Great Hotel
Amazing location right on the beach. They also include free parking which is a major plus since most other hotels will charge. Rooms are great value. Service was excellent as well. Would stay here again.

Great view of the ocean
Amazing location right on the beach. We come down to San Diego once a year and this was our first time specifically in Ocean Beach.
The hotel couldn't be any closer to the beach! Definitely recommend getting a room with a patio or balcony. We were able to wake up, drink coffee on the balcony, and watch people surfing. Rad.
The staff were also amazing. Helped us out with early check in, a room change (for the view) and held our luggage on checkout day while we killed time before heading to the airport.

Not sure…
Easy check in/out. Very nice view from the hotel. Area its just ok, the room was clean, very tiny and the mattress sooo uncomfortable. I don’t think I would bring little kids here.

Perfect location. Might be loud
Loved the location and cool older hotel right across from the beach you definitely pay for the location to walk to beach and all the shops and eateries
Unfortunately the manager allowed a party in our nice quiet courtyard ( where we can watch a sunset from the common deck) and the loud guests drinking and screaming ruined a night.
The next night the same guests were partying in their room and I called twice before they finally shut them down at 1:30 am. Also the hotel has no smoking on premises bit the guests smoked on patios. So I realize unruly guests are not the hotel, but the enforcement of rules was lacking.
Just be prepared and know that ahead of time and you’ll love the location!
