Better be if you're planning a stay at the OB Hotel... From the noise levels to the musty bathroom, this place brings back fond memories of college. To be fair, though, one has to anticipate that certain type of energy from this place, located steps from the shore in the heart of San Diego's surfer-dude village. My boyfriend and I... more

Our room was on the first floor just as you exit to the beach. We had a dog with us so I believe we had to have a first floor room. The room itself was not horrible, sheets were clean, semi clean floor , but it is sandy everywhere, it was not updated at all. The bathroom however had a... more

I go down to Ocean Beach two times a year at least and always stay at the Ocean Beach Hotel. First off the hotel is in the perfect location, directly across the street from the beach. Also it is pet friendly because of Dog Beach which is also very close. Most if not all of the rooms on the south... more

I thought that the Ocean Beach Hotel was a pretty decent place to stay. Of course, my wife and I didn't spend that much time at the hotel because we were out enjoying the sights and sounds of Ocean Beach. The carpet could have used a deep cleaning, and the room was quite small. If I had it all to... more

We spent our honeymoon at Ocean Beach Hotel. We planned on staying only one night, then ship off to another spot and so forth. After that first night, we decided that the cozy romantic views of the courtyard and the ocean were something we had to enjoy 6 days longer! The staff were very helpful and made sure we were... more

We initially stayed at the OB Hotel in San Diego Labor Day Weekend 2006, our 15th anniversary weekend. We had seen it passing through the previous summer and thought it looked cool. While checking out that year we booked it for the following Labor Day weekend, we had fallen in love! Our stay last year was even better. This older... more

Needs to get coffee machines in the rooms. New carpet would be nice. Great staff. Awesome views and location is fantastic. Great hotel for pets. Dog park close by. However, the homeless and drug peddlers on the boadwalk takes away from this hotel. more

Ocean Beach Hotel was a great launching pad for me, my boyfriend, AND our dogs to enjoy OB. We actually enjoyed being AT the hotel too, thanks to the nice courtyard. We met friends and hung out in the courtyard under the sun more than once! Our room was on the corner at the beach, a fluke but probably the... more

We have stayed there multiple times and when you travel with dogs to the beach you don't expect the Ritz or you don't have fun! we love it here and so does Badgley, our Greyhound who loves to socialize at the hotel and at the beach. Highly recommended for the dog lover in you. more

We were looking for a beachside town and Ocean Beach fit the bill. We stayed at the Ocean Beach Hotel, which looks like it's been around for a long, long time, judging by some old pictures we saw (including pictures of the hotel before a street separated it from the beach). The front desk staff and cleaning staff were very... more
