Hotels near James' Place, San Diego

I had not such a real relaxing time.I had been put in a hall way where the noise of anything in this area that was or happen the go through was very loud and noises from all around me were heard, upstairs the people possibly on back of room people from side of me and even laundry.I had been woken up with real loud steeping and jumping from the second floor.Ive never experienced being caught in this from hotels I stay and it will be my last.I don't recommend you let the front people put you somewhere strange in the hotel ask for second floor.By the way I really stay on higher floors then second I don't know why I was fogged about the front desk person convincing me that the room was special.Oh I know because she said she upgraded me to a room with two beds,which I think I had already requested anyway I'll think twice about this place.But if I'm in dire straight I'll neen the second floor please.

We came to San Diego to visit some friends we haven’t seen in awhile. We chose the Ocean Beach Hotel because of the location. It is close to the pier and walking distance to so many things. Overall, it was a nice hotel. There is free self-parking and the hotel is well-maintained. Eduardo was so friendly and helpful, suggesting places to visit and eat. The room was neat and the balcony had a nice view of the ocean. We were happy that it had a refrigerator to hold our drinks and fruits. The only major negative was it was a little noisy and the neighboring area felt a bit sketchy, but I’d come back again for sure.

It was very clean, unfortunately restaurant was closed during the Covid 19 time. But overall nice pool, cool place, pretty helpful staff. I would definitely stay there again.

🗺️Location: There is an office area around, but there is a small mall opposite, which is very convenient for shopping and eating. The only inconvenience is that the hotel door is on a one-way street, and it is a bit troublesome to go back to the hotel on the other side. 🌳Environment: The floor is very high, there is a large swimming pool on the garden floor, and there are sofas and bamboo chairs outside the lobby on the first floor, which looks very comfortable. 🏨Facilities: After all, American hotels are old, so the facilities are not very new, but passable. There is a bar in the lobby, a convenience store, and a business lounge for members. There is no alcohol, only drinks and fruits. 🏠 Room: spacious and bright, with good hygiene. The bedding is very comfortable, and the curtains have good shading effect to ensure the quality of sleep. The bathroom is very new, except that there are no disposable items, (you can ask the front desk for lotion, combs, etc.) everything else is very good. All in all, highly recommended! Very friendly hotel. Because I didn't get a free room upgrade, my parking fee was waived, thank you very much!

Viste le recensioni super negative scritte nelle settimane precedenti al mio arrivo, appena entrata nell’Hotel - forse meglio dire Motel - ho chiesto di vedere la camera prima di effettuare il check in (dopo averlo effettuato infatti ho letto non fosse più possibile non pagare la stanza prenotata in precedenza - tramite Booking nel mio caso). Il ragazzo alla reception, gentile, mi ha detto subito di sì ed ha smanettato al pc per 5 minuti buoni: a mio avviso mi è stata assegnata una camera diversa da quella iniziale. La camera è molto piccola, 2 valigie grandi + 2 trolley e lo spazio rimasto era poco. La foto sul sito è reale, la stanza è quella ma ovviamente pulita ed accessoriata, con uso di grand’ angolo. Vista la camera, era tendenzialmente pulita quindi abbiamo deciso di rimanere. Una volta sistemati abbiamo notato delle macchie sulle tende e sulle lenzuola. Io ho usato il sacco lenzuolo che mi porto sempre quando viaggio, mi sentivo più tranquilla. La tele non andava ed il ragazzo alla reception ha cortesemente sistemato il cavo e le impostazioni. Insonorizzazione inesistente sia per l’esterno che per le stanze adiacenti. Ci hanno fornito al check in la password del Wi-Fi. In camera abbiamo trovato un frigo (molto rumoroso subito staccato), un micronde ed una macchinetta del caffè, tutti non utilizzati da noi. Il bagno era fornito di asciugamani e mini kit per la doccia - bagnoschiuma, shampoo e anche balsamo. Non c’era però il phon. Il letto molto rumoroso, ad ogni movimento le molle del letto cigolavano. La struttura si trova vicino all’aeroporto e dista circa 15 minuti dal centro in macchina, per i più avventurosi si può andare in città anche a piedi. La vista è mozzafiato. Vicino ci sono Starbucks, McDonald’s e Dunkin Donuts, quindi anche se non c’è colazione ce la si cava. Il parcheggio è gratuito ma non custodito. In conclusione, per il prezzo - 50$ a testa a notte - per la città di San Diego, la posizione ed il parcheggio gratuito, se non si è molto schizzinosi, questo albergo va benissimo! Certo, non aspettatevi un’esperienza rilassante e silenziosa!

A pretty large resort, but with personal attention by the staff. Ground were well appointed. The rooms were very well appointed, beds comfortable, people serving us were pleasant. Would never hesitate to recommend the place. Can't wait to go back. My only complaints as follows - the one bartender at the Tequila Bar definitely wasn't into serving people with a smile. I asked him what beer he had available and he said ”some domestics and some imports”, turned and walked away. That was a turnoff. The other people who served us over the 3 nights were all fine, but not him. Also, we were on the 15th floor, yet surprisingly we could hear conversations down in the pool area, and especially the music playing. I found that as being a little odd. That is the only reason for dropping it down from 5 stars.

It's very convenient to go to the airport, about 10 minutes' drive. The hotel has a free shuttle bus to the airport every half an hour. Although the hotel facilities are a bit old, they are still relatively convenient and hygienic.

The rooms were very nice. Small balcony for each of the second and third floor rooms. Has a nice little café and bar, but the bar has a very limited drink menu. I only ate breakfast at the café, but I did try all of the breakfast menu items. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Admittedly, we selected this hotel because it was the best price in the area and was very close to Petco Park. Since we were in San Diego to attend a game, it was an easy decision. Our room was fine but fairly small. The bathroom was quite large and very nice. (I would have settled for a slightly smaller bathroom with larger room.) Our friends' room was even smaller. The rooftop bar had a great view and was very nicely set up. The one big negative I had....It was advertised online and in the elevator that the Bistro offered drinks and food throughout the day. The reality was that, due to limited staffing, it was closed. Complimentary coffee was available there....if you were lucky enough to find it. We were later told to just wave down the front desk person to get more coffee. I understand that, due to Covid, places are short staffed. I let them know that they need to change their web site since we were expecting to find a place within the hotel to grab coffee and snacks or a few bites. Otherwise, we were able to walk to so much in the area.

The hotel is large, surrounded by three floors. Breakfast is the best among the different Westers who have stayed for a few days. The equipment in the room is relatively new, and the new air conditioner is basically no noise. Much better than yesterday's Los Angeles. There is a small swimming pool, but it didn't go down in the cold.
