The Boardwalk Hotel – A Favorite for Families in San Diego

The Boardwalk Hotel provides private check-in and check-out with an outdoor fireplace and outdoor seating area. Guests have access to a hot tub and sauna, plus an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. The hotel has dedicated parking spots available for purchase, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms throughout.

All 18 rooms include air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a kitchenette with full-size appliances. Select rooms come with a private hot tub, a balcony fire pit, or a spa room that includes a heated Japanese toilet seat. Each room has blackout curtains, a white noise machine, and streaming services on the TV.

The hotel sits one block from Mission Beach and steps from Mission Bay, between the ocean and the bay. Guests can walk to restaurants, coffee shops, and Olive Bakery across the street. Belmont Park is a 15-minute walk away, and SeaWorld San Diego is 4.9 km from the property.

Two-bedroom suites with separate air conditioning units in each room accommodate families of five.

The Boardwalk Hotel partners with Cheap Rentals next door for complimentary borrowing of surfboards, wetsuits, bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, and stand-up paddleboards.
