Disappointing Stay Due to Non-adjustable AC I recently stayed at Ocean Beach hotel and felt compelled to share my experience, particularly regarding the air conditioning. Upon arrival, the hotel appeared welcoming, with a clean lobby and friendly staff. Check-in was smooth, and I was optimistic about my stay. However, my excitement quickly faded as I entered the room, it was uncomfortably warm. I attempted to adjust the thermostat multiple times, but to no avail. I called the front desk to report the issue, and while they were polite and eager to assist, they informed me that all they can do for me is give me A fan. The lack of functional AC significantly impacted my comfort. I found it difficult to sleep, and even during the day, I was unable to relax in my room. The heat made it challenging to enjoy the amenities the hotel offered. While the staff was courteous and the hotel had potential, the failure of the air conditioning system overshadowed my entire experience. I hope the management addresses this issue promptly to improve future guests' stays.

Gorgeous view

It was a gorgeous view and clean space. The beds are very comfortable. The staff are amazing. I highly recommend this place. The only drawback was not having an elevator if you have larger bags. We were on the 3rd floor so it was cumbersome. Otherwise it was a great area. Thank you!

4.5 for us

Nicely renovated older hotel. Very clean, friendly, helpful staff. Handy snack shop in lobby open 24/7. Great location for access to beach, lots of shopping and unique small restaurants. Rooms are nicely furnished and attractive. But a bit smaller than newer hotels because it is an older building. Not a very quiet place due to the proximity to the busy retail and beach area and air traffic overhead(not all night, shuts down about 10 or 11) , but interesting with all the activity and variety(though it includes those with difficult living situations). Easy dedicated parking, great common area courtyard with ocean view and lots of seating.

I booked an ocean view room, but it’s actually only a partial ocean view. That should be specified on the website. The balcony does not feel private-it’s separated by a partition from the next balcony. The one next to us had an empty liquor bottle on the table, we didn’t feel comfortable using the balcony at night. Gave 3 stars mainly for location. Rooms were clean, parking is private. Rooms not sound proof. We heard our neighbors talking, laughing from 3.30 am till morning. Very overpriced, will not be coming back.
