Photos of Ocean Beach Hotel

Overview

With immediate beach access and location in an iconic neighborhood, the Ocean Beach Hotel offers laid back San Diego style in comfort. Literally just steps from the ocean, this 56-room hotel gives guests an incredible opportunity to enjoy fun and relaxation.

The Ocean Beach neighborhood is known for being light and fun and the recently renovated rooms at the hotel reflect its surroundings. Rooms can be found facing the courtyard, but the truly spectacular rooms and suites have panoramic views of the beach. Pet friendly rooms are offered as well, plus the hotel is a short walk away from Dog Beach so furry friends can enjoy the San Diego fun as well.

The hotel offers many amenities, including free parking, though the staff likes to brag that the area is so much fun that most guests never move their car during the stay. Besides direct beach access, guests can also stay connected with complimentary wireless Internet. Great for exploring the neighborhood, the Ocean Beach Hotel also offers bike rentals to its guests.

Although the hotel has no restaurant on site, they’ve partnered with many surrounding restaurants to offer special rates to guests for all three meals of the day. While the beach is incredibly alluring, the neighborhood offers plenty of attractions. The hotel is just five minutes away from SeaWorld and only 15 minutes from the famed San Diego Zoo.

Modern, laid-back, and relaxing. The perfect words for San Diego culture epitomized in the incredibly enjoyable Ocean Beach Hotel.

My stay at Ocean Beach hotel was truly delightful. The experience was consistently positive thanks to the wonderful staff and perfect location. Despite the rooms being on the smaller side, they were always impeccably clean and well maintained. The hotel's proximity to a wide variety of dining options and shopping venues made it incredibly convenient — everything I needed was right at my fingertips...

The location was perfect, OB is amazing. While the room was small, you can tell that it had been recently updated and it was very nice. Even better, while staying at the property you could see the staff actively working to improve the hotel. With the bed, it is very soft. So if you are used to a firm mattress be prepared.

Pros (+) I love the view! it was so wonderful to stay by the beach! The beach became too crowded around 12 so we retreated to the hotel. It was so wonderful being so close to the beach but still being able to social distance. The front desk handed out masks and hand sanitizer which was a really nice touch. I'm a nurse and my partner is a doctor and we really respected the way this hotel was handling things...

Pros (+) Literally steps from the beach. Very friendly staff. Beautiful courtyard
Cons (-) Room smelled like a public restroom, room cleanliness was questionable at best. Dustbunnies hanging from the ceiling, splatters on the ceiling and walls in bathroom- definitely did not feel comfortable. Very small/old rooms. Especially considering the price. Location is great proximity to the beach but the area is packed with homeless people. Did not feel safe walking around even during the day ti...

Pros (+) It is a perfect spot near the beach, plenty of shops, dining within walking distance. People are laid back, friendly, welcoming. Beds are comfortable. Staff is amazing!!! Courtyard is beautiful! Well worth the $$$$.
Cons (-) The improvements are a work in process. Can tell that they are gradual which is good as it keeps the prices realistic. Thank you for keeping character and charm! It is a true beach hotel that fits well with the area.

Pros (+) I loved that we were so close to the beach. You could hear the waves crashing in the morning. Staff very friendly. Free parking was always available even during the busy Memorial Day weekend. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely go back.
Cons (-) The floor/ceiling is thin between the first floor and 2nd. The group upstairs were loud and partied late on Friday and Saturday. We didn't inform the front desk so maybe no one else heard. Bathroom was small. I think if there were shelves or hooks even, that would help instead of laying things down on the toilet seat or sink.

Pros (+) The proximity to the dog beach it's a plus. The room was small by the courtyard for one person and two dogs. Comfortable bed, tasteful modern furnishings. Needs a microwave, coffee maker and toaster. Love the patio with the view of the Ocean, but not the homeless and hippies been loud and obnoxious but I guess this is been an on going issue in Ocean Beach. I stayed six nights and the last three ni...

Pros (+) Small, clean rooms. Not much in the way of in-room comfortable seating space. Nice area in the courtyard with seating around tables. Bathrooms are small - be careful you don't hit your head on the sink when you're on the toilet. Still, I'd stay there again. Location, location, location.

FAQs when booking at Ocean Beach Hotel

  • Why should you book a room at Ocean Beach Hotel?

    The Ocean Beach Hotel has offered business travelers and adventure seekers lodging for years. It all comes down to the location. You will be 30 steps away from the beach. Restaurants are everywhere, and the hotel staff speaks English. Available at unbeatable prices, several rooms have beach views, so you can enjoy meals while overlooking the blue Pacific Ocean. Have fun outside and take photos on the beautiful patios and terraces in the inviting courtyard. You can expect a 4-start service for a 2 or 3-star hospitality rate.

  • Must I pick up the room keys at the front desk?

    You don’t need to carry keys around because Ocean Beach Hotel offers contactless check-in or keyless entry. You don’t need to wait for a receptionist to give you the room keys when you arrive. Simply head straight to your designated suite and relax after a long trip. You will be granted the contactless entry when you confirm your booking. The information will be sent through SMS, email, or mobile app. It is usually a keycode that you have to use in the smart door lock system instead of a physical key.

  •  Where can I grab some beer at or around Ocean Beach Hotel?

    There are about three breweries near Ocean Beach Hotel- Culture Brewing, Hess Brewing, and Pizza Port. The Culture Brewing is ideal for passing time after dinner with a favorite beer. Enjoy some cold beer while surrounded by wall art and modern concrete decorations. Pizza Port brewpub offers some of the award-winning beers in the world and also serves thick-crust pizza topped with fresh ingredients. Gather around a big communal table while sipping delicious brew with your friends in an outdoor setting featuring several TV screens. Hess Brewing is the best spot to take in the ocean breeze with a wheat beer in your hand, and you can bring your dog along.

  • What’s the best way to book a room if I have a dog?

    Ensure you have booked the correct room that’s designed for pets. The first floor, which is also wheelchair accessible, has various pet-friendly rooms, some of which have one or two queen beds and access to a patio. So, to book a pet-friendly room, you must select between a mobility-accessible, courtside, and patio room. You can ask for assistance, and a professional will gladly help. Ocean Beach Hotel may charge you an extra fee, usually a flat rate per stay. The cost will vary depending on the length of your lodging and the number of pets. We recommend you confirm beforehand if there are any breed or size restrictions. After checking in, never leave your dog to roam around unaccompanied.

  • How does a terrace view differ from a garden view at Ocean Beach Hotel, San Diego?

    Rooms with a terrace view provide a partial ocean view, given that they face the outside world. These are usually on higher floors and may have a balcony where you can feel the onshore breeze. A garden view room is on the courtside, facing the interior side of the building. Here, you can enjoy the spectacular scenery of people moving across the patios. Generally, a garden view neither faces the pool nor the sea. It is best to step out and get some fresh air.
