We chose "suite" oceanview. Suite is overstating, as was really 2 beds in single room with 2 person table and small balcony. Was reasonably clean and beds very comfortable. View amazing. Bathroom beyond small, very dated room. Many things not working. Staff just made excuses and said as it was weekend nothing could be fixed. Office staff really displayed a disconnected, Oh well attitude about most requests. Because we could only have air or heat, not both, brought us a portable box fan covered in dirt and rust. Felt very overpriced. Honestly, you are paying for location and view, if you pick oceanview.

What a great stay - an amazing and huge patio overlooking the beach and pier. We could watch the sunset and see the pier from the bed. Morning coffee on the patio was perfect. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on in a long time. The courtyard, with lights, a fountain and three stories of tables and chairs overlooking the ocean and surfers. On top of it all they are so dog friendly and accommodating, going over the top. Great and friendly staff. Definitely will be coming back and met other regular guests as well. Perfect spot in Ocean Beach.

The hotel is very convenient and very close to the beach—it takes only one minute to walk there. It’s also in the middle of all the restaurants and bars in downtown OC. However, it’s very small compared to the price we paid; on the website it looks bigger and nicer than it actually is. Plus, it’s noisy. If you’re not a dog fan, you might want to skip this one because the hotel is dog-friendly, and the dogs do make noise sometimes.
