    Not sure I could say enough. A welcome drink, included towel, beach chairs, and bikes to borrow, a beautiful terrace with great views of the beach, room service from an amazing menu of the restaurant down stairs. The plunge pool was down, but I didn’t even mind that, given how good the other services were. It being right on PB you could go anywhere in the area for entertainment. Thanks to the staff there for great service!

    First off, the staff is amazing. Extremely welcoming and was available for any need. I had booked the surf pad 6 months in advance. Somehow, there was an update with there system and our reservation got changed to a normal room. After calling to confirm the reservation and discuss the issue, without hesitation, they upgraded us to an ocean front suite. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was unforgettable. The complimentary champagne and welcome cocktails were just an extra touch that made it even more special. We cant wait for our next SD trip. We will absolutely be returning to the 23! That our trip was too short.

    That said, the room itself was… not it for the price. The A/C unit was so loud that it vibrated the entire room, which made it hard to sleep comfortably. The shower was tiny and barely had any hot water, which isn’t exactly what you want after a long beach day. We also reserved an oceanfront room but got partial view, which was a bit of a letdown considering the cost. On the plus side, the bed was super comfy — honestly the highlight of the stay. But for $300+ a night, I expected a smoother, more comfortable experience overall. Pretty hotel, great staff, but the room quality just doesn’t match the price.

    Honestly, the area itself has a college town and fitness vibe. It's not a bad thing just was not my scene. Some of the restaurants nearby have that party kind of vibe to it. If this is your thing, then it's a good place to visit. Unless you stay in the hotel all day, which by the way would be amazing since the food and drinks plus the room comfort, perfect for someone like me and my wife.

The restaurant was quite noisy at times, but they did decrease the volume by 9PM which was nice. The location on Pacific Beach was nice and very convenient. The hotel also provides beach towels, chairs, and boogie boards, which was a great added benefit.

    I absolutely love the location, the aesthetic, the great restaurant downstairs and how friendly the staff is. I was so appreciative of the upgrade to an oceanfront view. We had the best trip ever and the best sleep of our lives. We kept the sliding door open our whole visit. It was heaven on earth! Thank you for such a memorable experience! There should be more ice machines and ideally a slightly larger in room refrigerator for a few personal items.

The wi-fi wasn't great and there was weak internet signal in the room so connectivity was challenging.

    We stayed here 1/30-1/31 wonderful and beautiful hotel nearby the beach about 5 mins to walk to the beach. The hotel offers valet parking and bikes to ride for free!! We went bike riding in the morning to the beach. The only complaint I would have is the way the hotel is built. We had a hotel room at the end of the hallway, but it was a maze turning a lot to get there. Also, the bathroom feels very unsecured it is a sliding door, but you’re able to see from the sides. It would be better if you were able to put regular doors. Very comfortable Temppur Pedic beds. Hotel does offer a mini fridge in the room as well as merch. I would love to stay here again!

    This was my third time staying at T23 & I love it! Home away from home. Great staff, awesome decor, unbeatable location & views. Hope to see more hooks or shelves in bathroom & additional USB outlets during future stays – would add functionality/ease.

    Had a nice time at Tower 23 hotel. I’ve been wanting to stay at this property for awhile now, and my husband and I decided to book for our wedding anniversary. Overall the experience was nice but I do felt the workers could have been a little more attentive. The front desk workers didn’t ask our reason for staying and didn’t ask how our stay was during check out. I found that odd bc I’m normally asked those two questions when I stay at a hotel. The only other complaint I would have the water in the shower was all over the place. Took forever to warm up and then go cold and then hot again. Overall nice stay the room was lovely and very nice property with the beach right across.

    It’s in a great location and some of the service like the valet parking etc was really good. I paid for an upgraded room (a sanctuary suite) but it was super near to the plant room and we were woken up at 05:00 each morning by the plant switching on. It also had a weird outside space which seemed to be shared with the next door room. The reception staff were a mixed bag, some really friendly and helpful others not so much

    Location is great and decor is really nice. I think it could be fun to have a group of friends book separate rooms and enjoy the shared roof deck. I don’t think it was targeted to me and my daughter with loud music playing outside, over-capacity minibar, trucker hats for sale, and mens smelling toiletries. I think it suits a certain clientele that we were not.

    Tower23 is probably one of the better hotels on the beach if that's what you are looking for. Its a trendy hotel with a nice outdoor area, great views and good restaurant/bar (although it did not open until 11am for breakfast - room service available from 8am). Overall ok but it was not what we were looking for as a family in San Diego and it was definitely overpriced. The Sanctuary Suite (216) shared an outdoor terrace with the room next door. You could see the ocean if you leaned out far enough! The room was relatively clean but there were hairs on the pull out couch bed and no linens or pillows for it in the room. The mini fridge did not work. The bathroom is tacky with a shower curtain for "privacy" and noise from the plumbing at 7am was terrible. The Pacific Beach area for us was also really disappointing. We moved up to a hotel in La Jolla with a pool and amenities which was much nicer and less expensive.

    My girlfriend and I chose Tower23 for its surfside location. Overall the experience was good, with a few issues. On the plus side, staff friendliness and responsiveness is great. The hotel is very clean, except that water features (for swimming? It wasn't clear..) had sand at the bottom, and were not the pristine sort of blue a bather would appreciate. Our final bill was $74.60 in excess of the quote on Hotels.com, and this was mostly due to our request of a refrigerator and microwave oven ($10/day, each). Another big gotcha: on-site parking appears to be valet only, at $15/day. My girlfriend was less than impressed by the door partition of the bathroom to bedroom in our Surf Pad. It did not appear to lock in any fashion, and contained not fully opaque glass. Someone in the bedroom could see at least shadows behind it. This was an issue for my girlfriend when our microwave oven was delivered by staff. The hotel is overall very nice, but I tend to think that a stay at Tower 23 is at a premium only because of its location right on the beach.

    First, I spend weeks analyzing over hotel stays before finally booking one. It's a problem...thankfully, Tower23 was a great one. Exceptional hotel with an even better restaurant. Valet was especially affordable and they had plenty of hookups for our rented Tesla. Room was great...very quiet with a terrific patio that included great sightlines to the beach and Crystal Pier. Staff was especially friendly and helpful. We used the hotel bikes for a ride to La Jolla. ONLY complaint would be breakfast being available room service only and after 8am. But overall, just a terrific beachfront property in the most perfect location. We tried several other restaurants but kept coming back to the hotel restaurant, JRDN. The food and vibes were best in area.

    During this trip, we stayed at four different properties, and this one was by far the best of all. The staff is welcoming and really efficient. The facilities are clean and convenient. It’s right in front of the ocean and very good for a walk. Reservation included breakfast, taken to the room by the time we asked for. The portions were gentle and it was tasty. Finally, during sunset we enjoyed a nice drink at the bar, which was a relaxing way to close the day. I’m sure we’ll be back on our next trip to SD.
