I chose to stay at the Ocean Park Inn because it was rated relatively well, and I was able to get one of the ocean view king bed rooms. To start, the location is fantastic! You are right on the beachfront walk, close to the pier and steps away from the beach. The view from our room was also perfect – there are no buildings obstructing your view of the ocean, palm trees, and sunset. If you’re looking for a good view, however, request a 2nd or 3rd floor room – the 1st floor rooms have a patio and places to sit, but have an obstructed view.
They do have a parking garage underneath the hotel, though you can only park one car per room in it. They also offer a continental breakfast, which had cereal, pastries, fruit, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, waffles, toast, and bagels. The breakfast area is pretty. The pool is heated and well kept, with nice lounge chairs around it. The hot tub is also nice, and is next to the pool.
Our bed was comfortable, and our room was large. It was decorated in pastel colors from the 70’s (most notable in the bathroom), and could use some updated decorations. Also, the room smelled of chlorine and humidity. We did have a microwave and mini-fridge though. My one complaint, aside from the decorations, was our curtains. There was mold starting to grow on the sheer curtains, and they could have used a good washing. This was kind of gross.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and if we got a good deal on room rates, we would stay here again. Just keep in mind that the rooms are NOT luxury rooms, no matter how nice the outside of the hotel looks
