If you need a clean affordable place to stay, this is it. Walking to beach area, dining and feels safe. There is no fancy stuff here. A/C was a bit noisy but we lived with it. 1 and a half rolls of toilet paper was barely enough for a one night stay, bathrooms were clean. I'll be back for a quick stay.

I liked the smoking area where the pool used to be. The property had a tiny pool they turned into a fenced patio area with a fire pit they keep open late. There's also a dog run area for your puppy to potty etc. Great updates to the property!

5 star motel!

We had the best time on our overnight stay at ocean pacific motel! We were greeted like family and the room was so clean and smelled fresh when we walked in. This motel was much cleaner than some 4 and 5 star hotels that we had stayed in!! I will definitely come back and stay again. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great stay and location

Staff was super friendly and the check in process was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable. My only issue was the road noise as the Motel is close to a highway. Other than that, the stay was great. I would come again.
