Ocean Beach Hotel

Ocean Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"We had a very nice room with great view of the ocean. The beds were comfortable, Bathroom clean (but small) the room was spacious. Had a small balcony. The hotel is located by many shops, restaurants, bars, and the beach. This being said it is a bit noisy until about 11pm. The hotel is quaint, not modern, but some upgrades mixed with old time beach hotel. We enjoyed our stay"
