There is absolutely no parking for check in. The bathroom door would slide open, would not stay closed. The tv did not work. The staff is not there after check in so you are SOL.

Great location

We loved how close to the beach this hotel is! It’s the perfect spot if you want to be right by all the restaurants, bars, and ocean! It looks like the room had been recently renovated as well.

This hotel was right on Pacific Beach with a very short walk to the beach access stairs. Staff was very nice and helpful. Room was small (as other reviews stated) but very clean. All the essentials were in the room. Safe, coffee maker, refrigerator, comfy bed. Hotel has a huge stock of free to use beach gear- umbrellas, towels, chairs and more. Fabulous value for the location. Only downside is the description of parking was incorrect. There is NO option for third party bookings to use parking on site. Only option is street parking. Doable, but read signs carefully. Spaces open up after 8 PM. We found a spot two blocks away to leave the car for our two night stay.

Great location. Good room. Lame front desk

Room was good, clean and bed comfortable. The hanging slider door for the bathroom kept drifting open which was annoying. Partial ocean view is limited but there. You could hear the surf from your bed which was nice. No ice machine and or water to refill my bottle. Only had for purchase water in plastic bottles. Parking is a challenge but eventually found a spot. You might want to spring for the $30 paid parking but that seems steep for what amounts to an on street parking space. Biggest issue: front desk was not helpful and exhibited very low level energy when answering basic questions including suggestions about where to park.

Great beach hotel

GREAT hotel, right on the beach. Very friendly front desk staff. They let us check in a little early. We were able to barrow beach chairs, umbrellas and towels each day which was awesome. The location was awesome. Walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. When I come back to San Diego, I will definitely stay here again.

The desk staff was unhelpful and not very kind at check in. There should be a loading space for unloading luggage into the room since there isn’t close parking. They didn’t refill our coffee when they cleaned the room. There was loud partying in the room next to us all night.
