This is our second time staying here. We absolutely love the proximity to the beach and the convenience of being able to walk to restaurants, bars, shops, etc. The staff is friendly and we will definitely plan another trip in the future!

Beachy hotel

The Ocean Beach Hotel was all about location. Its location across from the beach is why you stay there. My room was on the interior of the courtyard, so the window faced the courtyard, which meant that the shade was always closed. The room was a bit cozy, but I didn't spend much time there. I'd try to get a room with an outward facing window next time.

Clean enough and great staff. Really— good people run this place. Free parking. Convenient and walkable. BUT this is an extremely LOUD area. Also, the bathroom light is connected to a fan that is very loud. Excessively barking dogs in at least one room on both occasions where we stayed here. Yelling guests. Not a peaceful place to sleep. It’s a good place to pass out if you’ve been out late and don’t want to drive.

Views were great, location is very good. Unfortunately the bathroom was very cramped. I had to lean forward on the sink to sit on the toilet and I couldn’t stand completely in front of the toilet either. Rooms were clean, but

Amazing staff, nice location and beds that are well-above our expectations for comfort! Wife had "the best sleep of her life". Overall, a great stay. Room was smaller than expected, but that didn't take away from the experience.

Property was really nice, clean, excellent use of space in the rooms. The beach was RIGHT THERE and the selection of restaurants just by walking up the street was great.
View of the courtyard looking towards the beach.
The view from the hotel deck.
Sad tho the pier is closed for future renovations.

Choose your room carefully

We had an accessible room so it was large, with a large bathroom. Our room was good, but my son’s was a dark closet in the corner. Horrible room. Be careful of what room you book. Location is great!
