We really liked the staff, the room, the parking, and the location - it was awesome being so close to the beach and right on the N Judah Streetcar line, which makes it so easy to go anywhere in SF. (we only had a rental car one day of our stay). We would have liked to have a bedside lamp, that was the only amenity the room. lacked. Loved having 4 plugs for my two laptops and my sisters and my phones. It was clean and comfortable and that staff were very helpful.

Be forewarned this hotel is loud, our room was directly above the bar and the music didn't stop until 2am. Parking is hard, if the lot is full (the lot is tiny). We circled the block several times and ended up in a sketchy spot. This is definitely not an ideal hotel for families but it works as a dive motel and somewhere to lay your head down at the end of the night.

It gets 5 stars not because its a 5-star motel (motel not hotel) it gets 5-stars because location wise and time of year it was a great value and reasonable overall price for an outer sunset place to stay during new years. Walking to java beach every morning brings me back

This was our 5th stay here - a true hidden gem... simple rooms, but spotless. The front desk gent (manager? owner?) is a total class act - very much cares for his guests, looks after them - a true delight. There are large and small rooms - the small ones overlook the parking area to the rear, and are quieter; the larger ones overlook Judah St and the street cars/MUNI - we personally love its sounds: shades of Manhattan. We've stayed at a couple other nearby places - but the Ocean Inn is by far far our go to place. How about a 12 on a scale of 10? :-) x100

For a low cost hotel, very clean, rooms have been redone and very nice for cost. Parking is limited. The one issue we had was the bar in nextdoor. Band started playing after 10 and got extremely loud until very late.
