Beautiful appointed hotel. Great location. The amenities are lovely. Rooms inviting all with ocean views. Highly recommend.

Second time on a staycation here. They are finishing up some holiday decorations when I arrived and it looked fantastic I got the same room I had before. It's a partial ocean view yet comes with a in room jacuzzi tub which is what I want most. The room is spacious. Great king sized bed. Fluffy towels. Wish they had water in the coffee pot or free water bottles. Service is always professional and sweet. From valet, front desk, the restaurant I'll continue with my stays here!! read more

I received this confirmation from Tower 23. As you can see in the photo, my reservation is May 24-28. However the room breakdown underneath is for May 23-27. Clearly a Friday night is more expensive than a Tuesday night. I reached out to the hotel reservations email. They said their system had a glitch. I was still having trouble understanding why I am being charged a Friday night rate as opposed to a Tuesday night rate. Angelica (I think that was her name) called me and was annoyed from the start. When I was still not understanding her explanation, she became outwardly annoyed. I asked her why she was getting frustrated with me when I was just trying to understand a discrepancy sent from the hotel. At that point she put me on hold to get a manager. I never asked for a manager, and was happy to work with her. After being on hold for a few minutes, she came back on the phone and asked if I received the room break down she sent me. I had not, I received a reservation confirmation, but it only provided a nightly average, not the daily room breakdown. I did eventually receive the room breakdown, but I am still not understanding why I received the original confirmation. Angelica asked me if I was satisfied at that point, and I said since she wanted me to speak to a manger I felt I should. She then said her manager was not available and her supervisor would be there in 10 mins. (The manager she wanted me to speak to.) At that point I asked the managers name and to please have the manager call me back. I look forward to speaking with Elizabeth. In this economic time when we have the choice where we spend our money, it was veery off-putting to receive the service from Angelic based on the error of the hotel's reservation system (again see photo). If this is any indication of what my stay at Tower 23 will be like, I would like a full refund and I will gladly book a hotel that will welcome my patronage. Elizabeth, I look forward to hearing from you. read more

We got a recommendation from a local couple that ride there bikes in the area We ordered the Caesar salad and a yellow tail fish taco The Caesar salad was delicious a little over powering with the anchovies but other wise very yummy The taco was not to my liking it has a sweet flavor that was thrown me off and the fish was over cooked they took to long to bring us our food The server was great We appreciate the recommendation but wish we tried another spot for our last seafood meal before heading back to vegas ...... ooooo well sometimes you win sometime you loose lol read more

We stayed here for the first time and it was such a wonderful and relaxing getaway. The staff was attentive and very accommodating. The hotel is impeccable and it was the first time in a while I didn't feel the need to Lysol everything down. We stayed in a suite with a partial view and I highly recommend it-better yet go with the full view! It was so nice soaking in the tub while listening to the ocean waves. The room was a generous size and came with two bath robes. We also ordered room service from the restaurant below. It was pricey but had some good bites. There are also plenty of places within walking distance. My only critique is the jets in the tub had some build up in them so some residue was floating around in the bath. Just make sure to run the jets before filling up the tube. read more

Tower 23 Hotel - Sunset view from our suite. - Hotels Near Me - San Diego, California

This hotel is fantastic. We stayed there two nights ago in a full ocean view Sweet Suite. The two balconies we had were gorgeous biews The bed with the massage and raising foot and head was super comfy. But the best thing of all was the jacuzzi tub. The water to fill the tub comes from the ceiling. Really fun. The staff, I don't have all of their names, but Jessica from my first call helped with everything I needed. Brought us a lovely welcome spa items gift. They were ALL fantastic. Our breakfast on the 2nd floor deck was delicious . The waiter we had - Robby - was THE best - kind and thoughtful. We loved our stay and will recommend and definitely return. 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

I've had basically their whole menu of appetizers. All of them are very good. I recommend this place for a quick cocktail and a quick bite. Not really a place to get a meal, although that is definitely on the menu. Reason for subtracting a star is their service is sometimes slow, especially at the bar. No urgency at all. No acknowledgement of guests until it's convenient for them. Not even a "hi, I'll be with you in a moment." But other than that, can't beat the setting, view, and great for apps. I recommend their calamari. One of my fav calamari dishes in San Diego. read more

Well we were fairly excited to try out this gorgeous location in San Diego. Mediocre food at best. Yours paying for the vibe and the location. Not impressed at all with the menu nor our choices. Food looks great but bland bland bland...MJ Needs to find himself a better chef. read more

This was our second time here. Last time was a perfectly served brunch and today's lunch did not disappoint. The spot is beautiful and the service is exactly what every restaurant goer wants- Lots of refills on iced tea and water, polite, and no mistakes in our orders. We had the short rib tacos, the ceviche, and the Jordan salad. Everything was lovely. The tacos are messy but worth it. Eat outside and people watch while enjoying the ocean and the delicious food. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. We had an ocean view room on the 3rd floor and the view was phenomenal. Our room was impeccable. We witnessed the cleaning and sanitizing procedures first hand an I can tell you they do not miss a beat. Everyone of the staff members we encountered went above and beyond and were so nice. Our server, Robby was the best we've ever had anywhere and food was delicious. We will never stay anywhere else again. read more

Such a great hotel, thank you for providing such great service and staying open for all of us to enjoy! We appreciate your work

Great view. Great service. Food was amazing. Great place to come on a Sunday night. Wasn't over crowded. Customer service was on point. We got a visit from the manager checking to see if everything was good and if we needed anything. Next time I'll sit at the bar where most of the action was happening. read more

We have been staying at this hotel for 3 nights and check out in the morning. I am so sad we are leaving. Everything has been spectacular. Every single person we have dealt with has helped us, smiled, and have been a joy to be around. We moved from a local hotel as it was terrible and talk about an upgrade worth every penny! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. read more

Super fun atmosphere. Great service. Actually some vegan food! Husband loved the fish and chips. It is super rainy so we couldn't sit outside. We will be back!! Happy Thanksgiving to all you wonderful people!!! read more

Keith is the best bartender I have ever had. He was so attentive and so willing to explain all The cocktails to me. I will definitely be back to visit him! read more

Came here for drinks but was told We couldn't have any garnishments with our drinks like an a bloody Mary or Mojito without mint, or a lime in our gin and tonic, The reasoning was because the garnishments are in the open, well garnishment trays do you have lids on them plus there are no people in the restaurant except for the bartender yet they serve food and I'm sure the food is open in the kitchen so that made absolutely no sense. So instead of making a couple of hundred dollars from us we left came three doors down and we're spending our money here and we have limes in our drinks. read more

Great food and service. The hostess was kind enough to seat us by the water and we didn't have a reservation... on Mother's Day!

I just stayed here the for the second visit. Great location and very nice comfortable rooms, particularly if you have an ocean view. I love the clean contemporary decor. It's a bit hard to review during COVID as some amenities are unavailable. That said enjoyed using the bikes which are available as part of the resort fee. Service was very good.my only complaint is the water pressure isn't great and it was very (VERY) hard to get the proper temp on the shower. Took about 15 minutes of either freezing or scalding water... will definitely be back and hope this issue is resolved. read more

So my entirety of this review is centered around inexcusable behavior of a single employee who is a bellman by the name of Ricardo! I'm a professional makeup artist and came to tower 23 to service a client of mine that was staying there paying in excess of $500 per night. Now mind you I've been doing this a while and most hotels know us and are very helpful and welcoming. This one was not. I came in with a ton of bags and politely asked the guy at the desk ( who turned out to be a bellman by the name Ricardo ) if they had a bell cart. He responded yes. I asked if he could please get one for me as I had a lot of stuff to bring up. He rolled his eyes and walked away, never got the bell cart. I thought maybe I had asked the wrong person and that's why he had that reaction. Come to find out I had asked the bellman for a bell cart. I know, wtf was I thinking. I mean really god forbid someone actually do what they get paid to do. So I found my own bell cart and got up to the room. I saw Ricardo later that morning and thanked him for his help. He got real close to me and said "I don't care" . Man! That is some stellar customer service. Finally when I was packing to leave I went down the hall to get a bell cart and he was in the hallway. He literally blocked the hallway like he was going to square off with me to fight. Wtf is going on in this hotel, who is the management that hires people like this. No wonder a hotel right on the beach has such a terrible rating. Extremely over priced with absolutely terrible service. You couldn't pay me enough to ever step foot in that place, it's a ripoff and dangerous, the employees clearly have some anger management issues. Maybe the hotel should pay for employee therapy. Either way your literally better off camping on the beach in a box. At least the beach bums know to be polite and use good manners! read more

Do you not have the lobster sandwich $21 of thin paste lobster of mix with lovely bread and tomato and lettuce the drinks were delicious and nice and cold drinks but the food as far as a sandwich no good lobster sandwich as a sushi look delicious ..

I am surprised I did not write any review of Tower 23 up until now, because My husband and I love this place. We moved to SD 4 years ago and on my birthday we always have breakfast at Pacific Beach. PB was the first tourist place we visited in SD so it is very special to us. The first time in Tower 23 though was this year and I loved it! Since the first time in February we came back 3 times for breakfast and a few weeks ago we went for lunch and OMG! We enjoyed amazing sea food! Getting a table outside is the best, although sometimes in rash hours is difficult to get one and those who does not like to eat under the sun, it is not recommended. Just a tip: there is a door in front of the beach that goes straight to the patio/outside of Tower 23 but is closed from the outside. The entrance is around the corner, but, you can exit from the "front" door. read more

This place is beautiful. By beautiful, I mean you can't get a better view in PB than here. The ocean, the interior the patio- it's all super chic and just plain beautiful to look at. I guess it's a part of a hotel and there's a valet garage that you drive in (and can get comped for up to three hours after dining) and its a nice luxe. The place inside seemed to get pretty lively too, not with music more of a high class young 30s older 20s crowd which I can now appreciate. We ordered a Pisco sour which apparently are the best here but I'll have to come back for the food. Great place for a date! Hint-hint. If anyone gets proposed to, it probably should be here too! Lol. read more

OUTSTANDING service and food with a great view. One of San Diego's hottest spots. I call it the South Beach Miami "West right here in PB. A must see/eat place on your list whether you are local or just passing through. Thomas one of the servers is one of the best servers and person I have ever encountered in all my years and his "first class" service and knowledge of the menu is outstanding. Keep up the great work everyone at JRDN!!! Thank you Thomas!!!! read more

The hotel staffs were wonderful! However, the restaurant staffs were ignorant with horrible attitude. I ordered breakfast to be delivered to the room. I ordered too much food and so I needed a togo box, and togo syrup for my brioche French toast. (It was my last day at the hotel so I needed to take it to go instead of wasting food). I went down to the restaurant and asked them nicely for a to go box and syrup for my brioche French toast. I told them my room number and had ordered the brioche French toast along with other food...... And the reception lady and the waitress was giving me an attitude. They went and got me the Togo box, and told me they couldn't find syrup. Wtf... It's barely 11am.. syrup should be available for customers. It's a freaking restaurant.. . how could they not have extra syrup for customer to take it to go. Oh wait.... they couldn't find it probably cuz I'm Asian. read more

My husband and I are big beach brunch fans. We had high hopes for T23. Just left being turned away having been told there was s 40 minute wait - problem was there were no less than 17 open tables . (2 reserved signs on) Not offered a drink at the bar, or a seat in the fireplace area for a mimosa, nothing, just sent us on our way. My husband is an excellent tipper. NO TIP FOR YOU! read more

Can't beat it! Full ocean view, secured parking and clean modern feel. We had to wait a hour for room-keeping to clean our room even though we arrived a hour after our reservation. Luckily it was a beautiful day or some stars would have likely been deducted. I give credit to the front desk representative for accommodating the hiccup. Other than that I enjoyed my stay. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

Love this place! The food is delicious, it's right at the beach, and there is free valet parking in the building (make sure you get your ticket validated at the restaurant). What more could you want from a San Diego restaurant? I love going for brunch! I have had Big Mama's French Toast, Shrimp and Grits, and the Bloody Mary (which was like at appetizer on its own). All were amazing, and everyone I have been with enjoyed their food too. read more

I had brunch with my girlfriend here last Sunday. The location and venue are wonderful. We had the poke platter and fish tacos, and both were delicious. This place is pricey for brunch. The 2 stars is for our server. We had ordered drinks and she never brought them. We asked, and eventually they came after our food was served, I sent mine back. In addition, my first order was an eggs Benedict. The egg whites were runny and not fully cooked. The waitress argued with me, and said this is how their restaurant cooks them. I ended up ordering tacos, as the eggs put me off. Later, the waitress's attitude was nicer and more attentive for unknown reasons. read more

Showed up around 8pm with a group of 4 and sat at the high table tops. Ignored by the server staff. After complaining to the hostess, we finally got a waiter to approach us to order drinks. After he dropped off the drinks he disappeared-- we had to complain to the hostess again due to no waiter service. Our tab was dropped off and never collected. We had to approach the bar to turn in our tab. We were begging for attention just to order and pay for drinks. The manager finally approached us after us complaining twice and apologized after we paid. Why do I have to harass you to drink and pay? Will reconsider coming back. read more

I sent an email to this hotel through their website inquiring about the availability of adjoining rooms. No response. Not getting an email, I called to inquire. I was put on hold by Michelle who picked up again after about ten minutes and said she'd have to call me back. Never heard from her. Not a well-run business. read more

Our stay here was a good one. This hotel is a great value: balcony with a good view of the ocean, just a few feet away from the beach and at the heart of Pacific beach. It's family friendly and they offer complementary bike rentals. If you stay here I highly recommend trying the coffee shop next door - Pacific Bean Coffee. If you're a fan of pizza, try out Mr Motto! read more
