5 / 5 Excellent

We stayed for a 3-day weekend and really enjoyed the OB Hotel. It was furnished nice and everything worked, the location is incredible, across the street from the beach. We had an ocean view room with a balcony that was amazing. There are also large balconies with tables and chairs at the end, overlooking the sea that you can use and get fantastic sunsets. There are great eateries just steps away, breakfast at OB Surf Lodge next door and the greatest Fish Tacos at South Beach Bar and Grill across the street. Didn't use the car all weekend, parking is free, Starbucks is one block away. Bed was comfortable but has a 1" foam topper that slides to one side, mildly annoying but not an issue. The shower head is nice and high with decent pressure but the bathroom is a bit small, you should expect this at the beach. The toilet seat is way too small, probably the worst of the very few complaints I have. One thing I really liked was that the lobby has drinks and snacks, even ice cream sandwiches, open 24hrs. Bottom Line, We will be back and will stay at this hotel again, it was a great experience. Suggestions for the property: It would be nice to have a bigger toilet seat and maybe a very small table for the bathroom.…We stayed for a 3-day weekend and really enjoyed the OB Hotel.

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego Bay Downtown

Expedia Verified Review…

5 / 5 Excellent

I’m not sure why this place has some bad reviews but our experience was pretty great! We stayed here on 1-16-21 for just the night. We met up with my cousin and his fiancé who were already staying there.My cousin had already given me a heads up about the parking situation and recommended I get Valet parking( 40 dollars a night w/ in and outs at no extra charge). So I did that and I’m glad I did! You can let the Valet attendant know you’re on your way down from your room and they’ll get going on bringing your vehicle. So we walk in and I’m really impressed by the hotel. It looks so elegant and it has a welcoming feel. We were greeted by the Customer Service Manager Melissa. She got us into our room quickly and accommodated our request to stay on the 7th floor since my cousin and fiancé were on that same floor. Our room was clean and spacious. Our view was amazing. I wish we would’ve been able to stay there a few more nights because we loved it. They give complementary breakfast in little to-go boxes and it is very delicious. We had a little incident with a staff member there but I don’t think it should overshadow our great experience there. Melissa was very understanding of the issue and took care of us. I know why she’s the Customer Service Manager. We will definitely be coming back! …I’m not sure why this place has some bad reviews but our experience was pretty great!
