The OB Hotel is ideal for families wanting to visit and have Beach Days! It’s directly across the street for easy walking! They also provide a foot rinse to rinse the sand off your feet before going into your room. The flooring is not carpet so you don’t feel bad bringing some of the ocean water and sand back with you. Our patio was private with tall chairs so we could people watch and view the sunset each night. Will definitely return!!

I think the hotel has a great view and a lot of access to the whole ocean beach area. Everything is very commutable by foot and there’s a lot of good bars and food options just around the hotel. Truthfully it’s not that far from downtown maybe a 20 minute drive depending on traffic. And the staff was very helpful in finding food options and things to do.

The staff was super nice and accommodating. The parking spots were a little tight with a mid-size suv but we always had a spot. Our room was clean and enough room for two of us, just wish it had a microwave. Great spot to watch the sunset and surfers and great location for food and drinks just around the corner. Almost didn’t need a vehicle with everything in walking distance.
