I absolutely love the location, the aesthetic, the great restaurant downstairs and how friendly the staff is. I was so appreciative of the upgrade to an oceanfront view. We had the best trip ever and the best sleep of our lives. We kept the sliding door open our whole visit. It was heaven on earth! Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Perfect location easy parking in carport next to entrance. All rooms were perfect and the kitchen, although we only used glassware and the fridge and did no food prep, was top notch. Very clean. Lovely garden area. AC and fans kept us comfortable. 1/2 block from beach and the main shopping and dining street with lots of choices. We had great dinners, drinks and coffee just steps away. All appliances and the TVs worked perfectly. Very roomy place. Once we arrived we parked and never moved our car till we departed. Lb

    Situated right on the beachfront, the location can’t be beat. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to store our luggage as we arrived early via Uber. Comfy bed and the room was quiet. Great features such as filtered water and espresso machines and an honesty bar too. The outdoor lounge area with music is such a nice touch. The nearby grassy knoll park to the south is gorgeous too.

    The location is great, right on the beach, and walking distance from good eating. I was in town for a conference at a resort about 2 blocks away, I’m happy I stayed at the Ocean Park Inn, it was way more affordable and the rooms were nicer. Bed was super comfortable, room spacious, nicely decorated and very clean. Staff were very friendly and super helpful.

    Excellent location! This hostel faces the magnificent Pacific Ocean. It is the very best seaside hostel I have stayed. I wish I would have known this hostel earlier as I feel that the previous four nights were wasted on staying at various beachside hostels at San Diego and LA.

    This hotel is on the beach. There is nice area with sunbeds and chillin with ocean view. Beach is long so you can enjoy long walks. In the hotel you can borrow surfs, boogie boards for free. Hotel is next to the lifeguard headquarter so you can feel very safe. Nice places to eat are in walking distance.
