The place was clean and about a block from the beach. But you can hear every sound for a square block in the room. It is not luxury, just sort of average, but clean place.

I really enjoyed my stay! The room was clean, the bidet was a nice touch, and I had one of the best night's sleep I've ever had while traveling. Absolutely fantastic location between Mission Beach and Mission Bay. I was a little worried when it appeared to be on a side street or alley, but NOPE, it was in the perfect location. I didn't interact with the staff face-to-face, but I am glad they were able to accommodate my early check in. That was really important for me. Also, ask if there are places nearby where you can drop off your bag for a couple of hours. I definitely recommend it and would consider staying there on my next trip to San Diego.

Beautifully renovated with amazing access to the beach and the bay. Attention to detail in the rooms was notable - from the bathrooms to the kitchen. Comfy beds and overall both lovely and functional. The only challenge was proximity to neighbors on the property (you could hear everyone's every move) - bring ear plugs/use a sound machine and you'll be fine. This property is worth it!

It was my boyfriend‘s 21st birthday trip, and the general manager there gave us a complimentary bottle as well as upgraded our room for free for his birthday. I think the service was amazing. The only thing that we had an issue with was when we got into our hotel, there was an empty bottle of body wash and not enough towels. The cleaning lady also did not clean our room once the three days that we were there. Other than that, my boyfriend and I had an amazing time staying at this hotel. We really recommended it, and thank the general manager a lot for what she did for us. I will also say that make sure you buy a guest pass for the parking! My boyfriend and I had a hard time finding parking there, but it all got solved when we paid to use the parking the hotel offered us the rest of the time we were there.

Staff was great with communication through phone and emails and was friendly and helpful in person as well. Just a short walk to the beach and many restaurants. Olive Cafe and the bakery are a must. Parking was limited next to the hotel but you can reserve a spot. Room was clean and well furnished.

Fantastic stay
Great hotel where you get a mini flat with kitchen and living room. It felt a bit luxurious with the interior. Loved the shower and the soap smelled amazing! The toilet was so comfortable with a heated seat, and it was great to have a kitchen including dishwasher. Would love to stay here again!

Our stay at The Boardwalk Hotel in Mission Beach, San Diego, was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stylish and modern design of the hotel. Everything was beautifully decorated with a fresh, coastal vibe that made us feel like we were in a luxurious beach retreat. Our room was a dream! Not only was it spotless and elegantly furnished, but it also came with fantastic extras that made our stay even more special. The attention to detail was incredible – from the super comfortable bed to the high-end amenities that made us feel truly pampered. The location couldn’t be better – just steps from the beach and close to great restaurants and shops. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and enjoying a morning coffee on the balcony was simply magical. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed for an unforgettable stay. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend The Boardwalk Hotel to anyone looking for a perfect getaway in San Diego!
