"The Crystal Pier is perfect for vacationing families, groups of friends, and pretty much everyone else, too."
Fodor's
"Rustic little oases with a charm all their own, the cottages may lack some of the amenities of comparably priced hotels, but you're paying for character and proximity to the ocean."

"Charming, wonderful and unlike anyplace else in San Diego, Crystal Pier has cottages built right on the pier above the water."

"Reservations are essential for these 1927 Cape Cod-style cottages which sit directly on the pier. Many have kitchenettes, and patios with views of Pacific Beach."

"This nonsmoking property competes with the newer Grand Hyatt next door, so guests benefit from constantly improved facilities."

DK Eyewitness
"Most rooms at this busy hotel are set up with worktables and high-speed Internet. The marina and waterfall swimming pool make great distractions."
Gayot
"The central courtyard is lush with a series of pools, waterfalls and tropical plants."

""A place where all things are possible", this "aesthetically pleasing", "upscale", waterside high-rise beguiles guests with its "immaculate" facilities."
Star Service
"Like a docked ocean liner, this extravagant and confusing maze of marble and busy-patterned carpeting is a flotilla of bars, fountains and restaurants moored beside the convention center and...marina."
