Ocean Beach Hotel

Ocean Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"The property is adjacent to the beach, which is always a plus. Sebastian's one man drum band across the street was a nice touch. A secure courtyard allowed us to met our "neighbors". Management has a couple of friendly cats, another plus as a fellow cat person. One recommendation I have for the owners is to provide a coffee maker is each room. I need hot water in the morning, and a coffee maker (or microwave oven) would be perfect. Restaurants, bars, and live music venues within walking distance makes this hotel a great location. Too bad about being at the departure end of SD airport, but fortunately it's quiet at night. I look forward to another visit."
