The waves crashing over the rocks...a heated to 88 degrees pool...next to Lion cafe...walk to downtown... comfortable beds AND pullout couch...this hotel has everything we needed and we were so satisfied and loved OB! Short walk to cliffs and caves. It's was just perfect for us and WE WILL be back!
I love this cozy little hotel. The staff is so nice, helpful and accommodating. The room is charming and clean. The location is perfect and I love to wake up in the mornings to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks. We spend quite a bit of time in the courtyard since there are plenty of sitting options. I look forward to my next stay.
Beautiful and convenient location! I'm so glad i stayed here. The onyl reason why this isn't getting 5 stars is because there is construction going on that had a pile driver going early in the morning right on the cliff that the hotel sits on. I get migraines so it was terrible for me to wake up to. There was no warning from the hotel in adavnce and i had to oark on the street instead of the reserved spots for the hotel, and I was told as I parked my car for the night that my car might be towed if I parked there, even though the construction is obviously for the hotel.
Parking was terrible. I got a room with two rooms for 4 adults and yet they could only give us one parking permit. My don ended up getting a parking ticket. Also the hot water was out. Fortunately they were able to fix it quickly
This was one of the most disgusting properties for an outrageous price that we have ever experienced in decades of travel on numerous continents.
The heated pool took 3 days to get heated after asking 3 different employees who never turned the heat on. The tub didn’t drain. There were ants and ant traps in the kitchen. The blinds were thilthy. The exterior of windows so dirty you couldn’t see out of them. The sofa and bed were so old and nasty. Water was shut off for half a day because of a pipe issue. We were asked at night to move our car for construction the next day. Coffee in rooms and lobby were packets of foldgers! Cheers!
This was a wild experience of false advertising and I CANNOT recommend this hotel at all. This hotel is unfortunately not the relaxing cliff side experience that is shown.
We arrived the the hotel and it’s very very run down but the main issues were:
1) the large hotel deck/grass/patio overlooking the ocean that is in the all the photos (here and on the hotel website itself) is completely gone and in its place are large construction equipment and metal rods and torn up dirt. This is absolutely NOT the cliffs view that is advertised. You cannot look to the ocean without staring right at the construction and the advertised deck is simply not there.
2) the room does not match the photos. The photos for our room showed a renovated bathroom, a nice bed, and a nice sitting area. We arrived and found a very old bathroom, poor furniture in a sitting room, and a terrible bed that hardly fit the room and you couldn’t even walk around it. The renovated space was not what we saw.
This was a highly overpriced and misleading experience, we ended up speaking with the kind man at the front desk for a refund and booked something else for the night. It seems this was not the first time someone found a different hotel and room than expected.
Additional notes:
The hotel pool was very cold (January but advertised as heated), fire pits were available for rent for $50 a day among other items for rent, and the facility is overall very run down.
We had ants on the countertops and by the sink in the kitchen and gnats flying around everywhere. There is a lot of fake plants that were just collecting dust, they should just remove them…. Looks as though they haven’t done a deep cleaning in awhile but beds were comfortable and didn’t bother complaining at the time we just adjusted
Loved listening to the waves crash on the cliffs below. Took severals long walks along the Sunset Cliffs. Just a few minutes drive to the shops and restaurants in Pacufic Beach.

This property was very highly rated in its reviews. I have never been to San Diego prior to this visit and had no way of knowing what to expect.
The hotel was probably very pretty at one time. It has a beautiful courtyard balanced with an incredibly inconvenient construction project where guests should be sitting in peace watching the Pacific. The hotel staff is very nice but the facilities need work.
The room I stayed in was nice, but not for 2 people. There was nothing to sit on except a bed. I stayed below a family with children. The noise mirrored that of a horse trotting over the floor boards.
There are only 3 places within a few blocks you can order "food", not forgetting there is a gas station and liquor store close by.
The next decent restaurants are about 1.5 miles. Only good for those driving.
If I returned to San Diego I would stay in Pacific Beach or the Mission Beach area. Everything you need is there.
When you stay at the Inn, it is only for the basics. In exchange for almost 200 per night, you will get an Ocean view (no access). I believe it is overpriced based on its current circumstances.
Perhaps when the Inn has been renovated, there will be a vending machine area and a way to access the water.
Thank you!
