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!

With the exception that the hotel is beachfront, other than the location everything in this property is a disappointment. The bathroom is ridiculously small, if you have to use the toilet it has to be in an angle to be able to do your business. The crowd in OB ( ocean beach) is a bit hippy, so be careful if you have a litttle one walking around neighborhood. The smell of marijuana is almost every block around the hotel. You’re pretty much paying for the location not the hotel nor the facility at the hotel… so if you have family and a little one I suggest OB is not the place for you. Learned it the hard way.

My Wife and I took off to Ocean Beach for a night to meet up with my son and his girlfriend. Quant little surf town ,nice vibe. The hotel set us up with a oceanfront and nice little patio to watch the ocean waves and the surfers. The staff was excellent and friendly. Dont expect the Hilton but if you like laid back and a little rustic . This is the place
