Typical California beach hotel, needs some updating but staff was great and room was clean and secure. If you like access to the beach and people watching this is a great choice.

Right next to the beach. Loud music and people making noise, but the location is excellent. Room was clean and staff was wonderful.

Standard room, nothing special. The mattress was old and sagged in the center. Located close to the beach, but the area is very noisy and loud, especially on the weekends. Parking is a plus, but they allow others to park in the lot for a fee, so there isn’t always a spot open. Some people don’t know how to stay inside the lines, so another car won’t fit in the next space over.

My second time staying here. It’s nothing fancy. It’s very convenient for beach and dining options. Short walks to everything. The staff is great!! Front desk employees are awesome! I won’t stay anywhere else when I go back to Ocean Beach. And I plan to be going back.

Avoid room 101. The door from the courtyard to outside the front of the hotel is right next to rm 101. This door slams closed every time someone goes in/out. People walking around the top floors sound like elephants walking around. Don’t plan on trying to sleep in past 7…it just won’t happen with doors slamming, guest walking/running around in the top rooms. Also be aware there are a multitude of belligerent homeless right in front of the hotel shouting all times of the day/night. This of course is out of the control of the hotel.

Location, location, location!

Location, location, location! Just across the street from Ocean Beach. Free parking!!! Lots of great restaurants in walking distance. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable bed and shower. Relatively quiet for being in the thick of this beachfront town. Easy driving access to many of the must sees in San Diego. Have already recommended to family and friends
