Right on the beach

Out far enough to get away from it all but close enough to go and see what the city has to offer.
Everything I needed and wanted from the experience. Restaurant was fairly priced and service from food to staff was grate and cleaned my room expected( linens). Bike rentals for the short distance cruiseing and San Diego city was a 25$ Uber away. Go here go have a good time.
Personally I come from a town where check ins are usually just before noon. Maybe a better scheduled check in time case by case. Not that big of a deal when there's a bunch to do and they'll hold your luggage.

Super staff!
Staff are very friendly and willing to help. In a great location - fun to ride the hotel bikes along the beach boardwalks! Close to many great restaurants and bars. The welcome cocktails are a lovely touch.
Only thing that is missing is a pool!

Great location, great hotel, would come back.
- Amazing location
- Good size room
- Friendly and super helpful staff who will go an extra mile
- Complementary bike ride
- Complementary two drinks at the restaurant
- Amazing food at the restaurant, highly recommended
- Coffee machine was below average and only two coffee pods supplied for the whole stay. This is the case as there is no room service below 5 days stay unless you ask for it.
- Full bar and nibbles all payable including bottled water. I would expect to have at least one free water bottle p/p in the room

We absolutely loved staying at Tower 23 and will stay there again when we go back to SD! The staff was so friendly, helpful, courteous… the location is just perfect! Don’t judge a book by its cover because when you come in and park it seems small but the quality of this hotel on the beach is truly exceptional! Loved Kevin who checked us in and was so helpful:-)
I wanted more pillows lol…

It was awesome and I would definitely stay there again.
We loved the location and the fire pit on the deck!
I did not love the barn door between the bathroom and the rest of the room. It did not provide complete privacy.

Other San Diego hotels
Hilton Hotel La Jolla, San Diego
New York Times“The whimsical, nature-inspired décor, warm, informal Southern California-style service and coastal views easily compensate for an architecturally unexciting exterior, while the poolside bar and penthouse restaurant justify a night in at Hotel La Jolla.”
Hotel The US Grant, San Diego
Frommers + 2 more“Downtown San Diego’s grand dame, built in 1910 by the son of Ulysses S. Grant, has been rescued from near dilapidation many times over the centuries. The Grant is now as glorious as ever, with its grand sweeping lobby, glistening glass chandeliers, filigreed iron railings, and velvet couches.”
