Room With a Killer View: Down on the Boardwalk at San Diego

Where: 4551 Ocean Blvd. [map], San Diego, CA, United States, 92109

We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.

San Diego's Tower 23 bills itself as the only luxury hotel on the beach around San Diego and as an urban beach resort, and when we see killer views like this one that our punk koala dropped in the HotelChatter Flickr pool, we are happy to agree that it's a true beach hangout.

Even the name is 100% entwined with the beach: Tower 23 is the number of the Pacific Beach lifeguard tower in front of the hotel. At Tower 23, however, this is not your Pacific Island beach view with nothing but rolling waves to watch--more likely there'll be hundreds of boardwalk visitors and beachcombers--so don't expect privacy and calm to go with the beautiful view. If you're happy with a bit more excitement and action, then you're in the right place.
