There was barely any beach view the room was muggy and the toilet placement was ridiculous
Place is a great location. Its clean and close to all the excitement of the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
being right infront of the beach was very nice and convenient, although being that close to the beach does come wish humidity. the rooms should come with ceiling fans to help with air flow. i’ve also never stayed in a hotel without a microwave, but other than those 2 things it was a great stay and the staff was great
Room was very clean, beds comfortable and towels soft. Staff friendly and helpful!!! Only negative is rooms are not quiet-can hear next room occupant snoring. Overall great experience and would stay there again. Locations is perfect!
Great hotel across the street from the Ocean Beach. The room was small but but nicely updated. The beach access was great with many restaurants within easy walking distance. It is the beach area so there is a wide variety of people in the area. Anywhere from homeless on up. Just be prepared to accept everyone.
My husband and I absolutely love this property. We come there for our birthdays and for summertime vacation. We were just there this past weekend stayed in room 220 and 320 and 318. Absolutely love it can’t wait to come back again. Thank you for everything.
I really enjoyed my stay. Clean, comfortable room, right on the beach, many great restaurants and brewpubs in the area. Cool beach vibe, public transportation is good for getting to other parts of the city.
Extremely thin walls where u can hear every conversation in the room next door and just outside on the street. Front desk not welcoming at all. However housekeeping fantastic. Very old building with minimal renovations done. TV with LED screen damaged. Location however is awesome right beachfront and next door to wonderland.
Great location if you are into the action! Good room with fridge but no microwave. Small bathroom but nice shower. Courtyard is nice place to have a drink or eat takeout. Easy free parking.
