10/10 Excellent
"While I think this may be an older hotel, it cannot be beat. It was the only place I could find that was actually on the beach. Right next door to two amazing restaurants, Poseidon and Jakes. Both of which have prime sunset views. The employees were very nice and accommodating. With a room, you also get beach chairs, an umbrella and towels. How great is that? When I go back to San Diego, I will absolutely be staying there again!"
