Good value. Not great if you're a quiet family looking for just the roll of the ocean. Lots of external noise from planes, slamming doors, people outside, dogs barking, beach bands, and outdoor music venues. Would have loved it at 25. Solid location and friendly, helpful staff. Parking is close quartered but always had a space and no charge. This is prob more of your old school party vibe location. Present homeless population in area but not bothersome. Stale urine smell is default in this part of SD. All that to say, decent stay with no regrets.

What a great property! It is directly in the heart of OB with a beautiful view of the ocean with viewing decks on all 3 levels to sit and watch the sunset. If you are familiar with Ocean Beach, you will know this property is an exact reflection of this town. Natural, simple, easy going and laid back with that beach town vibe. We have stayed here several times and it has everything you need to get by and in walking distance to all your OB and Newport favorites! <3

It was an okay experience. I felt like our room was very small and we were having issues with our TV. Definitely an older hotel. Overall I would give it 2/5 stars. The two gentlemen that worked there on Saturday were very friendly and helpful but other than that we most likely will not be coming back.

Great location, was super noisy from the people out the beach playing drums loud music. Room could have been cleaner hair stuck on the bathroom wall also looked like blood spots on the bathroom floor. Staff was great though but I learned the hard way you don’t want to stay in the rooms that smack in front of the stairs too much coming and going right in front of your hotel door.

Loved that this hotel is right next to the beach! Views from our balcony were beautiful. Not necessarily the hotels fault other than maybe they can do better insulating the walls and doors, but we had one drumset and guitar set up across the street on Newport Ave and a competing drumset and guitar set up on the perpendicular street (Abbott) jamming late into the night so not much. Both felt like they were just right outside our door.
We were there the night before a street festival and the hotel did give us a heads up that if we wanted our car the following day, we should park elsewhere. However they were very vague on where would be okay to park and my husband and I spent an hour or so walking around the area trying to figure out which streets were closed and where we could park. Would have been nice to have a designated area set aside for hotel guests to use to access their cars the next day. Finding a street parking spot was near impossible and we had to walk about 3-4 blocks.

Also the plane flight path goes right over this location so if you’re looking for a quiet getaway this isn’t the place but if you want the beach close it’s the place. Bed was comfy.

On the plus side, the room was clean, parking as promised. Forget the rest. The property is just plain shabby. Cheap appointments in room. Unsuitable and torn carpeting on steps. The interior walls are quite thin. No phone in room. \"Ocean view?\" We faced a huge parking lot that had drummers (yes, sometimes plural) playing from day to late at night and folks camping out. We saw only a triangle of ocean from the narrow balcony. The \"courtyard\" is uninviting, and there are only a few chairs on the third floor that give a view of the ocean.
The photos on the site do not reflect the age and neglect of this property.

If you leave the windows open you can hear the waves from the beach at night. They have a small store that’s convenient and staff is very nice. 12 min about from the airport. I will definitely return when I come back to San Diego. I would recommend.

It was ok. Little old and NO elevator, but the staff did help us with our luggage. I think the main issue for me, personally, was it was right in the hot spot of the public beach area. If that's what you're looking for, you're in luck! But always tons of party people everywhere, noisy, bands, etc., parking can be a tad hard, small parking lot but they do try to keep enough spaces for those staying at the hotel. Quick walk to several restaurants, the beach and shopping spots, so great there. Bring your wall plug ins for charging device! Rooms were very small, but fine and seemed clean so that's a plus for sure.

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at Ocean Beach Hotel. The price was far higher than what the property actually delivers. The room was very basic and lacked the quality and comfort I would expect for the amount charged.

One of the biggest issues was the room's curtains, which barely covered the windows. Combined with the exterior lights flickering throughout the night, the room never got dark enough to sleep comfortably. It made getting a good night's rest nearly impossible.

While the hotel is located directly across from the beach, that was not the benefit I expected. The area around the beach felt unsafe and was heavily populated by homeless individuals. It was not a pleasant environment to walk around, especially for families with children.

Overall, this hotel felt like a complete rip-off for the price. Between the basic accommodations, poor sleep conditions, and the surrounding area, I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone—especially families traveling with kids.

We had a fantastic stay at this Oceanside hotel.

We never had to use our car, which made the trip feel like a real vacation. Relaxing, easy, and enjoyable. We’ll book this hotel again without a second thought.

The view and location were great! If you’re looking for a quiet weekend, this location may not be the best for you as the hotel has night life and music in the streets. We were looking to be within walking distance to the beach and a lot of the restaurants and such so was great for us. Keep in mind that this hotel does NOT have elevators. Hauling all of our luggage up to the third floor was a hassle but the view made it worth it

I think the hotel has a great view and a lot of access to the whole ocean beach area. Everything is very commutable by foot and there’s a lot of good bars and food options just around the hotel. Truthfully it’s not that far from downtown maybe a 20 minute drive depending on traffic. And the staff was very helpful in finding food options and things to do.

Ocean Beach Hotel was a mixture of experiences. I traveled here with my wife and 15yr old daughter. Upon arrival, we found the hotel and location as the perfect setting for a couple of days of relaxation. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. I had no issues with the hotel itself and would highly recommend, just depending on what sort of experience you're looking for.

The area around the hotel was a different story. Ocean Beach is a mix of bars, surfers, and homeless. I didn't feel in danger, but also not the best scene for a family, especially with young children.

We arrived on Wednesday night, which is the \"farmers market\" night. This was cool at first as there was a lot of street vendors with food/goods. But by around 9pm we knew we were in for a long night. There is a drum circle every Wednesday directly across the street, the sound of heavy drums played non-stop until ~12:00pm. This along with the pop-up rave that also played until ~11:30pm, which stopped when the cops arrived to break up a fight. Made for a very loud night, and impossible to get any sleep until they shut down.

Thursday night was a completely different story, The streets were quiet, scenery was beautiful. So, if you're coming for a party, then this location is perfect. If you're coming with your family or for relaxation I would avoid Wednesday nights.
