The location was great, staff were very friendly, and the room perfectly suited our needs. The two criticisms are that the shower was pretty dirty and smelled of mold/mildew - perhaps just the byproduct of being in a coastal, humid area. Additionally it was in a pretty loud area so could hear lots of street traffic, and a big truck idled outside of the window for about 20 minutes one night.

The tile walking up to office and door to the rooms, had big broken uneven tiles.My sister tripped on uneven tile and tried not to fall , but she did fall and even hit her head on the glass door entrance and had abrasions on her foot. The office worker came out to assist us, which was appreciated. The office worker said he would notify owner of tiles. Thank goodness my sister is ok( she is 73), and she was not seriously hurt and no broken bones. She could have been seriously hurt. The tiles are a huge hazard and should be repaired .

San Diego get a way

This is a very cute little hotel. The staff is very friendly & room was clean & fresh. The view was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the patio in the sun. There are several non-chain coffee/bistro type places within walking distance of the hotel tha offered good food & friendly service. Our only complaint was the beds were not very comfortable. It felt like there was little or no padding over the springs. The patio furniture could use a refresh also. We would stay here again if we have the opportunity to vist San Diego again. Loved the area!

Nice Inn on the Sunset Cliffs

I will start off by saying that, overall, our stay was very good. At my first impression, the property appeared smaller and shabbier than what is portrayed in the picture. However, it is a seaside inn, so weathering is to be expected. The pool is very small, but heated. (We did not use due to the temperature being a bit too cool.) The proximity to the Sunset Cliffs, Newport Beach, and various other attractions are a definitely plus. We had a 1 bedroom which had a full kitchen and living room. The room was clean and a nice space for a couples getaway. The bed was a little uncomfortable, but the linens and bedspread were very nice. The bathroom is small with the door almost hitting the toilet and no real space to put toiletries, however, the dual head shower was nice. My only complaint is that the staff should be more aware of which rooms they are putting groups with young children. We had a family above us that for hours sounded like they were performing a circus act! The children of the same family screamed the entire time they were in the pool which is literally two steps from the door of every room. Also, for those staying soon, they are doing what appears to be strengthening the seawall that lines the hotel, so there will be construction vehicles in any photo you take from the Inn. The workers did not start until around 8, which was fine for us, but just beware if you like to sleep in!!

Amazing views and service!

This hotel and staff is absolutely amazing. We absolutely loved our stay, the views were amazing and my girls loved the heated salt water pool! They were working on the lower level deck so there was mild construction, however it did not affect the stay at all.

Areas for improvement

I enjoyed my stay at the Inn and have three suggestions for management to consider for improvement. 1. The blow dryer is very noisy but does not effectively dry hair. 2. The shower drainage is quite slow. 3. The Wi-Fi network was inconsistent, slow, and unreliable during half of my stay.
