Convenient but noisy

There were a couple hiccups - We checked in, only to find other people sleeping in the room - We had a pet and had wanted a first floor room, (which we had booked), but had to take a room on the second floor once our booked room was not avail.. once in the room, (after 10 PM), there was loud music blaring from people hanging out on the beach walk, and also - be aware that there is a lot of airplane noise at this property. But, the beds were comfortable and the room was clean.

Really liked the location of this hotel. You are right on the beach, or as close as you're going to get. Our window looked out over Abbott street. Wednesday night there is a street fair. There were musicians playing until after 10pm. Great entertainment without leaving your room. Bed was comfy. Staff was friendly. Convenient parking for guests only. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Reminded me of Venice beach.

The location was a 10. The actual hotel was maybe a 3. We were there for 2 nights and so were the 3 people who stayed in th room next to us. We could hear everything! Them laughing arguing snoring coughing blowing their nose. You name it we probably heard it. I would say do not stay here. Sorry.

we thought this was the perfect beach hotel. The location is amazing. The hotel is right outside the beach. We could see people surfing right from our balcony. The staff was so friendly and really made the extra effort to make us feel welcome uncomfortable. We could tell the rooms had been recently updated with some nice touches. We felt the price was excellent for the proximity to ocean and all the OB action.

It's the perfect location right on Ocean beach. The view from our room couldn't have been better. We booked the "Suite King", but on the property it's referred to as the Pirate King room. The room is a decent size, but the bathroom is super tiny with a pedestal sink, so it's difficult to do your hair or makeup. The bed was REALLY soft, too soft for my preference, and there is no closet, just a tiny armoire. The room itself could use a little updating, but it was great to be able to walk to anything we needed (restaurants, bars, shops, etc.) Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
