The shower was extremely hard to turn on we had to call the staff to help us. They came right away and offered to change our room. The room served our purpose for overnight as we were driving home from a family event. We wouldn’t stay for more than one night.

A comfortable stay

I spent one night at the Ocean Pacific Lodge and found it to be very friendly and comfortable. It feels like a budget hotel with some nice amenities, like a coffee maker and a microwave and a refrigerator. The person at the front desk was lovely. The bed was adequate, the pillows were a little hard, the towels were soft and clean, the toiletries provided were very nice. I thought the price was excellent for what I got, and I would definitely stay here again.
