The Property Location is awesome.The staff is very cooperative and helpful especially Mr. Mark who gave us the initial briefing about the hostel and its facilities.I enjoyed my stay over there , made new friends and had a healthy interaction with other hostel mates.The Ocean beach is not that much far away from there.You can have soft drinks and other snacks from the vending machine in the hostel at an affordable cost of 1 dollar.

The check in was easy and the parking space was extremely handy. Being able to use the two bikes was great as we were able to ride up and down the boardwalk. The location is great, you are right next to mission beach and there are supermarkets, bars and food spots less than a minute walk away. The apartment is beautifully decorated and was extremely clean. We really enjoyed our stay!

    Situated right on the beachfront, the location can’t be beat. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to store our luggage as we arrived early via Uber. Comfy bed and the room was quiet. Great features such as filtered water and espresso machines and an honesty bar too. The outdoor lounge area with music is such a nice touch. The nearby grassy knoll park to the south is gorgeous too.

    The location is great, right on the beach, and walking distance from good eating. I was in town for a conference at a resort about 2 blocks away, I’m happy I stayed at the Ocean Park Inn, it was way more affordable and the rooms were nicer. Bed was super comfortable, room spacious, nicely decorated and very clean. Staff were very friendly and super helpful.

    Excellent location! This hostel faces the magnificent Pacific Ocean. It is the very best seaside hostel I have stayed. I wish I would have known this hostel earlier as I feel that the previous four nights were wasted on staying at various beachside hostels at San Diego and LA.

    This hotel is on the beach. There is nice area with sunbeds and chillin with ocean view. Beach is long so you can enjoy long walks. In the hotel you can borrow surfs, boogie boards for free. Hotel is next to the lifeguard headquarter so you can feel very safe. Nice places to eat are in walking distance.
