Was right by the beach, very beautiful. Was a little upset I had to go to a different hotel to check in, but it was only a 5 minute walk so nothing horrible. Rooms aren't the most sound proof but other than that it was a nice stay

SUPER LOCATION and Brand new remodels! I think we were one of the first in our room. Only downside, they were completing the other 16 rooms at the same time. It was noisy during the day and parking was limited by a dumpster taking up 'our' spots.

Kitchen floor dirty and room smelled. The room itself lacked amenities: dish towels , paper towels and a freezer. Checking in was a bit disappointing he wasn't too friendly. I asked for dish towels and got bath had towels. The

reuniting with family It's the beach in San Diego for people who can't afford paying $300+ per night. If you're just going to chill at the beach, it's fine, but definitely a 70's motif. Plenty of good food/nightlife withing walking distances.

This place is ok. Definitely an apartment building recently converted into a hotel. There is no office on the premises you gotta check in at another hotel two blocks away. Strange. The room was fine, a little beat up for the price but quiet and comfortable enough. Bed was good enough. But the location was amazing. Right on the beach far enough away from the chaos of the boardwalk but close enough to walk too. I’ll check for other places next time but I’d go back here for the right price.

Ok stay, don't pay for a "kitchen" The room was spacious and in decent condition.We booked a room with a kitchen with the intent of using it The kitchen was woefully under equipped. There were no drinking glasses, semi functioning mini fridge, a broken microwave. No toaster. There were were some dishes and cookeware, broken silverware, no dishtowels, napkins or placemats. No point in paying extra $$ for kitchen unit. Parking is very challenging, but having been in the neighborhood before we knew that.

Note that the check-in for this property is at another property a block and a half away. Limited parking an available on site so you may have to park at their other property and walk over. It’s a beachfront motel though so it’s hard to knock it!

The room was small but cute and clean and had a small cooktop, microwave and fridge. Awesome location just across the street from the beach. Loved it!! Would stay there again
