Meat-eaters should order the prime rib at the on-site restaurant—a house specialty.
DK Eyewitness "This 1926 inn was popular with Hollywood celebrities en route to holidays in Mexico in the 1920s and 30s. The original fixtures lend a delightful retro touch."
Rough Guide "This renovated apartment complex is a hundred years old. The stately hotel suites feature kitchens and pleasant, large sitting areas, and continental breakfast and wi-fi are free."
Lonely Planet "This 74-room gay-friendly place... used to be an apartment building, meaning mostly large rooms with kitchens, vast closets and early American decor." Full review

Concierge "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." Full review
Lonely Planet "Charming, wonderful and unlike anyplace else in San Diego, Crystal Pier has cottages built right on the pier above the water." Full review
Travel + Leisure "There is simply no way to get any closer to the ocean in San Diego than staying at the Crystal Pier Hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "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."
Rough Guide "Beautiful deluxe cottages built in the 1920s and situated right on the pier. All rooms are suites with private decks, and most have kitchenettes."
Michelin Guide "On a dock that juts into the ocean at Pacific Beach, a series of comfortable, blue-and-white cottages provide unique over-the water lodging."
Gayot "Picture your own little village of historic cottages set atop the Pacific Ocean and you've envisioned The Crystal Pier Hotel."

Afar Magazine "Crystal Pier Hotel is a group of cottages that were built in the 1920s...they each come with a kitchenette and sit on a pier over the Pacific Ocean. " Full review
