Great place, clean updated rooms, very eclectic area but everything walking within blocks. I didn't like the foam mattress as it was hot and like sleeping in a creator. Otherwise fantastic.

We were greeted and tended to with nothing but kindness & courtesy. The admitting clerk even carried our luggage to our room. The bathroom was very tiny, there were no screens on the windows & very limited seating. BUT the outdoor balconies overlooking the beach were phenomenal!

With the exception that the hotel is beachfront, other than the location everything in this property is a disappointment. The bathroom is ridiculously small, if you have to use the toilet it has to be in an angle to be able to do your business. The crowd in OB ( ocean beach) is a bit hippy, so be careful if you have a litttle one walking around neighborhood. The smell of marijuana is almost every block around the hotel. You’re pretty much paying for the location not the hotel nor the facility at the hotel… so if you have family and a little one I suggest OB is not the place for you. Learned it the hard way.

Room was VERY loud on weekend nights due to the location of the hotel (not their fault). Rooms are very small, but clean. Little shop in the lobby for some necessities. Directly across from the main area of Ocean Beach.

My Wife and I took off to Ocean Beach for a night to meet up with my son and his girlfriend. Quant little surf town ,nice vibe. The hotel set us up with a oceanfront and nice little patio to watch the ocean waves and the surfers. The staff was excellent and friendly. Dont expect the Hilton but if you like laid back and a little rustic . This is the place

I’ve stayed here a few times. It’s close to the beach, a great price and feels safe. The guys at the desk are super friendly and helpful. Our bathroom smelled like sewer would be my only complaint. Avoid room 312 lol. I’d stay there again.

We liked our stay. The hotel is well kept and staff were helpful. The room was not very big but it is an older hotel. The bathroom lacked any counter space. A shelf would have been nice. The property is in the flight path of departing jets, but it wasn’t all that bad. It was nice to be right across the street from the beach and there were many places to eat.

Never stay here on a Wednesday noght. The noise was horrible. I was originally staying 2 nights. The first time I went down to the desk, I cancelled my second nighjt. A couple hours later I turned in my keys, didn;t even stay one night. The room was very, very small considering the cost.

Kyler was great. The property itself was not good. Doors to rooms looked like they needed a good paint job, there’s a mildew smell in room, thermostat did not work as it was set and locked, no heat and wall (ambiance fireplace) didn’t work, phone did not work, refrigerator kept coming out and tipping over its housing under the makeshift counter, lamp went out because of a surge, no tissue by beds, and noisy in the courtyard. Not worth my money spent. The surrounding area felt very unsafe and there was various “shady” activities at night. Even heard a dog being abused outside the window. I would like a refund.
