"Breakfast was probably my least favorite. The eggs were cold and of course they didn’t have any flavor and I thought that they had hot oatmeal cereal, but on closer examination, it wasn’t that I think it was potatoes or something. Not appetizing at all. But I grabbed an orange, an apple and some yogurt and a stick of cheese and that was fine. Whatever"

"Me and my family decided to have a last minute beach visit we had no idea we were going to want to stay the night and once we figured we would I called everywhere (it was 7pm) and only this hotel answered there was always someone to help at the desk and it was fast and easy to book and it was a great price and me and my family would definitely recommend my only complaint would be you can hear the trash people early in the morning but everything else was just what we wanted"

"I was so surprised with this hotel. Booked last minute for my family of 6. Did the Family Suite has a beautiful full kitchen we used the gas Weber grill which was very clean swam in the pool at night that was heated. Had a great time. Coffee provided in lobby you can check out games and best part is it’s a 5 minute walk to boardwalk. You walk out and you are across the street from the pier. Perfect location"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good
"Pretty convenient location and a decent price compared with the astronomical price of many other options. Adequate parking and walkable distance to the downtown and plenty of dining options. I would stay again but would make sure my room was not immediately adjacent to the ice machine ( foot traffic of people getting ice) and the pool ( kids birthday parties etc not great if you’re trying to rest). Air conditioning was a bit loud tbh at least in my room - but on the plus side their wasn’t any drama at night or noise and I think they keep a close eye on the place- it’s a motor court arrangement with rooms facing out so could be vulnerable to randoms wandering through but there was no problem."
