Good space for big family on quick trip on a budget. Great location! Fun that the location is used on a tv show and we love the Chez Jay restaurant and bar next door. Funky vintage original style motel across from the beach and pier. Super convenient.

This is a nice boutique hotel close to the beach. The room was clean. However the bedroom was isolated from the air conditioning and got hot. You can hear traffic from the nearby street very clearly in the room.

The property managers were amazing. They made me feel at home, and are very welcoming. They even let us leave our bags in office the day we were leaving, because we had a late flight. I would definitely stay here again. The room was cozy and inviting. It was very quiet, and about a 10 min walk to the beach. I am handicapped, and I was able to walk to everything.

Cockroach in room

Noticed a cockroach bedside my bed on checkout day during clean up. The man at the front desk acted as if it wasn’t a big deal. There are about 10 max parking spots available and they are extremely tight.
Wish I would’ve noticed this in the very beginning of stay.

We enjoyed our stay at the Ocean Lodge hotel. It is surprisingly charming for an updated motel building. The location was great and the room was clean and nicely decorated. The one issue we had was the noise level -- I'm guessing because it's an older building, the walls and floors are thin, and we could hear people talking and walking around past midnight. An easy solution would be to provide foam ear plugs in the guest rooms. Other than this, we liked the hotel and would stay again.

Small motel, small rooms but LOCATION near beach and restaurants etc makes the place great for the price. Room was super clean and well stocked, bed comfy, urban area be prepared for common noises. It wasnt too loud. Staff super friendly, water and coffee free. Parking is tight. Pay $38 for space at motel, wait for $17 space next door, pay the meters for 3hrs ata time.

Was given the wrong room, had to buy an additional room to accommodate my party, the shower drain didn’t work, so everyone had to use 1 bathroom. Reported this to the front office and the person argued with me and was very rude. Refunded some money for the broken shower. No apology, empathy, or compassion. So sad BC we’ve stayed here a couple times and like the property. Too bad the staff is so rude!

Close proximity to beach and pier with many places to eat and shop within walking distance. Hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly during our stay. There is parking on site but if you have a full size SUV or truck please be aware that parking spaces are small with not a lot of space to maneuver. We will stay again in the future. Thank you!
