This hotel is small, and is in an excellent location. The rooms are completely adequate, of normal size and wear.

The staff is a nightmare - its a bunch of college kids who don't care. We would wait at the desk while they were talking and joking amongst themselves. They are extremely unhelpful.

This hotel also has no food/beverage in house, although there area many area restaurants etc.

People from the front desk came and screamed at everyone in the pool a couple of times because of noise. I didn't even think anyone was being too noisy.

Only plus of this hotel is the location - on pacific beach surrounding the amazing nightlife there.. cabs available to take you anywhere else in San Diego..

My boyfriend and I stayed here over Labor Day weekend last year 2007 and had the best time! I flew in from Rochester,NY and met him here (he was working in San Bernardino at the time). We stayed in an oceanview room that was just steps from the ocean. It's a great location if you like to be active and run/bike/rollerblade along the boardwalk. Also we walked everywhere...great restaurants and shops all over. Perfect distance for a quick car ride to La Jolla, Cornado and Mission Bay (gotta go jet skiing...so fun!).

The staff was very friendly and the room was very clean! The only negative about this place was the cramped parking garage (what can you do?) that my boyfriend backed into a cement barrier in. oops! We had fun anyway! Definitely recommend this hotel and would definitely go back!

Just returned from three nights at OPI, and it was really a fabulous place to stay and a good value. I am suprised that anyone would complain about the place, unless you're a smoker who got busted! Go to OPI if you like: waking up listening to the ocean waves, good bed and clean environment, friendly staff, excellent proximity to restaurants, shops, bars, drugstores, nice pool/hot tub and big free breakfast. I thought PB was a lot nicer than the beaches further south, and Ocean Park Inn really faces the ocean and is in the best location of any around. A true comfortable, casual find. You will need a car if you mean to go sightseeing - parking is easy but costs $10 per day.

My wife and I have been coming to the Ocean Park Inn three or four times a year for 15 years. There are very few places in Southern California other than the OPI that you can stay right on the beach (not the bay or harbor) and be so close to hear the waves crashing. The price is half of what I pay at Shutters or the Lowes in Santa Monica and even though they are considered beach front hotels the walk to the water is about 300 yards. The rooms are becoming a little outdated however they are still clean and larger than the rooms you see in a Westin or Sheraton. The location is a perfect walk to many shops, bars, and cafes. When I read some of the reviews I am suprised, try the Best Western Blue Sea Lodge or the Surfer Beach Hotel if you want an undesireable experience. Ocean Park has my vote and will continue to have my vote.
