We have a 4 and 6 year old and we appreciated the surprise extra touches that made the experience that much more memorable for them. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with little fidget toys as we got out of our car. When we went to our room, there was a little goodie bag for each of them with actual items that they used the entire trip! As we were about to leave, they both got a cute little squishmallow-like toy to hug on their car ride back home. Aside from the thoughtful touches for the kids, the staff was friendly and I appreciated the spacious room and cleanliness. It was a great location and we all really enjoyed our stay. It was a bit pricier, but worth it. read more

I stopped by the pool bar expecting a quick, simple experience while I attended a mixer , but it ended up being more frustrating than it should have been. I was just trying to grab a single mixer, yet it took way longer than expected because there didn't seem to be any clear system for serving people. It also didn't help that most people were ordering canned cocktails--which should have kept things moving--but the line still felt disorganized. On top of that, people were cutting in line without any staff stepping in, which made the wait even more irritating. What really stood out was the lack of water availability upstairs. When I asked about it, the bartender gave a vague explanation about water not being allowed upstairs, which honestly didn't make much sense. I get that there may be policies, but offering bottled water for purchase seems like a simple fix--and that wasn't an option either. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're just looking to grab a drink and hang by the pool, and the vibe itself is nice. That said, I want to stay fair--this is just my experience, and I'm sharing it so others know what to expect. Since it's part of a hotel, it does feel like guests may be prioritized, so if you're not staying there, just be prepared for a potentially slower, less organized experience. read more

I have tried to give this place many tries, and after my last dining experience I just don't think I will come back. Food is honestly a hit or a miss and with the price, it should be good-right? I think it's more of a tourist trap. The last time I dinned here, me and my mother made reservations. I get it was a busy night, however, we got sat all the way in the back patio...there was barely any lighting, no heater lamps, and the service was not that great. The only thing on the menu that is good in my opinion is the steamed muscles. They are very juicy and have a kick of all certain flavors! (Order extra bread to dip in the sauce). My mother ordered the steak with sides. Honestly it was a regular meal, nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, like I mentioned before, this is a tourist trap:( read more

We were here for a Birthday Brunch and had a great time. We sat outside and the weather and views were amazing. We had the Tower23 Seafood Tower off their new raw bar menu. Everything on the tower was on point. Three of us had no problem finishing off the tower as a meal. Andrea was very friendly and knowledgeable and did an excellent job waiting on us! read more

Tower 23 - Lobster Mac and cheese - Hotels Near Me - San Diego, California

I have been coming to this spot for over 10 years. It's inside the hotel, but definitely worth a visit. The restaurant sits on the bottom floor and has views of the beach. They have a large brunch selection. They also offer sushi rolls. This last time I had the yogurt bowl and it was great. I've also come to their NYE event in the past, this is a great staple of PB. They used to let you sit on their outdoor patio on the second floor for sunset - I wish they would bring that back! read more

Vic and Chase were the best part of our total experience. Kind, attentive and just overall good humans. They were knowledgeable when it came to the menu and were able to suggest drinks that aligned with my tastes. I loved the peach Bellini and the raspberry mojito. We had really yummy mango Mexican candy shots. The oysters are always super fresh and delicious. Chase was able to tell me where they were from. It's always helpful when the team at an establishment knows the details about the menu. Chase should really be a bartender with how helpful he was with all of the bar backing stuff that he was doing. He knew a lot about the drinks and what was on tap. Vic, he was an incredible bartender. So nice and personable. He helped us pick out what we wanted to eat. He suggested the mussels and we loved the chorizo and the charred bread. Vic and Chase really made our visit feel very special, even though it was a random Tuesday. Thanks guys, we appreciate you. read more

Very lovely to place to sit on the outdoor patio and look at the beach! They have a great happy hour between 3-5 with $1 oysters from 3-4. It is super seafood heavy, so beware for people who would rather a meat and potatoes place. Staff is super lovely and accommodating. Excellent service! They also have lots of of wine by the glass and fun cocktails. read more

Tower 23 - Oyster happy hour $1 an oyster - Hotels Near Me - San Diego, California

When my wife and I want to do a staycation this is our go-to in San Diego. We love that it has a beach vibe but with a modern flare. They offer both partial and full ocean views, along with regular rooms throughout. Within walking distance, you have so many different types of restaurants and shops, plus the Pacific Beach pier is right next to the hotel. If you're looking for an awesome walk on the beach, you're literally just a few feet away. The shower water pressure is a little lighter than we would like, but that's just our personal preference and it won't keep us from continuing to make this one of our favorite spots. It's a little pricier than others that are away from the beach, but we think it's definitely worth the money. They also offer valet parking, which makes it great because parking in the area can be tough. Last time we upgraded to a suite and loved every second of it. We'll be back for sure. read more

Really nice modern hotel in a prime location in PB. The rooms are spacious and clean. The oceanfront rooms are great, as they are facing the boardwalk and nice for people watching. The parking is $35 a day, valet only. Service is very good, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We rented bicycles a few times (free with your stay). Some of the bikes are not in great shape, but it was fun nonetheless. Definitely would stay here again! read more

Drove down from LA 3/19 to meet some friends. Julie was a great server! Best valet experience I have ever had. Very polite even though he was alone and very busy. Most professional valet ever. Valet is two hours free with validation. I went over and it was just $15. You can park in shopping center lot if you can find a spot but your choices are two hours $20 or six hours for $40 when you scan the sign. Con: no guacamole! Con: wish valet could have a Venmo code at the desk for his tip. Tip: get there around 3-4 and beat hh rush. Usually no problem getting seating. Great location right on the water. read more

This spot is good if you're wanting to watch a big game, or if you're wanting to sit outside and have a lunch! The inside is quite rowdy during a game, so we sat outside and had a nice dinner. It's along the boardwalk so you can take a nice walk after you eat too! The food was pretty good! read more

Have decided they are no longer pet friendly outside. Will not be back. Hostess was rude. Used to eat here with some regularity.

Great place right on the beach especially for Sunday brunch full bar. Great wine list great food super nice staff.

I left this review on TripAdvisor, but wanted to post it here as well! Booked the couples' package to surprise my partner for our anniversary and we will DEFINITELY be back! The staff was nothing but kind and did everything in their power to ensure we had a phenomenal stay. We got the Sweet Suite, with full view of the ocean and it was worth every single penny. The jacuzzi tub alone was well worth the price after a very long walk at the wild animal park. My one critique is that the restaurant could have been better for the price, but with so many other good eats nearby it was practically a nonissue. Thank you Tower 23 for a very romantic weekend read more

My husband and I between us both have called the hotel three times today to figure out if they're having any Father's Day specials in the restaurant. The three different people we spoke to - nobody knew. And not only did they not know nobody wanted to bother asking. They just directed us to the website. The restaurant is literally 20 steps from the front desk. How can nobody communicate with specials are going on like we are TRYING to give you our money! But if you can't tell us what we're even paying for then we're taking our reservations elsewhere. It's really disappointing, especially since we both worked in the hospitality industry. This is like the bare minimum to know about special events, especially when they're the next day. read more

Love the view, service, drinks and the fish tacos. They will validate 2 hours of parking in their garage which was helpful.

Highly recommend the La Paloma!! They do a great job. Ordered a dozen of oysters and a la Paloma. Great service read more

The view is great, and they were able to accommodate our large group of 12, which we really appreciated. The food was just okay, but the service was excellent. It's a good place to bring friends that are visiting from out of town. read more

First time staying here and it's been wonderful! It's such a pleasure to call a hotel to make reservations and have an actual human answer the phone and be so helpful with describing room locations, choices, etc. This alone means a lot! The front desk and valet employees are outstanding, friendly and helpful! The food at the restaurant is excellent, unlike most other hotel restaurants. Great ambiance and view! Our only complaint and hence 4 stars, is the service for breakfast and lunch. Just getting water to the table takes 20+ minutes and then the food takes fffooorrreeevvveeerr! When we arrived the first day of a 3-night stay, we ordered an appetizer and beer at 3:00 while we waited for check-in at 4:00. After waiting 35 minutes for a peta trio I asked the bar for help with finding out about our order.....and our beer. There were hardly any customers in the restaurant or bar and plenty of employees milling about yet next to no service. This happened repeatedly at breakfast and lunch in the following days. Other than that, a small "incidental", we highly recommend the hotel. (Just wish the frig wasn't fully stocked for purchase only and there was space for items we brought with us that needed refrigeration including medication. Strange imo. But the hotel did deliver a frig to our room free of charge so that's that). We will return! read more

We had a five star experience and would rate the staff friendly and exceptionally helpful. We intend to return next year!!

It was a very nice hotel. However, no cleaning service one day. No Captain Morgan Spiced Rum or Sailor Jerry's all week. Had to go to PB Alehouse or 710 for drinks. No one seemed to care. read more

Great place with great food , service and views. Lots of other places you could go to eat, but why would you. Everything is always fantastic, but I much prefer the lunch menus. Nice that they have valet parking at the hotel too. read more

Beautiful ambiance and setting with decent food! Love the sushi. Great place for a cute dinner night out.

I came to dine and did not stay at the hotel. Valet is included if you dine at the restaurant. There are also plenty of street parking if you come on a weekday before 4 pm. I ate outside this time. The food was what I came back for but the service never disappoints. I highly recommend this place to chill or get a break from the beach with amazing food & service! read more

My Girlfriend and I stayed here last weekend for a wedding, that took place at this Hotel. Neither one of us had ever been to this hotel. All in all it was a great stay! The staff were courteous and professional, some more than others, but still very polite and courteous. The large guy that acts as the bouncer for the restaurant was the most friendliest guy of the whole place! Props to him for his winning personality! The rooms were great, although for the price / cost it is for the rooms you would figure the furniture would be in tip-top shape. One of our furniture pieces on the bottom corner looked like it had been dropped, or water damage, or something. Not sure but for the cost of the rooms, there shouldn't be any damaged furniture. The rooms came with a great mini-bar, snacks to purchase (Although the alcohol was a better price than the snacks). There were robes, a nice balcony, and the beds were very comfortable. Everything is just a walk away, which is great! My only issue, was that we woke up early on check out day and asked for a late check out in case we needed it. We have asked this of every Hotel we have every stayed at and always a positive yes. However, the response we got from Tower23 was that they reached their max and could not grant a late check out.... read more

Stayed at this hotel over Valentine's Day weekend for a little getaway. The hotel itself is in a prime area, steps away from the sand and a few feet away from Crystal Pier. Lots of restaurants and bars around the hotel and the hotel itself offers awesome food. All the employees were accommodating and nice. Rooms were spacious and had an awesome view of the terrace and the water. read more

Valet, check in was a breeze. Restaurant downstairs is amazing. Ahi tuna with mango 10/10.

Hubby, our 4 kids, and I had an amazing stay in 2 "splash pad" rooms! With the ocean being steps away, I enjoyed falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the waves Staff were all friendly and gave us exceptional service! Front desk personnel were all very helpful, especially Michelle, thank you for being so wonderful and being so patient with my kiddos! Beach amenities- towels, chairs, bikes, etc. Were all included in resort fees and we enjoyed everything thoroughly! Rooms were clean and updated! Mini bar was well stocked! We will definetly be back soon! read more

I did not have one bad experience during our stay. Super clean hotel. Staffs are super polite. I didn't get the staff's name who checked us in but he was the best. I have never heard of tower 23 so I was unsure when I booked it but I'm glad I went with the reviews. We had the partial beach view and rooftop was on our floor and we had the full beach view from the roof top. On our last day they even gave us fresh baked cookies and milk. Walking distance to basically everything. We loved our stay and highly recommend for first timers. read more
