OCEAN PARK INN, San Diego

The hotel sits directly on the Pacific Beach boardwalk, giving you immediate access to the beach, walking path, and surf. Crystal Pier is a 4-minute walk north, and Belmont Park is a 5-minute drive. The seaside village of La Jolla is 12 minutes away by car, and San Diego International Airport is roughly 15 km (16 km) from the property. The location is exceptionally walkable for dining and nightlife - Firehouse, Waterbar, Kono's Cafe, and Starbucks are all within 0.5 km, along with numerous other restaurants and shops. The area is also well-served by Ubers and local buses for trips to Old Town or other parts of San Diego.

Room types include Standard King, Standard Queen, and Double Queen configurations. Each room has a private bathroom with a shower. Some rooms offer partial or full ocean views, and select rooms include a small balcony. The decor is modern and beach-themed. Room features also include a tea and coffee maker, an iron, a safe deposit box, and a sitting area. Flooring is either carpeted or parquet. The property has a lift and rooms are non-smoking. Ground-floor rooms face the boardwalk with limited privacy, while upper-floor rooms (2nd or 3rd floor) offer better views and are generally quieter. Rooms do not have desks or chairs that are convenient for laptop use. Some rooms near the elevator or ice machine can be noisy.

The complimentary breakfast is a hot and cold buffet with items such as scrambled eggs, bacon, turkey sausage, make-your-own waffles, hash browns, baked beans, cereals, yogurts, breads, pastries, juices, and coffee. While the breakfast is included with the room rate, the food is basic and the coffee is pre-ground with only powdered creamer provided. For those seeking a more varied morning meal, numerous cafés and restaurants are within a short walk along the boardwalk. The breakfast room also has a microwave available 24/7 for guest use.

The hotel has a year-round heated outdoor swimming pool and a separate hot tub with strong jets. The pool area includes a fence, sun loungers, umbrellas, and a view of the ocean.
