Ocean House Hotel at Bass Rocks

10/10 Excellent
"The location of this hotel was incredible. Overlooking the ocean, with a large balcony, and a lovely walkway along the ocean. The room was large and clean and comfortable with a couch and seating area. The bathroom was small but adequate. We walked to the hotel next door for a nice breakfast. The pool area was inviting but too cool to enjoy when we went. We'd definitely go back."
