We loved all the flowers in the outdoor courtyard. Falling asleep listening to the Ocean was absolutely incredible and you have a front row view to watch the sunset. The staff are incredible, they are friendly and helpful. The room was very cute and comfortable. We will definitely be back to this property on our next trip to San Diego!!

Staff was nice and check in/out was quick and convenient. The stairs to the deck were closed off to repairs and I was pretty disappointed about that. Still a decent view of the cliffs. Very walkable area and ocean beach is about 15 minutes away. Probably wouldn’t stay here again but it’s cute and nice enough.

Decent.

Two bedroom suite was nice. View on the property was nice. Bottom area still under construction so no go there. The shower didn’t drain. The front desk people were all real nice though. Overall it was decent , quiet , but not worth the price. It’s not super walkable to OB unless you are active. Which was fine for me. Parking was hit or miss. But crazy expensive.

We had a 1 bdrm suite that smelled awful - damp and moldy. The extra room was nice, but the decor was OLD and needed upgrading and the AC didn’t cool the bedroom so it was never very comfortable. This place needs a remodel. Had we not been with friends, we probably would have left. Not worth $310.

Beautiful inn perched on cliffs above the beach!

This is a cute place on cliffs above the beach. The rooms are cute, very clean and comfortable. There is an absolutely beautiful garden in the center courtyard, with a heated pool beyond it, and a patio area with comfortable chairs.

Such a cute little boutique hotel! Overlooking the cliffs in the beach. I love that It was one block walk to a little local beach. There was entertainment by the pool on Saturday. The pool was fun. The kids loved it. It’s so cute and decorated and the flowers are so pretty. We will definitely be back.!

I booked this place as a birthday gift because it was near Sunset Cliffs. I called to see if we could do early check. The front desk staff was very professional and nice. She had housekeeping work on it, and we were able to check in 2 hrs before. The room had ac and large enough space for the two of us. Lighting was well lit. It had a microwave, mini fridge, 2 wine glasses, wine opener, and coffee maker. Bathroom was fully equipped w/ the essentials. The pool and lounge furniture was a great touch for relaxing. We had a meal out there overlooking the ocean. There was parking spaces by the garage on first come firat serve. If it is full, we just parked on the road. Overall, we were happy with our stay. We would definitely book again.

Historic charm, dramatic location

Hotel has historic charm, a dramatic setting on Sunset Cliffs, and a magnificent outdoor lounge right on the cliffs. 4 stars only because the mattress could have been firmer. We’ll definitely stay here again.

We had a 2 bedroom unit and it was perfect for our family. Location, location! Terrace was a great spot to admire the ocean and sunsets. Great insulation- outside noise disappears once windows are closed. Pool is heated and had pool toys for the kids. No air conditioning in the bedrooms but plenty of fans. When hotel lot was full, it was easy to find free street parking. Would love to stay there again.
