Ocean Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"We had a nice stay at this hotel. Positives: the hotel room was adequately sized, the room and bathroom were very clean, and the bed was comfortable. We appreciated the hotel parking lot, which always had spaces available and for which there was not a separate fee. We also thought the hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We appreciated that our reservation for an ocean view room was honored and that the room had a balcony. The hotel also felt very secure: there are locked doors from the parking lot and from the beach. We loved the location, directly across from the beach and with numerous food establishments within walking distance for meals at all hours. Downsides: the hotel has no sound proofing whatsoever, so we were grateful we brought a sound machine to block the loud music playing from the beach and from nearby bars. We did not use housekeeping services during our stay, so cannot comment on them. The hotel could use a "refresh" especially on outdoor carpeting as it represented a tripping hazard."
