Big Studio with Ocean View max 6 sleepers Overview

First Impressions

The Big Studio with Ocean View max 6 sleepers sits right on Front Street in downtown San Diego, and honestly, the location alone makes this place worth considering. I mean, you’re literally steps from the waterfront — I could hear the harbor activity from the windows, which actually added to the whole experience rather than being disruptive. This three-star property doesn’t try to be something it’s not, but what it does offer is pretty solid for the price point.

The Space

The studio room is surprisingly spacious for downtown San Diego standards, and they weren’t kidding about fitting six people — though I’d say four adults would be more comfortable. The ocean view is the real star here, especially in the morning when you can watch the harbor come to life with boats heading out for the day. The setup is straightforward but functional, with enough space to spread out without feeling cramped. You know what impressed me most? The windows are actually large enough to make the view feel like part of the room, not just something you peek at.

Location Perks

Being on Front Street puts you right in the thick of things — the Embarcadero is basically your backyard, and you can walk to Seaport Village in about five minutes. I found myself grabbing coffee and just wandering the waterfront most mornings, which honestly became my favorite part of staying here. The trolley stops are close by too, so getting to places like Balboa Park or even across the bay to Coronado is pretty straightforward. Couples seem to really dig this spot (they rate it nearly 9 out of 10), and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having the harbor right there.

Practical Considerations

Look, this isn’t a resort with all the bells and whistles, but it covers the basics well. The apartment-style setup means you’ve got more flexibility than a typical hotel room, which is nice when you’re staying for more than just a night or two. Parking downtown can be a bit of a puzzle, but the area is walkable enough that you might not need your car much once you’re settled in. The building itself feels secure, and I never had any issues with noise from other guests or the street below.

Why Guests Love It

Recent guests have been rating the location at 8.5, and after spending time here, I totally get it. There’s something special about waking up to that ocean view and being able to step outside into one of San Diego’s most vibrant neighborhoods. The value proposition is solid too — you’re getting a prime downtown location with actual water views at a price that won’t completely destroy your travel budget. It’s not fancy, but it’s authentic San Diego living, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want from a trip.

San Diego’s hotels pair spa cabanas, craft margarita tastings, and concierge-led surf lessons at sunrise.
