Pros:

Cute, clean hotel just steps from the beach. It was fun watching the surfers. The hotel had a beautiful interior courtyard with tables, a fountain and string lights. The staff was helpful and let us check in early. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location if you are looking to be on the beach with a busy, youthful vibe. Loud at times but city has quiet hrs at 10:00. I loved it!

Clean rooms, close to restaurants and the beach. Nice place to stay if you plan on taking your dog. Staff is friendly and helpful. Bathroom is pretty small, but CLEAN and serviceable. We will definitely go back.

Pros:

We came down for a wedding weekend for a family member. We travel.with our 12 yo Lab Lexi wherever we go. This is place is the most dog friendly place we have stayed at in a long time.
The staff is very helpful and will assist in any way they can. The room was fresh and clean. We had a first floor with a patio area that had a view of the pier.
Would we stay again? Definitely, next time we head down that way we will stay again.

Pros:

The street outside the hotel was absolutely packed with literally 200+ young people milling around, homeless guys playing drums on the street, and clouds of smoke… through a random Wednesday afternoon and evening in October. Probably very fun for young people who want to party, but not so much for others.

Pros:

Place is near the beach though Ocean Beach seem to be too tired & same applies to this hotel. Mission Beach & area is a couple notches better. Will I go there again, perhaps yes but will pick the second or third floor rooms. No elevator btw.

Pros:

The first room had a view (back and only window) of a broken toilet that the staff put in the back, the second room they moved us too(next day) someone had pealed the paint off by the floor of the shower and the calking on the dry wall were the paint was pealed was falling off. However, the beach was DIRECTLY across the street and that made up for it. Be aware, no staff at front desk from 8 PM to 7:30 AM. Don’t run out of towels or toiletries during that time
