Ocean Beach Hotel

This is a motel at best and it is across the street from the beach. So, the description isn’t honest and the pictures are deceiving. Our experience wasn’t the best from the get go. We arrived late in the evening after a 4 hrs drive on a Friday to a closed front desk with no information and no one to answer our calls. 30 minutes later someone came and there were two other people checking in so more wait. I asked the person if this was common for the front desk to be closed and they said that they usually take 30 minutes for lunch!! It was 8:30 pm. The whole property is very old but clearly there were efforts to maintain it. Overall cleanliness was good except for some rubbish left in one of the drawers. There was no elevator and can’t see this clearly noted anywhere in the property description. We booked a room and asked for a baby crib but they gave us a room on the third floor. I explained that this can’t be an option as we have a baby stroller and baby stuff that need to be carried up and down every time we go out and in. The front desk individual gave us a room on the 1sr floor by one of the building entrances with a window that opened literally where the entrance door opens. The bed was 2 feet at best from the window. So, I leave it to you to imagine the levels of noise and privacy. And there was no crib. Parking was free which was a good thing! I would say the best thing about the property was the location.

Check in was super easy. The guy checking us in helped us get a room with ocean view. Room was perfect. Clean, two queen beds, nice balcony, coffee maker, waters, refrigerator, air conditioning and cute small fireplace. There are lots of outside areas within the hotel to eat outside or sit and look at the incredible views. We stayed 8 nights and didn’t want to leave. This will be our go-to hotel every time we go to OB to visit our son. Thanks to everyone at the hotel for making our stay wonderful.

We could hear every single footstep on the stairwell and the conversations were so loud and easy to hear that it felt as if people were in our room with us. The room was cute. The area has a lot of homelessness.

Hotel could not be beat on location. Right on the beach as well as the main drag in OB. Walkable to a multitude of restaurants, bars and shops. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Room and other areas nice and clean. Building, decor and rooms could use an update. Overall recommend for exactly what it is.

Nice and quiet hotel with a nice courtyard and fantastic views from the common grounds balcony's.

Beautiful hotel friendly staff. Located near everything! Highly recommend. I will be back soon!

What a little gem!! Amazing location to pier and beach with lots of food and drink options and proximity to so many sights to see! We watched sunset from the deck!

Very friendly and accommodating staff, including front desk, housekeeping, and grounds keepers. Pretty courtyard and we enjoyed a view of the ocean and bustling street. Overall, a pleasing deal for the price.
