Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests overwhelmingly praise the hotel's exceptional location near the beach, restaurants, and local attractions, making it a convenient and central spot for visitors. Many also appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the overall cleanliness of the rooms. However, several guests note that the bathrooms and rooms are quite small, and some feel the hotel is overpriced for what is offered. Noise at night and lack of elevators are also mentioned as drawbacks, but the positive beachside atmosphere and pet-friendly policy stand out.

My stay at Ocean Beach hotel was truly delightful. The experience was consistently positive thanks to the wonderful staff and perfect location. Despite the rooms being on the smaller side, they were always impeccably clean and well maintained. The hotel's proximity to a wide variety of dining options and shopping venues made it incredibly convenient — everything I needed was right at my fingertips...

The location was perfect, OB is amazing. While the room was small, you can tell that it had been recently updated and it was very nice. Even better, while staying at the property you could see the staff actively working to improve the hotel. With the bed, it is very soft. So if you are used to a firm mattress be prepared.

Pros (+) I love the view! it was so wonderful to stay by the beach! The beach became too crowded around 12 so we retreated to the hotel. It was so wonderful being so close to the beach but still being able to social distance. The front desk handed out masks and hand sanitizer which was a really nice touch. I'm a nurse and my partner is a doctor and we really respected the way this hotel was handling things...

Pros (+) Literally steps from the beach. Very friendly staff. Beautiful courtyard
Cons (-) Room smelled like a public restroom, room cleanliness was questionable at best. Dustbunnies hanging from the ceiling, splatters on the ceiling and walls in bathroom- definitely did not feel comfortable. Very small/old rooms. Especially considering the price. Location is great proximity to the beach but the area is packed with homeless people. Did not feel safe walking around even during the day ti...

Pros (+) It is a perfect spot near the beach, plenty of shops, dining within walking distance. People are laid back, friendly, welcoming. Beds are comfortable. Staff is amazing!!! Courtyard is beautiful! Well worth the $$$$.
Cons (-) The improvements are a work in process. Can tell that they are gradual which is good as it keeps the prices realistic. Thank you for keeping character and charm! It is a true beach hotel that fits well with the area.

Pros (+) I loved that we were so close to the beach. You could hear the waves crashing in the morning. Staff very friendly. Free parking was always available even during the busy Memorial Day weekend. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely go back.
Cons (-) The floor/ceiling is thin between the first floor and 2nd. The group upstairs were loud and partied late on Friday and Saturday. We didn't inform the front desk so maybe no one else heard. Bathroom was small. I think if there were shelves or hooks even, that would help instead of laying things down on the toilet seat or sink.

Pros (+) The proximity to the dog beach it's a plus. The room was small by the courtyard for one person and two dogs. Comfortable bed, tasteful modern furnishings. Needs a microwave, coffee maker and toaster. Love the patio with the view of the Ocean, but not the homeless and hippies been loud and obnoxious but I guess this is been an on going issue in Ocean Beach. I stayed six nights and the last three ni...

Pros (+) Small, clean rooms. Not much in the way of in-room comfortable seating space. Nice area in the courtyard with seating around tables. Bathrooms are small - be careful you don't hit your head on the sink when you're on the toilet. Still, I'd stay there again. Location, location, location.
