“Heaven in OB”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

My idea of heaven is a charming place, no fuss, no frills. This hotel accomplished everything I needed for my weekend in OB.

First and foremost, they accept dogs. You do pay a slightly higher rate (and i do mean slightly) for the doggy rooms. The courtyard is perfect for sipping a coffee in the morning, you are steps from the beach (literally, steps. Cross the street and you are there!), the dog beach is about 3 blocks away. Newport Ave is such a great street to mosey down, shop, eat, drink (!).

Free wifi, free parking, free smiles and welcomes from owners and staff. You won't get 5 star luxury, but if you are like me, where simple kindness and charming surroundings are just what you're after, head to Ocean Beach hotel. It really is heaven in OB.

Room Tip: If you bring your pooches, ask in advance for a room with a patio.

“OB Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

The Ocean Beach Hotel is located in the quaint little town of Ocean beach. Situated directly across the street from the ocean, the beach is at your doorstep and the sunsets are breathtaking. The staff at the hotel are amazingly friendly and they go out of their way to make your stay with them enjoyable. The courtyard is beautiful and the perfect place to sit and enjoy a drink with friends...all the while enjoying the beauty of the ocean. We stayed in the condo for ten days during Christmas a couple years ago and had a fantastic time. I recently moved to San Diego but continue to stay at the OB Hotel on occasion just to enjoy the relaxation that always awaits me. I highly reommend the OB Hotel!

“They went out of there way to make our stay great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

This was our second stay at this hotel. This time we had a ocean view room and had aproblem
with the plumbing. We called the desk and they had some one up to check it out very quick.
They could not fix the problem and moved us to a beter room. We were very happy with
the service and staff. We will be coming back and telling all our friends that this is the only
place to stay. Again many thanks to all. BW

“Great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

The friendly, and helpful staff here makes you feel like you never left home. With the 30 second walk down to the beach and awesome surrounding night life, it makes for a great romantic get away. Can't wait to stay here again!

Room Tip: Pay the extra money for the beach view, your special lady will love it!
