Cons:

Categories

Cleanliness
8.5
Generally reported as clean: shared bathrooms described as 'clean enough', rooms called 'limpia' and 'clean'. A few reports of unpleasant smell in one room but overall housekeeping is acceptable.
Service
6
Mixed service: some guests mention welcoming staff, but several reports of unfriendly or unresponsive staff (no night reception, ignored refund request, generic replies to reviews) lower this score.
Location
10
Consistently praised: very good location for LA city trips, close to bus to Santa Monica, quiet neighbourhood and convenient for sightseeing — repeatedly listed as a main pro.
Room Quality
5
Multiple complaints: no air conditioning (only fans), rooms very hot, small room sizes, thin walls/noise, broken roller shutter causing lack of privacy and one report of bad odor — room comfort is a notable issue.
Amenities
8
Basic but useful amenities: fridge, toiletries, earplugs, parking and option to order food to the room were available. However absence of A/C in many rooms and lack of secure locks for some shared showers reduce the score slightly.
Value for Money
7.7
Standard quality for this hotel tier; not specifically discussed by most reviewers, so assigned the target overall rating.
Food and Beverage
7.7
Not widely discussed; a few notes about the possibility to order food to the room but no restaurant or dining details, so assigned the target overall rating.
Overall Experience
8.7
Mixed but generally positive for travelers prioritizing location and quiet neighbourhood. Several negative but specific issues (heat, lack of A/C, occasional poor service) affect comfort; many still found the stay acceptable or recommendable for short visits.

Lage gut, der Rest leider gar nicht
Pros:

Die Lage war gut für einen LA Städtetrip, um alles gut mit dem Bus zu erreichen. Die geteilten Waschräume waren soweit sauber genug.

Cons:

Keine Klimaanlage im Zimmer, teils sehr unfreundliches Personal, sehr hellhörig. Das erste Zimmer im ersten Stock war so unerträglich warm und hat unangenehm gerochen, dass es nicht auszuhalten war. Daraufhin habe ich ins Erdgeschoss gewechselt. Der Rollladen in meinen zweiten Zimmer war kaputt und konnte nicht geschlossen werden, dadurch keinerlei Privatsphäre, da das Zimmer im Erdgeschoss direkt am Parkplatz des Hotels lag, den Tag über direkte Sonneneinstrahlung ohne Klimaanlage zum ausgleichen und nachts viel zu hell durch das Licht vom Parkplatz.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

We had a terrible experience at Ocean Park Hotel. On our last night, before a long day of driving, the smoke alarm started making a loud noise every 25 seconds for no reason, making it impossible to sleep. There was no reception staff available at night. I contacted the hotel to request a refund for that night and provided video evidence, but received no response. Completely ignored. Very disappointing customer service and a lack of respect for guests.

Their replies to Google reviews also seem generic and don’t really address guests’ concerns. Complete lack of care for their guests.

LA 1 night
Pros:

Check in bol rýchly. Možnosť parkovania vo dvore. Možnosť objednať si jedlo na izbu. Kúsok od hotela je zastávka autobusu č8. s ktorým sa dá odviezť k pláži v Santa Monice - dá sa platiť kartou. Spali sme tu jednu noc a mali sme izbu s vlastnou kúpeľňou. Na jednu noc to stačí.

Cons:

Na izbe bolo neskutočne teplo. Žiadna klimatizácia len ventilátor na strope, nedalo sa vôbec spať. Človek vyšiel zo sprchy a bol okamžite znovu spotený. Keby som tu mala stráviť viac ako jeden deň, tak sa upečiem.

Douches à améliorer de la part du propriétaire 😁
Pros:

Pourrait avoir une meilleure note si

Cons:

Les douches communes ne fermaient pas à clef et il n’y avait rien pour poser les affaires. C’est dommage car sinon globalement le séjour était très bien.

Pros:

Ubicación no muy lejos de Santa Mónica. Habitación limpia. Barrio tranquilo. Ducha grande. Cama muy cómoda. Tiene nevera y articulos de aseo y te dan tapones de oidos.

Cons:

No había aire acondicionado (cosa que ya informan, pero sí tenian un ventilador aunque a primeros de septiembre habia un calor humedo durante el día difícil de soportar, pero por la noche es más llevadero. Habitación justita de espacio si llevas equipaje grande.
