coming to the Diamond Head for well over 50 years. The location is awesome along with the ability to have rooms with a terrace to see sunrises and sunsets. The bedding was wonderfully clean and beds comfortable. The furnishings in the suite are very basic but clean and comfortable. The kitchens have the minimum for cooking and cutlery but the housekeeping staff will promptly provide you with what's needed. Not having on site check in, ice, and laundry is not optimal but the location, cleanliness, and cost make up for it. We will continue to enjoy utilizing the Diamond Head."
