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 liked the ability to cook my own meals, no pressure to inter mingle, the advice from the front desk staff, and recommendations for transit and places to explore.

Located within 24 km of Torrey Pines State Reserve and 33 km of San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Coastal Hideaway provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Carlsbad. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and private check-in and check-out for guests. It's simply wonderful, as the title says 'coastal hideaway' is accurate. After a long haul flight from Australia, feeling tired and arriving earlier than anticipated, I was warmly welcomed. This really is a great place to relax, and the community surrounds everything you need. Thank you so much for welcoming me to Carlsbad.
