Right next to beach. Homeless people do take over the area. But it’s still safe
-
The Inn is very well kept. Amazingly close to the beach. Just a walk to the end of the building and literally down the stairs. Very clean contemporary room. Will definitely return.

Kitchen close to everything and the beach

Great location! Lots of good restaurants around. Quiet rooms and very clean. We got a full beach experience staying there. The only drawbacks were parking, but there isn't a lot of parking at PB anyway. The good thing is there's 3 properties to choose from to park. We naver had to park more than a block away for parking. The rooms came with a decent size fridge and two burner hot plate. But you need to bring your own cookware and kitchen ware. We had our windows open alot when it was cool. They allow pets. Decent internet and we were very comfortable. Good location for a beachside property and if you plan on spending lots of time at the beach and boardwalk.

It's a good place, near the sea.

The rooms are clean and reasonable renovated. On a negative side - parking is somewhat limited. The bathroom could benefit from a bit more shelf/ stool space to lay out toiletries. There was no counter around the sink, and no convenient location to hang my hanging toiletries bag.

First experience I had was with the lady at PB surf who checked us in but was probably the rudest person I have ever experienced. It was to a point where I had to interrupt her and ask "please do not speak to me in that way" and immediately her tone changed a bit. I can't believe someone with that kind of attitude would work at a front desk. We stayed at the Diamond Head Inn & the drive from PB Surf was not bad at all. DHI was pretty decent but the only bad part was that there was a weird smell coming from the bathroom, possibly the shower drain. We stayed for 3 nights and had to constantly spray air freshner and keep the door closed. Kitchen was a big help and bed was super comfortable. I usually work nights and prefer black out curtains but suprisingly, it did not bother me one bit that there weren't any in the room. Best part of the DHI was location from the beach. You're literally steps away and not paying insane prices as some other hotels charge. Would definitely stay here again. We found parking reserved for the hotel by chance and did not move our car for three days and walked to nearby restaurants and coffee shops. Overall, if it weren't for the first impression of the lady being extremely rude and the bathroom smell, I would give 5/5 for this place. But still, I definitely recommend it!

Excellent location, horrible parking. I took my 3 sons there 35 years ago& loved it! Remodeled, clean & the mattress was great. Nice to have a kitchenette for a weekend. Great staff will stay again

Phones don't work. I tried calling both properties no answer. Phone in the room, busy, the whole time we were there. Outdoor shower didn't work. A few bit of homeless ppl. So if you're looking for just a bed to sleep on, this is your place. But down mind all the noise from surrounding visitors. Ppl upstairs sound like elephants. Also bring some sleep mask. Would I stay here again, probably not.

1. Room had molded and smelled so bad we could not stay in it. Windows were screwed shut and inoperable so could not open to let fresh air in. 2. Not recently updated as described. 3. Free parking is actually not on site. 4. Room was never cleaned

On the beach front great area
-
Diamond Head Inn was a nice, clean place to stay. The parking is absolutley horrible. 5 parking spots for 21 rooms. The additional parking had signs posted not to park between the hours of 3am-6am Mon.Fri. Leaving no where to park. If you wanted ice you had to walk two blocks to a sister hotel to get... Its a nice place to stay for one to two nights but no more.

Read the check in instructions prior to arrival. Parking wasn’t bad but pay attention to the street signs if the parking lot is full. Very clean and comfortable.
