My hubby and I had our honeymoon at OB Hotel and it exceeded our expectations! It was absolutely beautiful and well kept. Our room was very clean and was cleaned daily (with as much sand as we tracked in it was necessary!) It really is right on the beach :) OB is a great area to stay in with tons... More

And we were in King Suite 201 (301 would be the same, only one floor up). But with the view and sound of the waves and the OB Pier, also came some street noises. We got used to it after one night. NOT FANCY BY ANY MEANS. We had a balcony out one direction and French doors that open up... More

Thank you so much for the review and we are very excited that you will be a return guest at the OB Hotel when you are back in San Diego! The King Suites are an excellent choice with the full view of the ocean - no better way to fall asleep than to the sound of the crashing waves. I'm... More

The OB Hotel has really been cleaned up! Growing up in SD, I knew it's reputation, but we took a chance anyway. I was super impressed by how clean and upgraded it was. The staff was nice and helpful. The room was small, but very clean and comfortable. Almost every room has an ocean view. Well done OB Hotel, we... More

This hotel is in a fun location-- lots to see within walking distance and right across the street from the beach. BE WARNED though-- the room photos on the hotel's website are deceptive... our room was dirty and run-down (mold in bathroom, beat up furniture missing parts, old/dirty bed linens, etc). If properly renovated and cared for this hotel could... More

We went for a friend's birthday, recommended by another friend so we all stayed because of affordability and location. Literally walk across the street and you are at the beach. My husband upgraded to a suite that overlooked the ocean, just beautiful. The only problem was the service... We were in our room and everyone was having beers getting a... More

There's no doubt the room was small, but there's a bed, a TV, a small table to eat at and a bathroom. All you need. Bed was nice, it was a relief after the awful bed I had in my last hotel. We slept great. Area is just the best, we had a great time down there. There was a... More

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! Yes, you are correct - when the building was originally built they made the rooms on the smaller side. We do our very best with space management to make them very enjoyable beach front rooms. In the future, if you prefer more spacious rooms, try our remodeled Ocean View Condo 2 Queen... More

The hotel has a great staff, the rooms were very comfortable and with it located right on the beach nobody could beat the value of our stay. So many good dining choices for any meal within walking distances as well as night life and entertainment. Plenty of nearby shopping. 10 minute cab ride from the airport and 20 to the... More

I am torn in writing this review as the hotel itself was nice but the area surrounding it isn't. My thoughts on staying here are this - If you are with adults then you are fine and, given the number of bars you could have a lot of fun. - If you are with your kids, I would not recommend... More

Thank you for the review! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed the hotel but disappointed that you got that impression of Ocean Beach. Sounds to me that our front desk did not give you recommendations for places to eat with kids. Some of my favorite family friendly places to eat are Shades Ocean Front Bistro, Hodad's, Raglan Public... More

This hotel was perfect for what we needed. The view is beautiful and the strip has so many interesting shops. It is fairly easy to walk to sunset cliffs from here as well.

Thank you for the review! Ocean Beach has some really neat local shops - very few of the international brand stores - which makes shopping a unique, local experience. From surf shops to antique stores to hip clothing stores - OB has some great local flavor when it comes to San Diego shopping. I'm disappointed that Skype didn't work -... More
