The room was spotless and everything had been recently renovated to create a real beach bungalow vibe. Literally across the street from the pier and beach.
This was a tremendous value and I will be staying there again.
Room was clean. A little small, but didn’t spend all that much time in the room other than to sleep. View was beautiful. Pier nearby. Great food just down the street. Not far from anything.
The first room had issues but they changed us to a different room which was nicer but had refrigerator noise that was annoying other than that a good stay as always
Great room and location for the price! We had a great time staying at Los Bungalows and will be our go to spot to stay in the future any time we visit San Diego. Plenty of things to do and see within walking distance. We drove and they have free parking right there which is nice. It is a contactless property and it was very easy to communicate with them. They respond very quickly and are incredibly nice. They checked in via text a few times to ensure we had everything we needed. Love this place!
Place was perfect. Very convenient. Ocean right across the street, bar food convenient store all in walking distance, staff was wonderful most important parking. I will go back.
Great experience overall with no complaints! The room was very spacious and nice, and was spotless when we arrived. The parking was very conveniently located on property and the location to the beach was perfect, it's literally across the small road across from the property. The dishes, glasses and toiletries provided were sufficient and we definitely plan on staying again. I've noticed some complaints in some reviews about the contactless check in process being tedious and I assure you it's not. They are in communication with you the whole time and as long as you follow the very simple instructions there are absolutely zero issues, and if you need anything at all there is a text number you can reach out to and they are very very responsive. We definitely will return to this property again when visiting this location!
For the most part the room was clean. The area around the base of the bed and walls had markings on them as if from the mop. There were also handprints on the pocket doors. Nothing major, but noted.
I will definitely stay again. Loved the contactless service, the Tulum vibe room with kitchenette was awesome. Across the street from the beach and next to restaurants. All walking distance. The amenities were great.
Looking for a 5 star resort? Keep scrolling. Looking for a small, quiet, clean, bug free room with a comfortable bed that’s less than a minute walk to the sand and 5 minute walk to the pier? If so this place is great. We stayed here 7days and it was great! Check in kind of irritated me at first but wasn’t a big deal.
