Ocean Beach Hotel

The hot water was not working when I tried to take a shower. The shower design was nice, but sink was in the way of the toilet.

The location can’t be beat, right across the street from the beach and right at the end of Newport, so close to so many good things! However, the walls are incredibly thin, we could hear everything happening outside our room. Ear plugs were a MUST in order to get some sleep. They didn’t help with the rambunctious group of people that came rolling in raucously around 2:30am on a Sunday night but the hotel can’t help that. The tv screen in our room was cracked and hard to watch anything on, but again, maybe when I told them about it, it was the first they had heard of it so I’ll give them that too. It wasn’t a big deal. The dog friendly aspect of this hotel is why we booked it in the first place, but the room that was designated as dog friendly was tiny and dim and not worth the price I paid compared to a non-dog friendly designated room I also saw on the site. Our room also felt super humid compared to being outside and even though we tried the AC, then the heat when we got cold, it always felt a little stuffy. The staff were super friendly and I had no issues with them. Like I said, the location (and included parking) Was the only thing this place had going for it. And honestly even then, we were right next to the beach parking lot where many many people have decided to park the cars they live in and they haunt the boardwalk there. Felt perfectly safe during the day, but it got a little sketchy at night.

It was a small room, nothing special. Extremely small bathroom. nice view, thought it was facing the beach and not the across parking lot....but it was ok.

The location to the beach is absolutely amazing. The rooms could be made more comfortable. The woman who checked us in was very rude.

I went by the rating of 8....I think that's a mistake if not a fraud. The price I paid was way too much for the poor overall quality. I paid $270 per night for a third floor room, with a balcony, which I thought would be facing the ocean, was looking out to a parking lot with homeless people. The stairs, leading up to the room, had ripped filthy carpet, and located outdoors. The room was small and the bath room was tiny.
