Great little place! Parking was a little tricky, but you just have to be a little patient and look for spots on side streets within a short walk to the Inn. We will be back!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and everything was good but it was not particularly nice and had no frills. It is good for the price and it's right by the ocean- literally on the boardwalk. Exceeded my expectations. They even upgraded us for free by selecting us as Guest of the Day. Homey vibe.

Right at the boardwalk. Parking can be a challenge if you don’t reserve one but that could get expensive at $30 a night.

This is an interesting boutique hotel. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was during the evening considering this is in a very busy area of Pacific Beach. It was unusually cool and windy which we were underprepared for. Bedding in the room was a bit light, however the hotel staff was excellent and it was a bargain for the area. No breakfast on site - walk around the corner to Drift cafe. It was excellent!

Cute property with very nice staff. On the beach and close enough to walk to almost anything. Parking off site was successful. Only problem was the shades don’t block the outside street lights and the room was light all night.

The hotel was clean, nice quality bedding, good water pressure, remodeled and up to date. On the downside, the description was a bit misleading, absolutely no ocean view or even a view of anything except the guest room of the next door hotel. The staff was friendly but be aware the lobby was closed at unpredictable times like 3 hours in the middle of the day when we wanted beach towels and chairs. Too bad because the building is updated and safe, but cost cutting everywhere else made the stay good but not great or very good.
