We were not sure what to expect with a partial view and did pay a little extra to have that. I would say it’s not worth it. We could see the ocean if we stepped out on patio but windows didn’t open and they were small. Save money and walk to bench overlooking the beach. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly. One concern for my friend and I was that our room was on the 1st floor and door was right at the street. We had a few nights that people sat right on porch talking. Staff is not there after 9 pm so to complain we would need to call police.

Rooms are small but nice. Great location for a good price. Service and everyone there is wonderful and they have boogie boards and chairs and other stuff you can borrow for the beach. On-site parking is $50/day but highly recommend it as parking is challenging elsewhere and you get a front row spot. Make sure to book parking in advance if you want a spot as they only have 4 dedicated parking spots for guests.

We intentionally chose Pacific View for the location and understood from the reviews that this was not a luxurious, modern hotel with all the amenities found elsewhere. Location was perfect. Staff was simply awesome. Rooms were clean. 10 yards from the water. Centrally located.
