Lock in a great price for Ocean Pacific Lodge – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

We thought it was a nice hotel, good location, friendly staff. Obviously very dog friendly. We likes the Keurig machine in the room alot.

Sassy, United States of America

The fact that it was clean, staff was great, the jacuzzi after walking at the boardwalk, the TV had all kinds of channels, all the space the room had.

Alejandra, United States of America

Space two TVs jacuzzi two refrigerators close to boardwalk bed nice and firm quite place to stay.

Jess, United States of America

I always stay at the OP Lodge!. Great location, great amenities. Comfortable, clean. Hot tub and pool a bonus! Safe, secure and seriously wonderful location. Plenty of parking. I recommend with hesitation.

Mr, United States of America

The staff ! Friendly and helpful at all times ( I tend to wake up early ). The staff ! Naomi , at the front desk , seemed genuinely interested in the purpose for my family's travels and gave my two appreciative dogs treats on top of that ! Oh , and below ? I'm the husband , Seth , . Lydia is asleep - long drive home to Imperial Beach.

Lydia, United States of America

Nice light and spacious room with hard wood floor. Clean.

Mark, Switzerland

Upset to hear of local ordinances phasing out the free breakfast at the hotels that don’t have a full kitchen. Why do you need a full kitchen to put out a continental style breakfast??? There are mornings you just want fruit , toast , cereal or oatmeal to go. It was so handy to have breakfast to go and not worry about traveling out for it. Love what they did have for a breakfast. Love the clean rooms and great staff.

Gayle, United States of America

Staff very friendly and polite- room was perfect, the bathrooms clean and spacious- would definitely recommend! Oh and the light breakfast perfect 👌

Colleen, United States of America

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was situated well. The beds are plush and comfortable and space adequate.

Fsn, United States of America

We really liked the location walking distance from the beach. The room was very clean, the bed was so comfortable. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about recommendations on surrounding things to do .

I was disappointed that they had NO food period for breakfast, not even pre-packaged food. They explained a reason for no breakfast but pre-packaged foods would still be ok with the new law. Only other complaint was that the soda machine didnt take $1 Bill's so we couldn't get any bottled water. Rooms could use blackout curtains for sure!
We thought it was a nice hotel, good location, friendly staff. Obviously very dog friendly. We likes the Keurig machine in the room alot.

Coffee maker in room did not work and no coffee in reception area. Refrigerator in room was noisy. Quite a bit of noise from room above and some from next door. Toilet needed giggling to stop water from running continuously.
No eggs. Bed very good. Large room. Heating system worked. Walking distance to Pacific Ave for breakfast. Parking area secure.

The iron had seen better days. The temp. control plate had been knocked off of the knob making it very difficult to determine if it was set on "MELT" or whatever - didn't feel safe. Also , the TV needs Christian programming to be made available. TBN , Daystar - quality , clean , and proclaiming the glory of Jesus Christ with no shame !
