    It is a dated (but maintained) property…1.Outlets are VERY scarce. If you have the space, i recommend bringing a power strip or charger. 2. Rooms have paper thin walls. I HIGHLY recommend an upstairs room if you’re a light sleeper. 3. There is AC- however it doesn’t reach the “back” room in the 2 bedroom suite. So you’ll want to adjust the fan accordingly if you prefer to not sleep “hot” 4. Bring cozy clothes or blankets for the evenings on the patio. It’s lovely to sit out there but does get chilly and there weren’t patio heaters or fire pits while we were there. Overall, we would stay again but just adjust a few things on our trip. Please know: The staff was so helpful and even found us an extra fan to increase the air flow and drown out the noise from upstairs.

    Nice location, beautiful views for you to enjoy. Many features advertised are not available. No swim up bars, rooms not as shown. We were a late arrival so we definitely got the last available room. I asked about this and was told that the photos are "arranged " and rooms aren't like that. They were sold out due to a special event. Parking is awful. We had a mobility scooter, using a big SUV. Very limited parking most of the time due to people coming to the area to watch the sunset.

    We had a roach in our bathroom on the first night. But the rest of the property was very clean and we never saw another bug after we killed that one. Location was excellent.

    We were staying here so that we could go to the beach and be right on the ocean. The ad makes it appear that the beach is a 2-minute walk and that there is beach to be on. The ad also stated we would have a partial ocean view but from the room we had no view. When we got there we realized there was no beach on the property of the hotel and we had to walk down the street. The beach that was available then was tiny and not really a beach at all. The property is located in an area that is rundown. I think the price of this hotel is way too much considering the above issues. The room itself was clean and well stocked. The property did allow us to shorten our stay which was appreciated.

    We stayed for two nights in June 2026 to relax after our son's wedding in Baja. It was the perfect place to unwind and relax in San Diego. The views are spectacular, the location is 15 minutes walking distance from many restaurants and bars, and the hotel itself is a treasure.

    What a wonderful place! Staff was amazing. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous! We had such a great time. The surrounding area was very nice with plenty of places to eat and the views of the ocean and sunsets made the trip extra special

    Really cute inn on the Sunset Cliffs. Pretty quiet area but we were on the side by the stop sign sonic you leave your windows open the traffic can be loud at night, we kept hearing motorcycles and airplanes instead of the ocean, which was a bummer, but also not the inns fault, they can’t control traffic on a Friday and Saturday, Sunday was not as bad as the other two nights as far as noise, just ask for a room on the other side if you are hoping to hear the ocean waves. The deck was really nice to sit outside and watch the sea…We enjoyed the pool, it was nice and warm. There was a basketball hoop and that was fun to play with my family. In the morning if you like to run or walk you can leave from the property and turn right and run along the sunset cliffs…we stayed on the sidewalk but nice views of ocean and pretty neighborhoods. It’s also not too far from Pacific Beach, another favorite running spot…We didn’t try t gee restaurants but there are many close by. The room itself was a 2 bedroom suite, it had a little living room and two separate bedrooms, only one bedroom had a TV, one bathroom and I thought it was nice. The couch was comfy and the shower was good. Not a lot of space to put stuff out in the bathroom by there was room in the actual bedroom so that was good. Overall, really nice visit, there is a bit time deck but there is no access to it, I’m guessing because of coastal erosion, still a nice spot to sit and watch the ocean or the sunset…we got to see one.

    Clean rooms and perfect location

    Don't take the ground floor rooms. You can hear every step. We had young children staying above us and the staff tried to have them not to jump on the floors and rolling their luggage back and forth across the floor. But we still were awaken a 5 am with the running and jumping. Not pleased.

    A great stay for me at the Inn at Sunset Cliffs OB. Such a cozy place right on the ocean. I will definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you Sunset Cliffs!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We really enjoyed our stay. The flowers and landscaping in the courtyard are so beautiful. The view of the ocean is great. The view of the sunset from there is next none. Such a friendly staff. You can walk to a nice little coffee shop/cafe. There is also a small convenience store across the street. The beds are very comfortable and a very clean room. Will definitely stay there again!!!
