Diamond Head Inn

Was right by the beach, very beautiful. Was a little upset I had to go to a different hotel to check in, but it was only a 5 minute walk so nothing horrible. Rooms aren't the most sound proof but other than that it was a nice stay

Rooms are recently renovated and nice but good luck ever finding parking. You are given a little paper parking permit but that literally means nothing. Any parking around the hotel is usually taken by people visiting the beach. And the office is closed and to check in you have to go to another hotel 2 blocks away. Honestly those two things are such an inconvenience especially when you can’t find anywhere within a 2 block radius to park at your hotel, that I would not recommend staying here

Well done Diamond Head Inn. I was worried prior to booking as I read somewhere this is rated a 2 star (maybe 2.5 star)? I've never stayed at a "2 star" hotel and if this really is one, I need to expand my horizons more. IT WAS NICE and had everything needed. Comfortable bed, good shower, fridge, hotplate, micowave, etc. AND STEPS TO THE BEACH. Very fairly priced. I can be picky and I just can't come up with anything to complain about. Being so close to the beach, I was concerned about noise, loitering, etc. NONE OF THAT HAPPENED. And, I appreciate the fact I was not bothered at all during my 3 night stay and never even heard the housekeepers as they cleaned the rooms during the day. I'm coming back for sure. Note about check-in: EVERYONE here says you have to check in at their sister property 1 block away, but nobody ever gives the freaking address so here it is: Pacific Beach Surf, 4760 Mission Boulevard. Easy walk. You can TRY to snag one of the 4 spots that Diamond Head has first and if no luck, just go to Pacific Beach Surf where you can park (free if guest at Diamond Head) and walk. OR, just go straight to Pacific Beach Surf hotel. And finally, I wish to thank VANESSA. I had a small issue upon check in and she went above and beyond to alleviate what could have been a disaster. Thank you Vanessa! As she is the only "face" to Diamond Head that I had interaction with, I hope they pay you well as you are a good representative of this hotel. Only positive thoughts about my entire experience there and it began with Vanessa.

I am heartbroken - I have been staying at the Diamond Head Inn for 15 years - unfortunately it has declined so much I will not stay here again. Our room with the ocean view smelled like cat urine. There are stains on the walls. There are cockroaches on the walkways.

The location is amazing. Steps from the beach and bike path! I've stayed there for over a month for work and Vanessa at the front desk is always so helpful and pleasant!! I plan on staying there till I finish my project down here in Pacific Beach!!

Karla was friendly and helpful yet professional. She sure knows how to make someone feel welcomed. She made me enjoy my stay more then what I would have! Diamond head was right across from the beach so I didn't have to walk far to get there, lucky me!

Always a pleasure to stay at the Diamond Head inn. Jim and staff have always treated me well along with it having great views and plenty of activities in the area. I will continue to my stay when visiting.

I have stayed at the Diamond Head inn a few times, I love my room I always have, the G.M., Jim Silver, takes care of matters on the spot, all staff is friendly, I would recommend this property, to anyone, who loves being on the beach!!

I stayed at the diamond hotel for a week and the rooms are very clean and hygienic. The staff was also very kind to us and everything was very good. All the staff are very friendly and have very good customer service
