8/10 Good
"The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel was about a 10 minute walk to the beach and had a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony of our room. Clientele appeared to be older GenX and younger Boomers. Breakfast was excellent and not as expensive as the diners in town. Parking lot could use some improvement. The wifi was kind of spotty and the lack of access to food/drink other than a parking lot vending machine was annoying. The staff was very nice and I was able to get some water bottles from the front desk. The office had some nice souvenirs, and make sure to get a cookie or two when you check in."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a very enjoyable stay overall and would definitely consider returning. The hotel has a lot going for it, especially the beautiful beachfront location, gorgeous views, convenient access to food and shopping, and the friendly staff. We genuinely loved several things about our stay, and with a little more attention to cleanliness and upkeep, I think the experience could be elevated considerably. Great customer service! We appreciated the friendliness and patience of the staff we interacted with. Having valet service made coming and going much easier, especially when we were carrying things or returning to the hotel after being out for the day. The room was clean, with ample space and a comfortable bed; the rooftop bar was a nice place to spend time, especially because of the atmosphere and views; the cornhole board and the pool were also enjoyable. We loved being able to rent bikes, which was a fun and convenient way to explore the surrounding area. Suggestions for improvement: frequent balcony cleaning or power washing (railings, corners, ceilings, and areas where spiders and webs tend to accumulate); paint touch-ups where outdoor areas are showing wear; frequent dusting, sweeping, and inspection of stairways-particularly in high-traffic areas; and addressing the musty smell in the stairways. I hope these suggestions are taken in positive spirits because the hotel has a beautiful setting and many wonderful qualities that are worth preserving and building upon :)"

Ocean House Hotel at Bass Rocks

10/10 Excellent
"The room was wonderful- clean and had a deck right off of our slider & we were steps away from a beautiful pool and hot tub. The staff were friendly and helpful. The views of the water crashing on the rocks were amazing and there were chairs set up to sit and enjoy. There was a firepit and they served cookies and coffee in the afternoon & cheese and wine in the early evening. There was a nice breakfast in the morning serving spinach and feta or ham and cheese hot croissants, fruit and bagels and eggs. I would rate our experience a 10 out of 10. Will definitely come again."
