“What a value!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We took a chance by booking 2 nights at this hotel. We had never been to pacific beach. Ocean right outside our door. Clean hotel, with very friendly and helpful staff. Short walk to the pier for spectacular sunsets. Safe underground parking. Small extras like newspaper and fresh fruit throughout the day. Firehouse Grill next door was loud, but we just joined in the fun and had a blast.(we are seniors). We returned the next day for a delicious lunch-good prices, too.
We look forward to our next trip to the Ocean Park Inn.

Room Tip: Loved the ocean front room.

“Ocean Fix”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Can't be much closer to the ocean, listening to the waves as you sleep. Price is right, clean rooms with great parking. Only real flaw, new carpeting is needed. When booking request the quiet side or next time we would preferably book the rooms right on the boardwalk, worth the extra money. Great location for a lot less cost.

Patrick was very friendly when we checked in. Went the extra for making our stay as great as possible.

Room Tip: Overlooking the boardwalk or with an ocean view on the quiet side.

We are one of the few properties in San Diego that gives guests the ability to listen to the ocean waves from their rooms! Many guests also report seeing dolphins from their balconies. We’re happy you could enjoy this.

Also, the next time you stay with us every room on the property will have new carpet! This process is currently underway and will conclude by the end of February.

Thank you for the kind words about our staff, your compliments will be passed along. Thanks for staying with us!

“Wonderful stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Our family stayed here for 5 nights in January of 2012. This hotel is right on the waterfront. It includes: a heated pool and hot tub (nice to warm up in after playing in the ocean), a complimentary breakfast (you can eat in, on the patio or take it up to your room), has a laundry room (only 2 washers and two dryers with no folding table or area), has lots of under ground parking (for $10 per day), rooms that are spacious but a little dated, the bathrooms are a good size with both a bath tub and shower (a dry line is in the bath area to hang wet towels or swimsuits), but they're a little tired looking too, the front desk and cleaning staff were very friendly. I can't say enough about the front desk. There wasn't a question they didn't try to answer and they always had a smile on their faces and never once didn't ask how our stay was. We felt completely welcome! My only complaint was that we happened to be here on a night where there was a football game between San Diego and some where ?? and the college kids were a little loud when they came back to the hotel after watching the game at nearby bars. That said, if the room were a little more insulated it would have been a non issue because all 4 of our other nights were quiet. We'll be back to stay here on our trip back to San Diego next winter for sure!

Good to hear you were able to take advantage of so many amenities of ours! We are in the process of renovating, which includes new paint and carpeting, and updating the pool area. Last year we were able to install our new fish tanks, new wicker pool furniture, flat screen televisions, and iPod docks. We have lots of plans for the future as well, so check back with us from time to time to see all the new, exciting improvements!

We take noise complaints very seriously, and advise all guests to immediately contact the front desk of any issues so our security can remedy the problem. We’re sorry to hear there was an issue one night – we consider ourselves a family-oriented hotel and have very little tolerance for loud and/or intoxicated guests.

Thank you again for staying with us, we look forward to seeing you next winter!

Stayed 3 nites in Jan.2012, Booked 3 rooms.Rooms need new carpeting and baseboard trim.The property is clean and the underground parking is great.Seem to be consistant homeless people,but did not seem to be concerning issue for safety.For quiet sleep do not book room near Fire House Bar. Breakfast is good,could change it up every day or so. Front desk is helpful.

You’ll be happy to hear in the month of February, every room on the property is getting new carpet and baseboards! We’re looking into the repetitive breakfast situation – until then check with our staff for plentiful local recommendations! Thanks for staying with us!

Booked 2 rooms, 4 nights, with another couple. Love this place!! Close to everything, super friendly staff. Breakfast is good, but agree a change every other day would be nice. This is 2nd time back, and will definitely be back soon. Breakfast & wifi included, $10 parking. Seems they are always doing maintenance, painting, etc., which shows they care. Sunsets are beautiful as well as the ocean view.

We appreciate the positive feedback! While we look into different ways to switch up the breakfast from time to time, make sure you stop by the front desk and ask for recommendations on the wide variety of restaurants within walking distance that also serve breakfast. We often have menus and even discounts/coupons for the local eateries! Thank you for choosing the Ocean Park Inn!
