Ocean Inn

Parking is very limited.

Although room and property were clean, there were glaring problems. My room was the only one with a physical key that opened my door. The knob was installed backward. This was the only lock on the door (as a solo woman I was uncomfortable). I thought there had to be secondary locks. There was no evacuation information either. The room was barren, no real place to sit but the bed in such a big room. The desk is not a desk, it is a side table too high for utilizing as a desk (I had to work hovered over the bed). Only mirror was a small one above the sink, too high to see myself. Although the hotel advertised parking it was VERY limited. There was NO place for me to park when I returned after dinner. After realizing the closest parking space was blocks away, I pointed out their listing stated parking was included and the clerk moved his car from the handicapped spot and moved it into a garage near the property (I believe this was the owner, but then why are you taking up spots advertised to patrons?). Groups of men were congregating and drinking in the parking area further making it difficult to park. The clerk said they were always there.

Had to park in the street

Between the bar overflow under your ancient windows and the trolley turn-around thirty feet away, bring all the noise-cancelling gear you can fit into your suitcase Otherwise it's a decent cut rate motel - room bare but spacious, service and internet/cable OK, free parking in back it you get there early, and close to beach.

This property is conveniently located within walking distance of Ocean Beach, Golden Gate Park and other Outer Sunset attractions. The room was clean and recently painted and spacious, but there was no furniture other than a bed and small desk with chair. More seating options would be good and a lamp. There is a way to reduce the overbearing ceiling lights. No heat except a portable plug in heater (you may not need more; I read a review and brought an electric blanket to be sure). Great, well lit parking in lot. There is a lot of street noise from the train and the bar on the corner until about 1 am. However, the access to the train is great to get downtown and come back late. All worked out for us regardless.

another great night sleep, clean as always. parking is always a bit of a problem but if you can park you'll be fine lol looking forward to staying here next time i come to town! the bar does get a little rowdy but like i say in my other reviews some white noise and you'll be fine

big room, very fast check in, free parking, clean. exceeded expectations. was a bit loud- poor sound insolation in our room - it was in a corner, with a fire exit inside.

I like that it was close to UCSF, but it is a noisy area. Free parking is a plus, but it is first come basis. There is available parking on street as well. Walking distance to beach was nice, but it was super windy and cold when we were there. The Tran runs all day and night which is pretty noisy and there is a bar downstairs that can get noisy as well. Luckily we were there during the week. Overall it is not a bad area.

I like that it has a free parking. Room is clean & spacious. Bathroom is ok.

Convenient on site parking

Stayed for 3 nights to attend nearby Outside Lands festival. Room was dated but clean. Unfortunately, we never received cleaning service or fresh bath towels during our entire stay. Could not open windows for fresh air so had to leave front door open for air. The positive? Our 18 years old son said we were just being bougey and that he will try to stay here for the 2026 festival because of its convenient proximity to the event

The building is old, but the room was updated, with the exception of the old pink bathtub and wall tiles. It was a very spacious room, with a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker… the cheap tea bag type. Though it said non-smoking the sheets smelled “not fresh”. The windows did not lock, there were no screens, and they were a few inches from the floor (third floor, so NOT for children). One window glass was falling off and it had been duct taped, though that had come off… and it was impossible to close. Because of this there was a constant smell of weed smoke floating in all night from people smoking outside. There is no central heat, and because the windows did not close all the way, I was cold all night. The covers are flimsy at best. They provide a tiny heater for a huge room (see photo). The Tram line ran all night right outside the windows and it is VERY NOISY. Needless to say, very little sleep was possible. The host was nice about it, and I was able to get a refund for the second night.

Great area near the beach and Golden Gate Park. The front desk was very friendly and came to our room to help explain how to use the TV with two remotes. The bed was comfortable. The hotel is old. The bathroom was dirty. Had a very strong smell of cleaning products that was very unpleasant and never went away. Would not want to stay more than one night.

The reason you’re there is for the price. It’s a bit of a dive. The room is clean. The TV is a bit complicated but you can login with your own Netflix account. There is no Wi-Fi. Phone signal is weak near the beach. There is no view of the ocean. You get a view of the parking lot good shower pressure with good hot water.

The room was directly above a bar. It was loud until midnight. My second night the party seemed to move to the room above me and it was loud until 2 am. The smoke alarm in the room started to beep at 5am from the low battery. The room was not very clean. The soap and shampoo dispenser did not work It was not a good choice of a hotel.

Close to the beach. Hotel was ok for our needs( a close place to sleep after a Friday night football game. ) The room was huge with a modicum of furniture. Clean. Great bed. Shower had quite a bit of mold but hot and forceful! VERY NOISY as it was above a bar and trolley/bus line

The carpet wasn’t vacuumed, with debris spread out all over and spot near one bed that appears to be a dried vomit. One of the comforters appears unwashed.

It could be cleaner. There was a cleaning rag left in a shelf on the side of the bed and the light switch in the bathroom was really grimy. The employee who checked me in was very kind and carried my heavy suitcase up the two flights of stairs. Quick walk to the beach, and some eateries; a nice break from the more touristy and hectic parts of town. Due to no fault of the hotel, there was noisy construction behind the hotel that started in the morning. They keep the room heated all the time; the thermostat is taped in position so you can't turn off the heat. You can open the windows but there are no screens, so as a single woman I didn't feel safe leaving the windows open at night for the cooling I would have liked. I only booked one night so I probably didn't get the prime room. I recommend it just for the location, for a short stay.

I like that it has a free parking. Room is clean & spacious. Bathroom is ok.

Nice man very clean huge room.

Pros: Walkable to beach and park. Free parking. Good price. Huge room. Comfy mattress and sheets. Conditioner provided in shower. Refrigerator and microwave. Cons: Biggest problem was the noise level. Older building with single paned windows located next to trolly line and above pub. Lots of traffic noise (and talkative drunks on F & Sa). Needed more furniture in huge room (sitting chairs or table would be nice, wall mirror so we don’t fight over tiny mirror in bathroom, luggage racks, and hangars are all needed). No central heat or cooling (though was not a problem for us). Pillows were unusually overstuffed. Bring: earplugs, eye mask, & your own pillow.

Pros: price, onsite parking, quick check in, huge room, mattress comfort, fast hot water, close to beach. Cons: quite noisy all day long - trolley car, vehicle traffic, and talkative bar patrons make it hard to sleep. No heat or air conditioning (not needed on this trip fortunately). The room needs a seating area, more chairs, a mirror, luggage racks, and hangars for closet. (insulated windows for noise and temperature control would also be nice)

It did the job, but the room felt very old. Leaky fixtures in the bathroom. Awkward furniture. No lamps, just harsh overhead lights. Significant noise from the muni and nearby bar.

For the price, it is not bad at all. The room was massive and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was fine. Hot water and good water pressure. Lots of free parking for guests. Only downside was the cable car was very loud and ran all day and night, so if you’re sensitive to sound probably not the place for you. Also the room we stayed in, the window had no screen so it do is just open and be a safety hazard.

Appallingly bad. I arrived with 2 of my work colleagues, one of whom has mobility issues. No elevator, and our rooms were on the third floor. I asked if there was a room on a lower floor and was told no. We went to dinner and returned to find the bed in my room was covered in ants. Gross. I went back downstairs to the front desk and asked to be moved and they moved me to another room... on the second floor. The building rattled whenever the muni passed, and around 2:15 in the morning, a couple in an adjacent room started arguing loudly, which continued until 4:45 in the morning. The walls were thin and it was impossible to sleep. The front desk was unwilling to ask them to keep it down. All 3 of our rooms were freezing with iffy heaters (the one in my second room was visibly broken), and one of my colleagues reported that the TV came on randomly 3 times in the night, waking him up. Aside from being in a good location, there is nothing positive to report about our stay. Would not recommend.

Great area near the beach and Golden Gate Park. The front desk was very friendly and came to our room to help explain how to use the TV with two remotes. The bed was comfortable. The hotel is old.

I never stayed here. I booked a night and was called by the front office telling me my room was directly above a bar. Since I have a young baby, that was unacceptable and was told they’d cancel my room. It was never cancelled and I was charged anyway! DONT TRUST THIS PLACE!

Nice Staff

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.

Owner of the motel is very nice and accommodating. Was originally given a room on the 3rd floor but floor was way too uneven and seemed unsafe, so I requested to be on the 1st fl or 2nd fl instead. Was given a room on the 2nd fl that was a lot better than the room on the 3rd fl. There is no AC unit, but that was not needed because you can feel the ocean breeze even with the windows closed. Only downside I would say are the windows where I don’t suggest keeping it open in the middle of the night unless you have full trust in your neighbors because anyone can easily go in and out of your room through the windows since they are all wide opened windows. The tv was great since it’s a smart tv. Bathroom is retro and chic I like the tub color. Overall, pretty decent stay. Only a few mins walk to the Ocean beach. I recommend this motel if you’re looking for an affordable and decent play to stay.

Extremely nosy busy body staff who have nothing better to do than stick their nose where it doesn't belong

Super nice office staff, a comfortable bed, the right amount of quirky/funky to be cool and proximity to transit, the beach, Golden Gate Park, onsite parking that was free - we liked this place! There is a pub below the room we stayed in so we could hear patrons, but not so loud it kept us awake. Except for that, the neighborhood was really quiet at night. You can feel the street cars rumble by but they stop running early. The worst thing was the bright white room lights. Warmer temp lights would really make a difference to me. Good cafes and markets nearby. Stayed two days and enjoyed it.

i had seen another review about the noise and yeah this time i heard it alot more the little bar under the hotel gets cracking lol but still not a problem played some white noise on the tv and slept pretty great. room is super clean, parking this time was a bit of a issue but the front desk took care of it. 10/10 will continue to stay here.

The staff are very nice and kind

This was a great value and only the blocks away from ocean beach. Only downside is there is a bar (Pitt’s Pub) underneath some of the rooms and the patrons were loud the two nights I was there on a Wednesday and Thursday. The bar goers were a bit loud off and on from midnight to closing. The street car light rail that goes by is also a bit loud. Despite the loudness I would stay here again because it’s a great value.

Well lite off street parking. Small room, comfortable bed, nice bathroom. Great location for visiting Golden Gate Park and the ocean. Public transportation within one block, many restaurants to pick from within walkable distance and coffee shop one the corner.

It was just what I was looking for. Right near the beach.

This was a delightful find for me as one who loves to explore the city, mostly needs just a place to sleep and seeks modest room rates. The place has a work-in-progress feel, especially from the outside, but offers so much. In specific the room was clean and spacious and everything worked. The folks there had a very helpful website that acquaints you with dining and other neighborhood offerings, of which there are many. I wanted to explore GG Park and the beach and they were right there. In addition the muni train is right in front and will take you right down to the Embarcadero for a couple dollars. The one bit I highly advise is bringing a sleep noise machine because the trolley bells are right in front and there's a pub nearby.

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

I like that it was close to UCSF, but it is a noisy area. Free parking is a plus, but it is first come basis. There is available parking on street as well.

Place is a fleabag motel. Good points: train goes right by many areas good for food and drink and all the way to the stadium. Right next to the beach, and GG Park. Good value.

Convenient location to beach, restaurants, bars & public transit. About a perfect as a beach motel can be, just make sure your expectations are right!

Good place to stay. Right by the train to downtown and the stadium.
