Oh my goodness! I just love this hotel. I recently celebrated a birthday, and my boyfriend wanted to do something special for me so he booked a room at the wonderful Tower23. We both live in San Diego, so it was more of a "staycation" but I swear it was better than some mini vacations I have taken elsewhere. The... More

WOOOOO! ok so my niece was graduating from SDSU.... so me and my hubby decided to fly out, While searching the internet for hotels. We weren't looking for anything TOO fancy...but we didn't want to stay in a dump either LOL, So we stumbled along Tower 23 in Pacific Beach. Nice cozy little nook right on the beach! After reading...

Good crisp modern beach hotel but the restaurant closes at 9.30pm and breakfast doesn't start until 9am. If you have time check out the Pacific Surf School at Tower 19 further down the beach heading towards the main Pier /Mission Bay direction.

Southern California does have it’s share of luxury hotels and resorts, but most of them are just too old-school for my taste. I had already booked our stay in San Diego when, after serious Googling, I stumbled onto T23. It’s just outside of San Diego in Pacific Beach/Mission Beach. Kinda half way between San Diego and La Jolla. Hotel is... More

Such a great hotel! I Hadn't been to San Diego in a few years and was hoping tower 23 was as I remembered -- and it was. Very clean and the location is perfect. Front desk service was wonderful -- Brittany was incredibly knowledgable and helpful and really added to the enjoyment of our stay. Would recommend this spot to... More

We stayed at tower 23 for the first part of our honeymoon. It was amazing!! The sunset deck is so relaxing, and the service from all the staff from the restaurant, deck, and hotel was excellent. Can't wait to go back!

It is said that how you spend the beginning of the new year is the way your new year will turn out to be. I was planning a special year so I spent New Year's Day planning our long birthday weekend and booked Tower 23. Booking this hotel for our special stay was no coincidence. After investigating many special hotels... More

This gorgeous hotel is right in the middle of all the action on Mission Beach...yet it offers a quiet, refined oasis with a killer bar and delicious food. You cannot beat their dining area and happy hour for satisfaction and value. Do your fitness on the boardwalk and swim in the ocean, which is steps away, but relax on their... More

This boutique hotel is extremely trendy, bang on the ocean front in San Diego on Pacific Beach. For us, it was a blow out at the end of the holiday before returning back to reality! The service at the hotel is great. The desk staff are very welcoming. The rooms are spacious – there's a huge bathroom (with rainforest shower)... More

We had a great stay at Tower23 this past week. We stayed in a "surf-pad" which is a deal for such a generously-sized direct oceanfront room. It truly is a swanky place to stay -- nothing else like it in the San Diego area -- very sleek and minimalist decor, but elegant at the same time. We've been up and... More
