The room was big and clean. Couldn't really sleep because the people in the room upstairs seemed to be awake all night. Their footsteps were loud and the next door people were playing their music as well. Not to mention, the cleaning people werw vacuuming at 830am which made it quiet irritating. Personally, I wont stay here again.

Wonderful accommodations! The listing matched the reality very well. I had a great time & would definitely stay there again. My only suggestion is get hooks on the bathroom so there’s somewhere to hang towels.

We love the quaintness of this place and it is walking distance to family. My only complaint is the hot water, it takes forever to get shower water hot and then it goes really cold in the middle of the shower. This is the one thing that would take me elsewhere.

If you are in SF this is your getaway
I don’t usually give reviews, I have stay in Marriott and Hilton all over the world but this was special. It is my birthday weekend and I love Montana. This is a every special place not just clean and neat but as a contractor new. It is small and quiet. The staff was amazing extremely accommodating. I will be back I would recommend it to anyone who is just looking for a great place on the coast. I would also like to say it’s 20min from my home in San Francisco, so if your looking for just a different world close to home it is perfect.It is also five minutes from the Mosby’s distillery one of the most amazing classic restaurant you ever go to. I thank the staff for a great night.

Very clean, strong Wi-Fi. The view is spectacular. Two things I don't like. 1) Noisy: traffic from HW 1 and the property is next to a gas station. 2) Breakfast: not healthy. No fruits, no toasts, everything provided is full of sugar.

We did not get to stay at Ocean View Inn because of a road closure that kept up from getting there. The staff member, KB was outstanding and went way above and beyond to help us. Offered to stay at the facility to check us in, helped us find a different route because of road closed, and find us a safe place to stay in another town. We stopped by Ocean View Inn the next day to say thanks. The property is beautiful and I will definitely make a reservation next time I am in the area. Very sweet place. Awesone customer service (a dying art)

The property is an older building that has been remodeled very nicely. It is in highway 1 so very convenient. Our room, a king with sofa bed, was very spacious. We were in the second floor (stairs, no elevator). Whomever had the room above us was walking around all night long, and because it's an older, wood framed building, we heard them clomping around. But we slept well otherwise, and the bed was comfortable. Shower was roomy but hot water came and went. Breakfast was pretty basic, cold cereal and coffee, so we went out instead. Overall, a nice experience.

We were disappointed in the breakfast options, and as guests arrived later in the allotted breakfast time, even those few options were not replenished. For instance, there was no milk for the cold cereal, so a canned chocolate drink (not chocolate milk) was offered as a substitute.

This is a very nice quiet and small inn. The bed was VERY comfortable. We loved having a nice large balcony with a view. It is a shared balcony but we never saw anyone using it. The room was pretty large and very clean. The only negative which isn’t a big deal is the bathroom sink, it is a bowl type sink and it is too tall, it made it awkward to use. I would definitely stay again.

Everything is great about this place. The woman at the front desk is extremely kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. The rooms are beautiful. Remember that not all of the rooms have an ocean view even though that is the name. As long as you reserve that kind of room if that is important, then all will be OK. The breakfast is also very nice.

Thank you for your feedback. I spoke with staff and relayed your review about the front desk not being staffed “most of the time”. Every morning the front desk receptionist is nearby cleaning and prepping for the afternoon check-ins after breakfast. The evening front desk receptionist takes one break. There is always someone in close proximity to the front desk.

Room 6 was perfect! Dina at the front desk was friendly and helpful. We loved the view from our room and the deck. There is a gas station next door but you are on the second floor so it was not a bother. The view is sideways - rather than full on since there are trees across the street. This hotel is close to everything - many beaches, hiking trails, and SFO.
