This is a fantastic hotel if you have dogs and want to visit the famous Ocean Beach Dog Beach.
Pros:

We loved the location of the hotel. The beach was right across the street and multiple restaurants were within easy walking distance. We also liked the free parking for guests, the fact that they are "dog friendly" and the main Dog Beach wasn't that far away. It was a great stay and we're already planning a return visit.

Cons:

The only complaint we had, and it's a minor one, is that the bed and pillows were a little softer than we would have liked.

Classic old hotel in a great location. Enjoyed the stay
Pros:

Great staff and a great location. Loved that parking was included. Nice courtyard right on the ocean. Great place to relax and people watch.

Cons:

Bathroom was small and did not provide anyplace to put any toiletries. They had drawers and a wardrobe in the main room but no storage in the bathroom. Some sort of shelves were needed so that you could actually unpack and not have to live out of your toiletry bag.
