Great location. The room I had was in the back corner, which was great because it was quiet. The bathroom was really small, but the shower was amazing. For the price, you can't beat it. It was my 2nd time staying and I'll definitely be back again! Nice proximity to the wharf and boardwalk!

Any room that has carpet has mold in the room. I had one of worst asthma attacks in my life. The carpet felt damp when barefoot. Toilet paper in bathroom felt damp from moisture in room. There is moisture that accumulates on window to which reflects a deeper problem. My husband is a building inspector and he wanted to red tag the hotel for unsafe and unhealthy conditions. Did not stay. Staff tried to accommodate our needs but every room we tried was impacted. Staff was kind enough to refund our money.

Comfortable and clean

The Ocean Pacific Lodge was great. The check-in was super quick. The staff was friendly and the room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The room had a fridge and microwave. The hotel is in a great location about 3 blocks from the pier/boardwalk and maybe 1/2 mile from downtown. I will stay here again.
