The front ocean view rooms are 25 yards from the sand. Rooms are clean and updated. Best people watching at the beach was right from the French doors of our 2nd floor room. Courtyard has great views as well. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Bed was comfortable. Free parking was easy and a great asset at this location. Shades restaurant next door has a good breakfast. Lighthouse ice cream across the street has best rocky road ice cream we've ever had. Pier walk is nice and so is the cafe out on the pier. Locals are friendly. Bums are around the beach but aren't bothersome. Neighborhood is scary at night though due to the nearby dive bars. If you want a nice dinner drive to someplace outside of OB.
