"We did have a light failure in the middle of night. Maintenance was called and they resolved the problem. The front desk also adjusted the bill to compensate for our difficulties."

Ocean Beach Hotel

Ocean Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property is adjacent to the beach, which is always a plus. Sebastian's one man drum band across the street was a nice touch. A secure courtyard allowed us to met our "neighbors". Management has a couple of friendly cats, another plus as a fellow cat person. One recommendation I have for the owners is to provide a coffee maker is each room. I need hot water in the morning, and a coffee maker (or microwave oven) would be perfect. Restaurants, bars, and live music venues within walking distance makes this hotel a great location. Too bad about being at the departure end of SD airport, but fortunately it's quiet at night. I look forward to another visit."
