"For the price, this property is sorely lacking. They offer free coffee drinks (and snow cones, but no actual food) from their lobby “cafe” but don’t have a coffee maker in the room which was inconvenient.

"Room was not clean, there were used q tips on the balcony with other miscellaneous trash. There was a used Kleenex put back in the Kleenex box. The shower water was lukewarm at best. The shower head was stripped and slowly fell down as you used it. No decaf coffee available on site."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

Travelocity Verified Review

"The location was perfect! Easy and convenient access and walking to downtown, the beach, wharf and Boardwalk! The pillows were very flat and the mattresses were hard! The amenities in the hotel could be upgraded, along with the furniture. Some of the chairs and desks are old and run down. Overall it was fine for one night, but felt like it could’ve be a little more spruced up for the location and price we paid. Staff was helpful and friendly at check-in and for other questions. There was also construction happening a few rooms over, on an early Monday Memorial Day morning @ 8:00am. That shouldn’t have happened on a holiday weekend with guests still asleep."

"Stayed here for my kids tournament games and decided to stay a few days as a mini vacay. Kids loved the jacuzzi and pool. I really like how they offered popcorn & s’mores. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Will stay here next time I come visit."
