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.

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.

Loud Construction On-Site
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.

No parking
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

2/10 Poor

False advertising, nothing like the photos
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.

Listened to the waves crash - peaceful
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.

6/10 Good

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!
