Ocean Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was small, but clean. The housekeeping staff were excellent! The view was beautiful. The beach is right across the street. The city maintains the beach well. Ocean beach is a party area for jobless and jobless musicians who like to play loud and into the night. Did stop before 10 30 pm. The homeless were few, calm and non combative. They DO NOT sleep on the beach, boardwalk or sidewalks. So we did not have to walk over passed out people nor human excrement ...which was a good thing. When we were in Montreal, we had to do just that. Food is within walking distance and pretty tasty and reasonable 😋 Probably won't stay again, but never felt in danger. But if you're not picky and want to be close to the beach...this is the place for you. We are in our 70s. 3 other older couples there and they were happy...from out of state. Oh, 3 stories and no elevator, a bit tough on these old knees."

"What we loved about this property was the location right on the beach away from the dense crowds. The view was just beautiful. unfortunately we came during a very hot weekend and the beach house, like many in San Diego, did not have any air-conditioning so it was a bit hot. Our other issue was that the grill did not heat up. The owner relayed to us he fixed it after we left."

"So nice to have three bedrooms and three bathrooms, each with its own shower. We had a great stay here. Good restaurants and coffee/tea house just a block away. People living in the adjacent public park, in cars in parking lot nextdoor, and in tents on the beach, but we never had any interaction with them. Pier is nearby but was closed with a locked gate. I’d stay again."
