Will recommend and come again!

Our room tidy upper was wonderful. After discussing our needs with her, she efficiently obliged all of our needs on our 5 night stay! Being an "on the beach" hotel, we did manage to bring sand into the room! When we returned in the evening, our room was ready to go. Kudos to her and the front desk staff! Jill

I ended up needing to book at 1am and Tracey was amazing! She was so kind and helpful and made me feel welcomed. I have always stayed here because of the great location and views of OB. And now I can truly speak to the outstanding hospitality of the staff too. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay and felt very safe. The staff, housekeepers were very friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect and there’s a lot of walkable restaurants and bars. The room was on the smaller side but it was fine for our 3 night stay. There is no elevator so if you’re on the 3rd floor, be prepared to drag your luggage upstairs. Overall we had a great experience in Ocean Beach (ob) I’m looking forward to returning.

Fell in love with Ocean Beach!!

I don’t usually leave reviews but our hotel stay was just fantastic! So close to the beach and so many restaurants and little shops to check out. We were so happy with the cleanliness of the room and it was just really casual. The parking lot is tight but it all worked out. We will definitely plan a return visit.

Awesome vibes awesome experience great views

Such an awesome experience we went for an overnight trip wanted something close to the beach so we could hang out all day and then just walk to our hotel without the hassle of loading and unloading all of our beach stuff lugging everything around back and fourth on top of having to deal with parking . This hotel offered free parking and the rooms although not all that big were cozy and clean which is the most important for me because all we used the room for was to sleep . The ocean beach strip offered such an awesome night life as sooon as you step foot on the street bars restaurants. The view from the shared balcony is amazing I was concerned since our room had a partial view I wasn’t going to get a great experience but that shared patios made it to where you could sit down and enjoy the view at any time . Waking up hearing the seagulls and the waves is the best at this hotel you will not be disappointed

Beach is less then 20 yards in front of the hotel you just cross the road

False pictures not family friendly

The rooms were dirty and a blunt was left in the room and on the balcony. The bathroom had no fan. There were scratches in the front door. The bed was way too soft. My back was sunk into the mattress and I had terrible sleep. The ocean view doesn’t have a balcony to step out and enjoy the view I paid for. The framing from the walls was tearing off terribly. The room and paint was very old. The pictures were not accurate to the promotion of the hotel at all. The area was not family friendly and felt very unsafe. I moved the tiny table in front of the door when I slept because I felt unsafe. I would not recommend this place to anymore. Bars surrounded the hotel and music was very loud at night time and hard to sleep. You can hear people verbally fighting using foul language. This was a terrible stay.

Literally right across the street from the beach! In a super fun area, although seemed possibly a little sketchy at night for a woman alone, although maybe that was because we were there on a Saturday night. Infrastructure looks a little tired, but the super sweet staff totally made up for that!

Being right across the street from the beach and having their own parking lot were definite pluses. The hotel was close to every attraction and the food within walking distance was delicious. My only complaints were that the floor in the room were a little slick (may be due to the beach atmosphere, not sure) and not having enough towels for a family of four. These were minor and did not take away from our 5 star experience.
