Very clean room. Staff checked me in efficiently. Wi fi was fast. Restaurants and bars in neighborhood were friendly and full of locals enjoying their evening. Room was basic but comfortable and clean. Will stay there again.

Great location! Loved being walking distance to the ocean! I will come back for sure!
This little motel is located in a quiet area very close to the beach. There were also few cute shops and eateries within walking distance. The staff were friendly and able to get us our rooms early after east coast flight arrivals. The rooms were spacious and I really appreciated the skylight in the bathroom on the top floor and peek of the sea from my room. The large windows were perfect although light sleepers might find it challenging with the sound of the trolley on the street below. All in all it was a lovely stay at what felt like a cute family hotel by the sea.
Located just a couple of blocks from the beautiful beach with an Irish pub Nextdoor. 3 stories and no elevator. The bed and pillows were comfy and our car did not get broken into while parked overnight in the hotel’s lot in back. This hotel is old but clean. The front desk is manned 8am to midnight.

Staff was really helpful and accommodating. The only thing that is tight is parking. First come first serve.
The room was very clean. But parking was not good for people that stayed there

Be forewarned this hotel is loud, our room was directly above the bar and the music didn't stop until 2am. Parking is hard, if the lot is full (the lot is tiny). We circled the block several times and ended up in a sketchy spot.
This is definitely not an ideal hotel for families but it works as a dive motel and somewhere to lay your head down at the end of the night.

It gets 5 stars not because its a 5-star motel (motel not hotel) it gets 5-stars because location wise and time of year it was a great value and reasonable overall price for an outer sunset place to stay during new years. Walking to java beach every morning brings me back
Clean room! Hot water! Comfy bed & feather pillows! I don’t care about an outdated pink bathtub, it was huge. I would stay again. One thing is the cali tram is right out the window yet I still slept hard.
Nice Clean room with WiFi and parking. Staff was friendly. The room was cold. No heating system only a plugin fan/heater that didn’t work that well.

The location was convenient. Two blocks from the beach and right on the muni line. The band in the bar downstairs was quite loud some nights. The vents on the heater needed cleaning desperately
rooms are spotless, the front staff the nicest i've ever dealt with in my life. parking is first come first serve but the front staff will make sure you have parking. it is noisy but not a problem for me 12/10 will continue to stay here everytime i need too!
This was our 5th stay here - a true hidden gem... simple rooms, but spotless. The front desk gent (manager? owner?) is a total class act - very much cares for his guests, looks after them - a true delight. There are large and small rooms - the small ones overlook the parking area to the rear, and are quieter; the larger ones overlook Judah St and the street cars/MUNI - we personally love its sounds: shades of Manhattan. We've stayed at a couple other nearby places - but the Ocean Inn is by far far our go to place. How about a 12 on a scale of 10? :-) x100
For a low cost hotel, very clean, rooms have been redone and very nice for cost. Parking is limited. The one issue we had was the bar in nextdoor. Band started playing after 10 and got extremely loud until very late.

Below the hotel there's a pub, and people are talking outside until 2 AM, making a lot of noise. In front of the hotel there's a subway line, which also makes a lot of noise until midnight.
