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

Nice little place right on the beach. Room and bathroom are very small, but clean. Ocean Beach is a young, late-night loving crowd. People were coming and going all day/night and with the walls being very thin, it was easy to hear conversations and doors opening/closing. If you plan to go to bed before 1am on the weekend, I strongly... more

I was very nervous after reading the reviews on this website, however I am VERY glad I choose to go any way. It is very clean, very friendly, and who can forget right next to the beach! The rooms were small, however very clean and served its purpose. The town was very cool, just a classic beach town. I loved... more

This was a fun, nice place to stay in a great location. A little pricey for what you got. Timid travellers might be scared off by the colorful characters on the street below. If you go there, head right over to the fishing pier and have a GREAT fish taco in the little restaurant. The fishing pier is an interesting... more

This hotel or "Motel" has a great location and that is where the great stops. The walls in the rooms are very thin and we could actually over hear conversations from the other rooms on each side of us. Going to sleep and staying asleep was hard for all of us. Our room was on the top floor and we... more

My traveling companion & I recently visited San Diego to spend a few days at the beach. We stayed at the Ocean Beach Hotel which we booked online thru the hotel's website. Ocean Beach is a vibrant, colorful, friendly beach town & the same descriptors could be used for the hotel. Within a couple block radius there are good restaurants... more

First I want to say that the location on ocean beach is terrific. I personally prefer mission beach area now being to them both since I think it is much cleaner and a lot more to do but if you like ocean beach you cannot beat the location. With that being said I was very disappointed with the hotel. For... more

We (Psychiatrist,55 psychologist,63)stayed for 9 days visiting the APA Conference in San Diego. Being from Amsterdam it is difficult to feel at home in a dull City like San Diego. But The Ocean Beach was really fine. The staff was helpful, the rooms were clean and OK, the price was good. The neighbourhood of the OB is nice, wooden houses,... more

First off, I guess I just didn't know how crappy the town of Ocean Beach is. That may have saved me from paying over $200/ night on the OB Hotel. The room was extremely small. So small it didn't/ couldn't have a desk. The bathroom was so small it didn't/ couldn't have a tub. Bed was awful. TV was tiny... more
