Would come again just hope next time the airconditioner works
Loved the location & views! Beds were very comfortable. Only things that need improved are the thin walls, everything can be heard outside & the rooms next to & above you. Also very small bathroom.
Surrounded by homeless and drug addicted people. Very noisy and couldn’t leave the property without being approached to purchase drugs or asked for money.
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.
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.
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
