Not sure…
Easy check in/out. Very nice view from the hotel. Area its just ok, the room was clean, very tiny and the mattress sooo uncomfortable. I don’t think I would bring little kids here.

Perfect location. Might be loud
Loved the location and cool older hotel right across from the beach you definitely pay for the location to walk to beach and all the shops and eateries
Unfortunately the manager allowed a party in our nice quiet courtyard ( where we can watch a sunset from the common deck) and the loud guests drinking and screaming ruined a night.
The next night the same guests were partying in their room and I called twice before they finally shut them down at 1:30 am. Also the hotel has no smoking on premises bit the guests smoked on patios. So I realize unruly guests are not the hotel, but the enforcement of rules was lacking.
Just be prepared and know that ahead of time and you’ll love the location!

This is the spot for the Ocean Beach experience for sure. Oceanfront and in the middle of the action. Lots of colorful people. Steps away from the beach. Weird things happened in my room, bumped in the head while I was sleeping and found my bed was soaking wet for no apparent reasons. The night clerk was reluctant to help as he said the cleaning crew had already left and he didn’t have access to the linens. Somehow they were able to access bedding. Because I wasn’t about to sleep in a wet bed. He could’ve handled it much better.
