"We've stayed in a lot of places over the years, but this is the first one everyone agrees on to be worthy of 5 stars. Everything was great! The kitchen had everything one could possibly need for cooking and serving, including spices and salt and pepper grinders. The house had a washer, dryer, and all supplies needed to do laundry. The location and views were fantastic, and communications with the managers was a breeze. We're all looking forward to returning to this property. "

Ocean Pacific Lodge

Ocean Pacific Lodge

4/10 Poor
"The location was perfect! Easy and convenient access and walking to downtown, the beach, wharf and Boardwalk! The pillows were very flat and the mattresses were hard! The amenities in the hotel could be upgraded, along with the furniture. Some of the chairs and desks are old and run down. Overall it was fine for one night, but felt like it could’ve be a little more spruced up for the location and price we paid. Staff was helpful and friendly at check-in and for other questions. There was also construction happening a few rooms over, on an early Monday Memorial Day morning @ 8:00am. That shouldn’t have happened on a holiday weekend with guests still asleep."
