Best Western Blue Sea Lodge

Looking like a Mediterranean resort designed by a Soviet architect, the squat, three-story Blue Sea Lodge is a reliable choice in a prime location. Despite the rates listed, this nonsmoking property can be a bargain; ask about possible discounts. Aesthetically, the original rooms are a snore, but nevertheless boast a balcony or patio and a handful of necessary comforts. Rooms with full ocean views overlook the sand and have more privacy than those on the street, but the Pacific Beach boardwalk has never been known for quiet or solitude. If an ocean view is not important, save a few bucks and book one of the units in an expansion building that opened in 2003; the decor is brighter and more enticing. The lobby has basic breakfast fare available for guests in the morning, and there's a heated pool and Jacuzzi just steps from the beach.

Facilities:
