We stayed for three nights in April 2012. The location is very nice and we found it easy to get to where we wanted to go. The beach across the road is nice. Parking wasn't too much of an issue although we did have to park the car at the sister hotel down the road for one night (and also... More

My wife and I stayed one night at this hotel in May 2012. We called prior to our arrival as we were not arriving until 10:00pm. The person at the desk waited until we arrived to give us our room key which I really appreciated. After 11:00pm you have to go next door to another hotel to get your key.... More

Thank you! I will never grow tired of hearing how nice the staff is. It sounds like you had plenty of time to discover and enjoy the area during your stay with us. The property was an apartment building prior to being transformed into an inn a few years ago, so there was already room for kitchens. If you are... More

We spent 3 nights at the Diamond Head in May. the room was clean & well appointed. Nice sheets, flat-screen TV, the room looks fairly newly re-decorated with a pleasant beachy theme. Although no A/C, there is a very effective ceiling fan & the room cooled down in no time. Our room was on the upper (2nd) level and had... More

Thank you! The few rooms we do have facing the ocean are only available by contacting us directly by telephone. Unfortunately, with only four rooms facing the ocean, we can not guarantee these on any of the websites. I hope, on your next visit, you will call us as a return guest and we'll see if we have any of... More

We traveled to San Diego on vacation with two adults and a toddler (18 month old). We were looking for something on the beach near Mission Bay or Pacific Beach but didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. We stayed in Diamond Head for about 3 nights. For our price we had a suite that included a kitchen,... More

I had read the prior reviews and was somewhat concerned about staying at the Diamond Head Inn, long story short, it was great.

The Diamond Head Inn exceeded my expectations!! I read tons of reviews on this place and was a little concerned by all the negativity! But the location was amazing, so my boyfriend and I decided to give it a shot, and for the price, it was too good of a deal to pass up. People were saying the, carpet/room dirty,... More
