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

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

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."
