What guests say
9.1 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 176 guest reviews
The Ocean Plaza Hotel earns consistently strong praise for its unbeatable beach-side location, generous and well-received breakfast, friendly staff, and thoughtful extras like free snacks and beach towels. As a vintage property, it does come with trade-offs — noise travels easily between rooms, stairs are narrow, and a few guests noted minor maintenance niggles such as a faulty door lock and wobbly porch tables. Overall, the vast majority of guests left satisfied and would return.
