Located so you can walk all over downtown and go to the beach without having to drive. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Our AC was actually not working in our original room, and they moved us no problem, even offered to help move our things.

Nice quiet room, ok bathroom. Steps from the beach! 5-10 minutes walk to restaurants. You get an assigned parking spot some of which can be a little challenging to get in. Will stay again.

This was our first time at OOB and we will be coming back! The hotel check in was easy and Shirley made our stay exceptional. The location couldn’t be any better. On the beautiful and uncrowded beach, quiet except for the occasional train across the street, and walking distance from all the activities. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean: our room, the heated pool, and the surrounding areas. The only suggestion we have are the beds are not very comfortable. Very clean and were given lots of pillows but the frames and mattresses weren’t great (very flimsy).

Nice, little hotel right by the foot path to the beach. You can tell this is an older hotel, but it has been completely redone and is well maintained. It still has the quaint feel of a classic beach hotel.
