we thought this was the perfect beach hotel. The location is amazing. The hotel is right outside the beach. We could see people surfing right from our balcony. The staff was so friendly and really made the extra effort to make us feel welcome uncomfortable. We could tell the rooms had been recently updated with some nice touches. We felt the price was excellent for the proximity to ocean and all the OB action.

It's the perfect location right on Ocean beach. The view from our room couldn't have been better. We booked the "Suite King", but on the property it's referred to as the Pirate King room. The room is a decent size, but the bathroom is super tiny with a pedestal sink, so it's difficult to do your hair or makeup. The bed was REALLY soft, too soft for my preference, and there is no closet, just a tiny armoire. The room itself could use a little updating, but it was great to be able to walk to anything we needed (restaurants, bars, shops, etc.) Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

The location is great, literally across the street from the beach. Our room was small, but in good shape; however, it was located at the junction of stairs going up and down, so we felt really exposed. And it was noisy! It sounded like the people upstairs were herding cattle.

I love this small hotel right on the beach! This is the second time I have stayed there. I love the views from the outside courtyard where I can sit and have coffee. It can get a little noisy in the area at night due to the bars and restaurants close by.

Disappointing Stay Due to Non-adjustable AC I recently stayed at Ocean Beach hotel and felt compelled to share my experience, particularly regarding the air conditioning. Upon arrival, the hotel appeared welcoming, with a clean lobby and friendly staff. Check-in was smooth, and I was optimistic about my stay. However, my excitement quickly faded as I entered the room, it was uncomfortably warm. I attempted to adjust the thermostat multiple times, but to no avail. I called the front desk to report the issue, and while they were polite and eager to assist, they informed me that all they can do for me is give me A fan. The lack of functional AC significantly impacted my comfort. I found it difficult to sleep, and even during the day, I was unable to relax in my room. The heat made it challenging to enjoy the amenities the hotel offered. While the staff was courteous and the hotel had potential, the failure of the air conditioning system overshadowed my entire experience. I hope the management addresses this issue promptly to improve future guests' stays.

Gorgeous view

It was a gorgeous view and clean space. The beds are very comfortable. The staff are amazing. I highly recommend this place. The only drawback was not having an elevator if you have larger bags. We were on the 3rd floor so it was cumbersome. Otherwise it was a great area. Thank you!
