Hotels in the hotel circle are generally good, with great competition. They are comfortable to stay in, have large swimming pools, and friendly service staff. It only takes 5 or 8 minutes to drive out to buy food, and it is also convenient to go to tourist attractions.

Hotel was quaint and quiet but also in need of a lot of upgrades. There was no outlet available where they had the microwave so I had to move it myself into the bathroom area to use it. At check-in I was told check-out time was noon but housekeeping was banging on the door at 11:30, telling me check-out was at 11 and very rude about it.

We had the corner room on the second floor which was large and bright. The bathroom is large enough to change clothes in. The location is perfect. We could walk to a bench to watch the sunset in less than 2 minutes. I took a walk down Mission Blvd to Belmont Park which is about 2.2 miles away. The walk was delightful. Lots of small businesses and fun looking houses. Bed was comfortable, there was a small refrigerator and microwave and coffee pot. Thank you!

Ocean Villa Inn

If you are a pet owner this is an exceptional property and even otherwise it's a hidden gem. Surprisingly low vagrant activity on the property and the outside lighting is fair. Probably why the management can be nosey and pushy. You get a used car salesman feel at the front desk but, the stay is worth it, if they don't become passive aggressive with you. It does have that California 'control everything' type nuances....Rooms are clean, you won't be afraid to get into the beds or use the furniture. Small accommodating pool and staff doesn't make you uncomfortable using it. Cool location overlooking dog beach in OB, if you are lucky enough to get the ocean facing side. I do recommend this property.

The hotel worked for a quick stay. The location was pretty good which maybe was the best aspect of the hotel. The rooms were a bit on the older side and when I initially walked in the room smelt a bit of cigarette smoke and mould. There was hot water in the bathroom pipe but tepid/luke warm water in the shower. Someone came to look at the shower and they said there was hot water though when I took a shower later in the evening, there was not hot water so that was a challenge. Overall, it's not somewhere I'd stay again but it served it's purpose as I had an extra day in the city and needed to find a place to stay on short notice.

The boss was very nice. He booked the wrong date and accommodated us. However, he didn’t see anyone when we checked out the next day. As a result, the deposit was not refunded. He wrote a message and did not return it to us. It was 50🔪, but we are still very grateful. Bar

It is a motel, but the security is very good. Maybe it is too close to the old town. There are more tramps nearby. The hygiene is very clean. There will be train sounds sometimes. The quality of sleep is good. Then there is no delay! Everything else is OK.

The location is on a concrete island. Literally. The on ramp to the freeway & the off ramp from the freeway. It was difficult to find the way to the “entrance” I felt vey nervous getting out of my car. It was nighttime and many street people hanging out at the building. The night clerk was so sweet and helpful. I think she could see the fear in my eyes. She put me in a room within view of the office. She also let me keep my car in front of office. The room was clean and comfy. The carpet was disgusting. Shower head barely worked. Overall, for the rate it was a good deal. They need to install a safety door latch. . I would have slept better. Checkout was super easy and friendly.
