Location is clearly why people stay here. You can walk 5-10 minutes to beach and boardwalk. Note it's pet friendly so that can be a plus or minus depending on your situation. I did not have a pet and fid not care for the odor in the room. I opened the window for fresh air, but there's a very active soccer field across the street that is quite loud. The bed was comfy but the rest of the room was uncomfortable, not kept up, and even a bit scary. Fan cover missing, nasty looking shower area and sink. Mini fridge and freezer=not clean and needed defrosting. No latch on door but holes from where I assume one used to be. I regretted staying here.

The property is in a good location. It's in good shape and is safe and clean. I only had two issues. The room smelled like cigarette smoke. It was masked at first by the scented spray but when I woke up I felt like I was a smoker. I smelled like smoke. My mouth tasted like smoke and my lungs hurt. There are ashtrays located all around the property, so clearly smokers are welcome. This is new to me. I haven't thought about cigarette smoke in years. I haven't' seen a smoker or been in a room like this. It was disgusting. The second issue which was more random. When checking in at almost 7PM on a Tues night there were 5 other groups checking in. We were all waiting in the small lobby and there was only one young woman checking us in. Took almost 30 min due to some issues one of the guests had with their reservation.

We stay at Ocean Pacific because it is dog friendly and in a good location - walkable to the wharf, beach and downtown. There are not a lot of amenities but it's a decent room at a decent price.
