Top Sail Bay Hotel Reviews

Boardwalk Hotel: Bikes, Boards & Beach Gear Included

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot to explore Mission and Pacific Beach. Cool vibey retro appointed room right off Mission Blvd. Block away from the boardwalk and the bike path. LOVED the cold plunge!"

Surfer Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

PB Surf Beachside Inn

8/10 Good

"Location is great. Good AC and quiet."

Pacific Terrace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What more can you ask for, you are on the beach, the employees were friendly and courteous, the place was clean and yeah, I will be back next year, it was like being in paradise!!!"

The Beach Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"There were so many places close, a Ralphs supermarket, a great place to buy souvenirs, bars, pizza places, ice cream and the boardwalk was right outside the property, along with the lifeguard tower. The beach was clean too! Our room had a full kitchen, there were gas BBQ' s available and they were great. They had a staff to make sure that they were clean. This place did not disappoint. We had a balcony ocean view, I do wish they would have cut some of the bushes lower so we would have had a clear view of the ocean. We have already booked to stay there again. It's my new go to place in San Diego!"

Tower23 Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Love the location."

Mission Bay Motel

8/10 Good

"I traveled with my fiance and my friend here in September 2026 and it was an awesome trip. The motel is definitely part to thank for that. The pool was awesome, clean, maintained, good temperature. They even let us stay an extra hour past closing because we asked. After three days, our room got pretty sandy and they changed our sheets and swept the floor per our request. The staff was very accommodating, attentive, and nice. The microwave, fridge, and TV were a great thing for us and we used it a lot. The best part of it all was how close we really were to the beach. It never even felt like a walk. Before I even realized I was walking really, we were at the beach. It was actually amazing. This motel is also placed in a wonderful area, with many shops, dining, bars, and a grocery store a very short walk away. The only two reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there really was zero air conditioning and it was very hot and felt like we were melting. They had three fans in there for you to use but it did not really help. The other reason was because they charged us 6 dollars for parking for each day. I don't really understand that because we were staying at the motel so why would we pay for parking? Other than that, if no AC isn't a deal breaker for you, I would definitely recommend staying here for your trip."
