Fell in love with Ocean Beach!!
I don’t usually leave reviews but our hotel stay was just fantastic! So close to the beach and so many restaurants and little shops to check out. We were so happy with the cleanliness of the room and it was just really casual. The parking lot is tight but it all worked out. We will definitely plan a return visit.

Will recommend and come again!
Our room tidy upper was wonderful. After discussing our needs with her, she efficiently obliged all of our needs on our 5 night stay! Being an "on the beach" hotel, we did manage to bring sand into the room! When we returned in the evening, our room was ready to go. Kudos to her and the front desk staff! Jill

The doors could use some soundproofing. The courtyard and area around the hotel are quite noisy at night.

I love this small hotel right on the beach! This is the second time I have stayed there. I love the views from the outside courtyard where I can sit and have coffee. It can get a little noisy in the area at night due to the bars and restaurants close by.

Awesome vibes awesome experience great views
Such an awesome experience we went for an overnight trip wanted something close to the beach so we could hang out all day and then just walk to our hotel without the hassle of loading and unloading all of our beach stuff lugging everything around back and fourth on top of having to deal with parking . This hotel offered free parking and the rooms although not all that big were cozy and clean which is the most important for me because all we used the room for was to sleep . The ocean beach strip offered such an awesome night life as sooon as you step foot on the street bars restaurants. The view from the shared balcony is amazing I was concerned since our room had a partial view I wasn’t going to get a great experience but that shared patios made it to where you could sit down and enjoy the view at any time . Waking up hearing the seagulls and the waves is the best at this hotel you will not be disappointed
