Ocean Lodge Hotel

I’ve stayed in crappy conditions but nothing compares to this hotel. I’d rather sleep in my car because of how filthy it was. The floors were black and the carpet was crunchy and sandy upon arrival. In the bathroom there was an ant infestation and mold everywhere. The rooms itself were pretty small and had good AC, but there was leftover trash and products from the previous people. The room itself is advertised way bigger online than how it was in person and did not accommodate our big group at all. Lastly the service is horrible. The landlord was so rude and accusing us of things the next door neighbors were doing. I understand she was stressed out already, but she continued being so rude after we talked to her calmly explaining the situation. I would not recommend staying here despite the prices and good reviews. Other neighbors were complaining about the EXACT same things, it’s clear this hotel lacks the proper necessities for any stay. I usually never review for places but yens need to watch out

Rooms are extremely small, barely enough room for your luggage. Parking for south is a lot across the street with designated spots however people will park there without passes and if you park elsewhere in that lot you’ll be asked to move so keep that in mind. Also can’t plug in too many things at a time or a breaker will flip. Comfortable beds with a good amount of pillows. Nice updated bathroom. The fridge in our room was smaller than the one in the pictures. Overall I think overpriced for what you get and parking can be annoying but location is great.

AVOID THIS HOTEL: Unprofessional, Deceptive, and Discriminatory Service.

My experience here was nothing short of horrific.
After calling ahead to confirm availability and pricing, I was met with extreme rudeness from staff who repeatedly hung up on me. Despite the hostile phone service, they confirmed a room was available. I booked online and arrived, only to be met with further obstruction—staff refused to provide basic information, such as parking directions, until I was physically inside.
Upon arrival, despite their "VACANCY" sign being brightly lit, the clerk claimed my booking was invalid and refused me a room. When I spoke to the manager, the situation escalated. Rather than addressing the error, the manager was openly hostile, threatened to call the police, and demanded I leave.
Beyond the logistical nightmare, I left feeling deeply hurt and humiliated. Throughout this ordeal, I felt racially profiled and completely dehumanized. My attempts to resolve this civilly were met with cold disregard; I was treated like trash, not a paying customer.
This establishment is heartless and clearly does not care about the people they serve. They knowingly keep their vacancy signs lit to mislead exhausted travelers, only to mistreat them upon arrival. I did not deserve this treatment, and I strongly urge everyone to take their business elsewhere to avoid this abusive environment. Ruined my 4th of July.
