Location, location, location! Just across the street from Ocean Beach. Free parking!!! Lots of great restaurants in walking distance. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable bed and shower. Relatively quiet for being in the thick of this beachfront town. Easy driving access to many of the must sees in San Diego. Have already recommended to family and friends

During our stay they we had to make several trips to the office for those little extras, and they were always gracious and had plenty. The view was amazing sitting in the middle of hotel and the location with free parking made it ideal. We walked to beach and all the local restaurants which were fantastic. Felt like home. The beds and pillows were super comfy. Will recommend!

The Ocean Beach Hotel was all about location. Its location across from the beach is why you stay there. My room was on the interior of the courtyard, so the window faced the courtyard, which meant that the shade was always closed. The room was a bit cozy, but I didn't spend much time there. I'd try to get a room with an outward facing window next time.

I love how close to the beach, the shops and restaurants are to the hotel. The service was amazing. I will make sure to reserve a bottom floor when I visit next time. Climbing stairs to the 3rd floor wasnt fun but I had help so it made it bearable. No elevator. It was fun seeing everyones dogs. Its dog friendly. I will definitely stay again. Thank the staff for being amazingly.

Hotel has a great location right across from Ocean Beach. This beach is a local hangout with an interesting crowd…not ideal for young kids. Rooms are very basic and small, but again you’re paying for the beachfront location. Check-in was easy and the staff member was super friendly, offering a lot of recommendations for food (lots of options within walking distance). A different desk person was super rude when we asked for additional towels after 2 days. Said we’d asked for “a lot of towels” but it was literally the first time! Overall, we wouldn’t stay here again with our kids. Probably better suited to couples who prefer the local vibe. I think Mission beach or Pacific beach is a better option for kids.
