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!!

Loved this quaint hotel! Staff were wonderful. I would say the one thing is that there are areas in the pictures where there are lounge chairs... those areas are off limits due to erosion, which I didn't expect. However great location! Walked everywhere! (.75 to ocean beach) I recommend!

Not So Great Stay

Our stay wasn’t all that bad at this hotel but there some things I’d like to point out. First off, the desk person who greeted us, Terrell was rude and impatient. I tried to ask him questions and he talked down to me like I was bothering him. He rolled his eyes at me and wouldn’t even let me finish asking my question before he rudely interrupted me and spoke to me in a condescending manner. When I paid for the room at check in, he never gave me a receipt and didn’t bother to tell me there would be a $25/day charge for incidentals. Now I know there’s usually charges when you check into a hotel, but not providing a copy of the form I signed at check in or mentioning the charges was careless on his part. He told me I’d get a receipt upon checkout. The single queen room is very small. There’s no chair in the room if you don’t mind sitting on the bed. The windows and doors have blinds, but tinting the windows and doors for privacy and keeping the room cool would make better sense. The parking is only 10 spaces in 10 different driveways. If you don’t get there in time to get a driveway, you have to park in the street. The driveways where you park are poorly lit and the hotel seems too cheap to install any lighting back there for its guests! The pool hrs are from 9am to 9pm- but when we got back to our room at 9:40 pm to go to sleep, there were people still in the pool - so they obviously don’t enforce that particular rule! Ots an ok place to stay but not my 1st choice!
