Situated right on the beachfront, the location can’t be beat. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to store our luggage as we arrived early via Uber. Comfy bed and the room was quiet. Great features such as filtered water and espresso machines and an honesty bar too. The outdoor lounge area with music is such a nice touch. The nearby grassy knoll park to the south is gorgeous too.

The location is great, right on the beach, and walking distance from good eating. I was in town for a conference at a resort about 2 blocks away, I’m happy I stayed at the Ocean Park Inn, it was way more affordable and the rooms were nicer. Bed was super comfortable, room spacious, nicely decorated and very clean. Staff were very friendly and super helpful.

This hotel is on the beach. There is nice area with sunbeds and chillin with ocean view. Beach is long so you can enjoy long walks. In the hotel you can borrow surfs, boogie boards for free. Hotel is next to the lifeguard headquarter so you can feel very safe. Nice places to eat are in walking distance.
