We stayed at Ocean 1 for the location on the boardwalk and oceanfront balcony. The oceanfront room with one bed is very small - there is no separate kitchenette area as shown in most of the photos. It’s a tight squeeze between the foot of the bed and the dresser that serves as the tv stand and also contains the microwave and fridge. The bathroom was spacious, but the water temperature in the shower could not be controlled and it took several minutes to get warm. We recommend the oceanfront room with two beds if you’re staying here - it would be worth it! Overall the hotel was very clean and the staff was attentive and friendly.

Most of the staff was amazing. We had an ocean side view with 2 double beds. The fridge leaked the whole time. There was some wallpaper peeling off the walls. The floors were not cleaned during our stay and I ended up asking the housekeeper to borrow the broom and sweep the room out myself. But honestly for the price of it compared to other places and the location, I feel it was fair and I’d consider staying again. The front desk gal Brittany really is as amazing as all the Google reviews say. She will make you smile!

Stayed for 3 nights with my 13 yr.ild daughter. The property location is great near the boardwalk, close to the beach and other shops. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars: parking is not great. I was under the impression that there was parking on site. Only to be told there is a parking lot about 2blocks away😳. Because we arrived around 6pm we unloaded our luggage then I had to go park the car then come back to officially check in. The younger gentleman at the front desk was not very inviting. He barely greeted us and acted as if he was annoyed to be there! My encounter with the other staff was great! Sorry I didn't get anyone's name. No breakfast here, had a hard time with the iron in my room as the cord would not stay extended, which caused me to sit on the floor to use the iron and ironing board.

Not a fancy hotel but our room was clean and it served its purpose for 3 nights. Also nice balconies could see the ocean from our room.

Room is dated but everything was very clean and comfortable. The staff at check in was very accommodating and thorough when discussing parking options. Parking is a little inconvenient but once you park the car you are steps from the beach, boardwalk and many good restaurants. We did not move the car at all during our visit l. The price was definitely cheaper a lot of the other properties in the area. Overall the stay was good and beach/ boardwalk are always great.

This hotel checked all the boxes, clean, safe, great location and affordable. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were some minor cosmetic issues but overall the room / hotel was better than expected. We lucked out and got one of the few parking spaces at the hotel and they let us check in early. We had a side room but could still see the ocean from our balcony. The walls are thin, we could hear noise from the boardwalk and the room beside us but not so bad that we couldn't sleep, I would recommend ear plugs or a noise machine if you're a light sleeper. I recommend this place and plan to stay here again.

The balcony is on top of your neighbors no privacy and railing is all moldy. Fridge didn’t work when we arrived but they did replace it with another. The 2nd shift front desk guy was rude as heck. He parked in the lane that you had to drive in and back out of and there was plenty of parking. If an occupant had done that they would have been towed.
He never said “hi” when you walked by. The day girl was great.
The wallpaper was coming off the walls in our room.
I would choose another place next time

Upon arriving, the room smelled badly like cigarette smoke but it went away after a day or two. The room could have been a little cleaner but that's most hotels, especially here.
The staff were all absolutely wonderful, including the house keeping ladies!
Our room had a Jacuzzi in it, but it's so loud that we literally just didn't use it, its uncomfortably loud. Balcony looked like it would be private also based on the picture they have posted with our room, but it was fully open and shared, lots of weed smells lol

& for some reason, every single night between 10pm-2am there was something big being slid around in the employee only room next to ours, we were on the 5th floor and the one side is just employees only areas, but it was quite annoying.

The Ocean 1 is a no frills, older hotel in a great location. It's right on the beach and gives you a great view of the sunrise. The heater didn't work (it was still chilly out) but the staff quicky got us a space heater that worked fine. The toilet seat cover was broken and the toilet roll holder was also, but wasn't a big deal. For the price and location, it worked for us. It was clean and the room was nice. I would stay there again.

I've been thinking about this a lot, because although we had a good deal on the rates, considering we're in the shoulder season, they should be decent.... There was ONE big issue. No WI-FI for the whole 3 days, and we got a couple of responses but none were really valid. No one offered to provide some sort of refund, and we had to pay for some sort of hot spot so my husband could complete a work thing.

The location is perfect for beach and boardwalk, although loud during the day, and even into the night we kept hearing music.

Fairly clean throughout, staff was nice enough, older building and fixtures, nothing fancy. Got the job done, except for Wi-Fi. Parking was fine, but I can see how during the busy season it will fill up fast and then you'll have to park in a further lot. We got lucky with that.

Pros: The hotel itself was fine, with great staff who were friendly and accommodating.

Cons: Parking leaves much to be desired. Spaces are extremely limited, and if you do manage to find one, they’re very tight. My bigger issue, though, was the construction directly in front of the hotel. While I understand this isn’t the hotel’s fault, it significantly impacted the overall experience. During the day, large equipment was constantly in use, and at night, huge generators ran nonstop. The noise was so overwhelming that you couldn’t even hear the ocean. On top of that, the construction obstructed the views—rather than looking out at the water, you were staring at metal structures the entire time. Any construction needs to be disclosed to customers prior to booking any accommodations.

A must stay!

This has been our 3rd summer stay at Ocean 1 and this was also probably our best! In prior years, our room had 2 beds and a small circular table w/ 2 chairs. This year our room had the 2 beds, a cushioned bench, 2 wingback chairs and a large desk w/ rolling chair. We enjoyed having seating options other than just our beds, and overall those items made the room feel much more comfortable than in years past. The hotel staff are all so kind, helpful and just enjoyable to talk to (and this has been consistent throughout the years we have stayed here). The only \"complaint\" I have is the the cleanliness of the bathroom. The drain stopper, which did not sit properly in the drain, had mildew all over it and when we lifted the faucet to turn on the water, we could see where the neck of the faucet had not been cleaned. Dirty bathrooms give me major ick, but everything else was so great that I can't put the rating too low ;) We will be back, for sure!

Great location, terrible management

Let's see... There were no blankets in our room. We had sheets and a duvet. We checked in super late and the TV didn't work. Called the front desk and the worker came up and couldn't get it to work. So he literally just gives up and says \"the best I can do is leave a note for my manager\"-- the manager never followed up with us. I ended up fixing the TV myself. Then we had to ask for blankets the next morning. The balcony doors are not sound proof AT ALL. So unless you are an early riser, like 430-5am do not book, you will not have a good sleep. The garbage trucks come very early morning and the dumpster being picked up sounds like a bomb going off and the reverse beeping goes on for 15 minutes.

The pros of this property are, Front desk staff, specially Brittney and the location.
The cons, no housekeeping at all during your stay, we were unaware we had to request towels, and toliet tissue. Floors seem dirty upon arrival and room reaked of cigarettes. I spoke with front desk all they could do was spray an air freshener, no thanks we kept the door open for air. On the small patio with only 2 chairs(we booked a room suited for 4 people) was an under bed storage container to collect to overflow of water coming from the air conditioner unit. It overflowed and flooded the patio each day of stay. Maintenence came once to deal with it and we emptied it ourselves the remaining days. Zero wifi, had to use hot spots, no cable whatsoever so on the rainy day we again used hotspot for a bit of streaming. Somehow the water had a mildew smell coming right from the faucet. Tub was not cleaned prior, maybe wiped, a few hairs stuck to walls, mildew around the drain stopper, last guests razor cover and hair tie remained on the ledge. Screen door lock was broken, outside access doors did not close properly so they open almost 24 hours a day. Room door itself had to be pulled closed. Room keys worked when they wanted to. Wallpaper peeling off walls, patches in some places of a similar but not same wallpaper. Looked like a recent leak in one corner. No comforters on beds. Just a duvet with no cover and all the snaps hanging off, sheets seemed clean. More to list but I am out characters.
