What guests think

Ocean Beach Palace draws mixed reviews, with many guests appreciating its budget-friendly value, walkable location near the beach and restaurants, and two pools, while others report dated exteriors, noise, and uneven upkeep across rooms and shared areas.

Staff feedback is split: many describe friendly, accommodating service, but others cite slow or unhelpful front desks, unclear deposits and extra fees, and housekeeping only on request with inconsistent follow-through. Rooms range from renovated and spacious to basic or small; common complaints include loud air conditioners, street or pool noise, dated fixtures, and unreliable Wi‑Fi or TV, while some suites feature in‑room jetted tubs with mixed maintenance. Cleanliness is inconsistent, with repeated mentions of musty or moldy odors, occasional insects, and discolored tap or tub water, contrasted by many reports of very clean rooms. Expect a budget stay near the action, without direct beach access or full‑service amenities.

The ad indicates a restaurant we couldn't find it and don't believe there is one. It looks like it was converted to a bike rental shop. We paid extra for the "Honeymoon" suite but my wife was so repulsed she didn't touch the hot tub. There was only a small window for ventilation in the restroom which when used results in a compromise between hot humid outside air and internal A/C. The staff wasn't rude but didn't bother to explain that our room was an entire building adjacent and unattached to the main check-in. They let us wander until we asked. They saw us confused and didn't take initiative to help until we asked. Getting into the bed sounded like kicking a metal garbage can. We will likle never stay there on purpose again. Its NOT priced well in my opinion.

The moment we pulled in everything went smooth. Parking areas are super quick and easy and accessible. The pools are clean and fantastic. The location and pricing is also perfect as you can walk less than a block to the beach without the very high cost of being on a beachfront property. It is also several minutes within walk distance to a wide variety of amazing restaurants, bar and grills, etc.

Out Dated, Pool was not vacuumed the entire 8 days, Photos are not accurate of what's there, Across the street is the Tiki Bar, I give it a 90! It's a 10 min walk for Beach Access unless you go to the Ocean Manor. The price is good if all you want is a place to sleep

They are currently in the renovation process. Ocean Beach Palace has 2 beautiful pools. The lobby is beautiful and the staff was very nice and helpful. This was a last minute stay I planned very poorly and they were very accommodating. Avril helped me with reservation updates and upgrades. There is an early check in fee. Local beach, restaurants and shopping is all within walking distance. Shuttle service to and from the airport is available from a separate company that they suggested and was awesome.

We booked last minute for our trip and the hotel was okay for what we needed (we spent little time in the room). Room was big enough for our needs as a family of four. Cleanliness left something to be desired as we found other people’s hairs in the bed and the bath and generally a bit dusty/ grubby feeling. Pool area was clean enough. Coffee maker didn’t work but not really a bit deal as we just grabbed a coffee from dunking donuts over the road. Air conditioning units were extremely loud but at least it meant we could hear any other guests or the road outside! Overall it’s a fine and safe place to stay but don’t expect any luxuries.

The plus side was that the manager contacted us i.mediately in the morning. We told her our issues and she immediately gave us a different room. Also. Our AC unit had 1 setting. Off and high. We turned up the temperature and it smelled like it was on fire

Check in was easy. We asked hours before for a room not facing the loud street. They said they could place us in a room that faced the neighborhood, instead. Well, all room face the highway!!! It was clean and good sheets and bedding. I brought earplugs, which helped a little. If noise doesn't bother you, or you have poor hearing then you'll like this. It's an older building, so bring earplugs, just in case. It's about a 5" walk to the beach. It was too windy, so we didn't go there. Three*thirty8seven is about average for a night on the beach, or at least near the beach.

Customer service is horrible and reflects the appearance of the hotel. These people deal with crack heads and homeless people at this place so there attitude for a business person is off. They treat everyone bad and there attitudes stink. The same guy working at the front desk works security too at night and actually knocked at my door at 11pm to disrupt me and threatened to call the police on me. Claimed that my credit card for incidentals didn’t go through at check in but they gave me my keys and ran my card and my bank showed the hold. Literallybanged on my door and threatened to kick me out. The incidental fee was 50$. What a joke this place is if you stay there it’s your fault

The fact that my reservation through Expedia seem to been cancelled by the resort or not processed was concerning enough. The young women who was behind the desk had no empathy at all and was not courteous to our situation. Her words “not my fault”. For a beach resort you need to walk 3/4 of a mile in one direction to get to the beach. The other direction is over a mile. Try that with flip flops and a beach chair. The night desk gentleman was a good attendant and Try to be accommodating and was very apologetic. Customer service goes a long way. Wouldn’t stay there again.

We stayed here for 5 nights total, before and after our cruise. First impression? It looks a little less impressive than the online photos, and we got the same comment from another couple we met who were staying there. We didn't have any issues, and didn't ask for housekeeping..it had to be requested each day. Check in and out were very slow. The location was pretty good. There were restaurants, liquor store, deli, grocery store within a short walking distance. We found a hopping and fun place to spend a couple of evenings just north of the hotel (20 min walk) called Lauderdale by the Sea on Commercial Blvd. It had restaurants, pubs, live music, ice cream, pizza etc. The beach was NOT easy to get to as it is on the other side of the privately-owned condominium apartments that you can't just walk through as they are gated. A work around was to go through the lobby of the two hotels but we tried to be discreet as I'm sure they don't want everyone doing this. Otherwise you are walking several blocks to find an opening that led to the beach. Overall, it was a decent stay if you don't want to spend more money on the name-brand hotels.

I booked this hotel because all the pictures show beach and the site says you can walk to the beach in 4 minutes. However this end of the beach is much more private. It is blocked off by the hotels and apartment complexes along it. We walked for around 15 minutes or more to find a location to get to the beach. All of the pictures that are posted here look to be the other end of the beach which is a 15 minute drive away. Also there was very few restaurants close. The onsite restaurant was not open. However the room itself was very nice and quiet. The pool was heated. I didn't get in but it was nice looking and the area around it provided a nice area to hang out. Overall, don't go here if you are looking to be close to the beach. Otherwise the hotel itself is nice.

this property is great for younger passengers, their restaurant was under construction which was not on website. It was clean and a 3* so you get what you pay for they charge for parking. Not the best for cruise packages for persons with a car no extended parking so you should book a hotel that includes extended parking. or insure you book a parking facility prior to going for a cruise especially if you are driving.
