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.

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

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.

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!

Cute rooms. Be sure to call and see if there is construction going on as the cliffs are being shored up, and it can get noisy.

Beautiful and peaceful. Saw the post about cockroaches and was super paranoid about that…so, even as I looked for them I didn’t see a single bug. Super clean all the way around. We just love this spot

Charming Inn with a Gorgeous View

This was a great place to stay on vacation in San Diego. It's location right on top of Sunset Cliffs was amazing and we loved watching the sun go down over the water at the edge of the cliffs. A charming little place that was surprisingly quiet given the number of folks staying there, we would definitely stay here again if we evert go back to San Diego.
