Well in Europe when you see 2 stars hotel you don't have high expectations. But in this case we felt here better than in the 5 stars hotel we were staying in Las Vegas. I am not an often traveler to US and have chosen very carefully the location and it was top. Next to the ocean, were I could jog in the morning and walk in the evenings, safe and with one of the best restaurants in the San Diego area. The room was like new and very comfortable, equipped with everything we needed including complimentary expresso in our room. The service was outstanding and every morning we used the expresso machine at the reception - again free of charge and there were good options for a lights breakfast, for a very reasonable price. Staff was very polite and helpful. Yes there is a train passing nearby, but it was not noisy at nights. Free parking at the property was very comfortable also.

The check in was easy and the parking space was extremely handy. Being able to use the two bikes was great as we were able to ride up and down the boardwalk. The location is great, you are right next to mission beach and there are supermarkets, bars and food spots less than a minute walk away. The apartment is beautifully decorated and was extremely clean. We really enjoyed our stay!

Situated right on the beachfront, the location can’t be beat. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to store our luggage as we arrived early via Uber. Comfy bed and the room was quiet. Great features such as filtered water and espresso machines and an honesty bar too. The outdoor lounge area with music is such a nice touch. The nearby grassy knoll park to the south is gorgeous too.

The location is great, right on the beach, and walking distance from good eating. I was in town for a conference at a resort about 2 blocks away, I’m happy I stayed at the Ocean Park Inn, it was way more affordable and the rooms were nicer. Bed was super comfortable, room spacious, nicely decorated and very clean. Staff were very friendly and super helpful.

Excellent location! This hostel faces the magnificent Pacific Ocean. It is the very best seaside hostel I have stayed. I wish I would have known this hostel earlier as I feel that the previous four nights were wasted on staying at various beachside hostels at San Diego and LA.

This hotel is on the beach. There is nice area with sunbeds and chillin with ocean view. Beach is long so you can enjoy long walks. In the hotel you can borrow surfs, boogie boards for free. Hotel is next to the lifeguard headquarter so you can feel very safe. Nice places to eat are in walking distance.
