Overall great spot. Great location. Basic amenities. Pool wasn’t really heated to well. Also the pillows and the bed weren’t the best either. Pillows were very used and flat. Time for some news ones

Perfect location. Old hotel that needs some work/upgrades. Was noisy at times and we could hear our neighbors and people above us. Good for families that might not mind some noise and looked to be pet friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Pluses: This hotel/motel has a good central location, although very quiet at night – even though the place was pretty full. The room was OK, and the bed was super-comfortable. We had a very good night’s sleep after a late-night performance at Kuumbwa Jazz Center (3 min drive away). The reception staff were very helpful. Minuses: The biggest negative was that there was no safety latch or chain on the inside of the hotel room door. The wi-fi was very unreliable (“last century” connectivity). Parking is a bit tight, especially if you have a large vehicle. The place could do with some updating.

A pleasant respite between downtown and the wharf

We have stayed at Ocean Pacific a couple times, and it is perfectly serviceable for our SC needs. It is about equidistant to walk to either downtown or the Wharf/Boardwalk, which are some of our favorite tromps. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable, and there is a good fan/AC/heat combo mounted on the wall. We will definitely stay here again.
