Facing the beachfront, Samesun Ocean Beach Hotel & Hostel offers 3-star accommodation in San Diego and features a shared lounge and terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides an ATM, and luggage storage for guests. I loved this hostel, it's clean, well structured and equipped. I have been there for two nights (extending one) the beds are comfortable, it's very clean, there is a sink in the bedroom which is handy to brush your teeth or wash your face without going out of the room. The bedroom had a fan to make sure it was not too hot. All the beds had a privacy screen, with a light and some plugs for charging electronics. They offer surf board rentals for really cheap and you can take free towels for the beach, or freesbee or balls to play. The common area is half covered and half outside with a corner for smokers. In the morning they offer breakfast, pancakes/waffles, some fresh fruit, oatmeal, coffee or tea. The area is super nice and they have many shops and restaurants on the same street, and the ocean is 3 minutes walking distance.

Equipped with air conditioning, select rooms and suites at New Haven Inn may include patios with fire pits, double walk-in tiled showers or vaulted ceilings with chandeliers. All of the rooms feature flat-screen cable TVs and a coffee machine. The room was incredible... Nice touches, beautiful design, a comfortable (and huge) bed and you have everything you need in the room. We booked 2 nights there and enjoyed it a lot. The outside was nice too, we sat at night by the fire pit. It was a great experience.
