I stayed in a room with two double beds for one night. The staff was nice and friendly. The room was a little dated, especially the bathroom, but it was clean and comfortable. It was a bit noisy at night because of its location right near the beach, but the location was perfect for exploring the area on foot.

Lovely (rare) beachside hotel experience. Nice staff, incredible access to the beach and restaurants. Stairs could use some love (to make it feel more worth the price) but rooms were nice and that's the most important thing.

The workers at this hotel were very nice and took good care of the property. There was no elevator and we were on the third floor and my 83 year old husband had a lot of difficulty carrying up our luggage, but we did enjoy being right on the beach.

It isn’t a fancy resort type place, but seemed literally minutes from everything we wanted to do. Rooms were clean, comfortable, quiet. You’re on the main drag of Ocean Beach and literally feet away from the Pacific and a great beach. Would stay again if we get back out there

Room was small but clean. Staff were friendly and location is great. There are many homeless people nearby and sleeping on the beach which is a bit of an eye sore, also is kinda dirty. Not on the hotel premises but in plain sight when looking out the windows or off the balcony.

The hotel is an old one, but great location right across from the beach. I would recommend the king suite because you’ll have a beautiful ocean view. But remember it is an active beach so it can get loud at times but it’s manageable. Wednesday they have a farmers market and it was wonderful the community was very helpful and welcoming.
