if you are lucky to have an ocean view then that's what you are basing your review on. The property itself is very convenient. It is close to many great restaurants, shops and the boardwalk. However the rooms are definitely in need of an upgrade. The bathroom had an awful damp musky smell to it. The curtains had many "suspect" stains on them...don't even want to know. However, the staff was very nice and helpful. The lock on the door broke during our stay and the maintenance staff took care of it immediately.

I had a very good experience. The AC was loud, and it is a portable unit, but I booked it in part because it was cheaper than the options around it and it did not dissapoint. I would stay there again.

Location is great but be prepared to pay $37/day to park. If you don't, you will have to park a couple blocks away. Fitting in the shower could be tough for some too.

It was in a good central location but a little more rundown than I thought. You have to request room service and there were a bunch of warnings written on the key card (I.e. locking my car and always using the deadbolt while in the room) that made me feel unsafe. Though we stayed 3 nights and had a good time.

This is our go-to for staying right on Pacific Beach. We love this place! Staff is always friendly and warm, and although it’s not fancy, it has everything we need for a peaceful stay. No microwave in the room, but one in the lobby for our needs. Looking forward to our next stay!

Good location and right on the beach. Besides that, the only positive thing the hotel has is the ocean view, for an extra charge. Everything else about the property is poor, starting with the dated and rundown state of the whole building and rooms with old furniture and stained carpets that need to get replaced. Being an old property with no updates, the thin walls expose the guests to all the noise from other rooms and the street next to it. You'll get awakened very early every morning by the loud beeping of the garbage trucks, which goes on for a while, and if you're "lucky" like me, also by yapping dogs in the next room (paper thin walls!). According to Expedia, it's supposed to be a no-pets hotel -should be due to the thin walls and lack of insulation. But the hotel rude front desk guy admonished me when I complained about the barking dog, after I endured it for 1/2 hour and woke me up at 7, and told me they are a very pet friendly hotel...maybe so, but not very people friendly, judging by my experience. I requested upgrade to front view room when I checked in, for extra charge of course, and they put me next to the elevator and supply/maintenance room, though they had plenty of other rooms as I found out next morning. So after a terrible very early noisy morning I switched rooms, but it was dirty, the tiny bathroom had a dumped bottle of some goop covering half the floor, also a dead moth, and it smelled stale. Had to endure rude guy yelling at me to get a decent room!
