Clean rooms, vintage vibe. Comfortable bed with the right amount of pillows. The pool was one of the best parts of my mid week super mini vacation. Relaxing in the hot sun or dipping in the cool water, both available.

Lived in the Bay Area all of my life and had never stayed at the Dream Inn before. Check-inn was a breeze, felt very COVID safe. Good(strong) cocktails, food was really tasty. Beautiful ocean views. The beach there is open until midnight, so be prepared to hear music on the balcony. Rooms are super cute and very clean. Loved the patio on the pool deck, just wished they had more fire pits for the winter. All and all an amazing stay! If you need a little break from the crazy . Have a stay at the Dream Inn!

We decided to take a last minute getaway and ended up at the Dream Inn. The hotel is very clean and followed the health safety guidelines. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. I believe they all face the ocean so that was awesome too. Definitely a great place to stay.
