Nice, little hotel right by the foot path to the beach. You can tell this is an older hotel, but it has been completely redone and is well maintained. It still has the quaint feel of a classic beach hotel.

10/10 Excellent

Nice quiet room, ok bathroom. Steps from the beach! 5-10 minutes walk to restaurants. You get an assigned parking spot some of which can be a little challenging to get in. Will stay again.
Dmitry, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in the ocean front king room with a private porch/hot tub. The property was well maintained and in close distance to everything. The room was beautiful with a gorgeous view of the ocean and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay!
Julie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This motel is in the perfect location. It is less than a 10 minute walk to the pier. Motel is right on the beach. Renovated and looks exactly like the pictures.

All of the staff were super friendly and accommodating including the owner JJ. The room and facilities were super clean and we loved the path with direct access to the beach! We will definitely stay here again! Thanks JJ & Staff! Liz and Denise Somerville, MA
Denise M, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

One of the nicer hotels on the beach. Rooms look renovated and updated. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Overall a nice place to stay. If I had to nitpick, my one suggestion would be to place families with children on the bottom floor as opposed to the top so those people who want to sleep in a little later aren’t woken up early in the morning by children slamming doors and running up and down the hallways upstairs
Heather, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Right on the beach and very peaceful.
Gaylen, 1-night trip

Our second stay there, great place to stay, very clean and friendly staff.
Jen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It was very clean. Room clean. What I didn't like was the size of the parking lot. The whole property was a tight squeeze. The way staff watched every move you made.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was our first time at OOB and we will be coming back! The hotel check in was easy and Shirley made our stay exceptional. The location couldn’t be any better. On the beautiful and uncrowded beach, quiet except for the occasional train across the street, and walking distance from all the activities. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean: our room, the heated pool, and the surrounding areas. The only suggestion we have are the beds are not very comfortable. Very clean and were given lots of pillows but the frames and mattresses weren’t great (very flimsy).
Megan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place, 2 minutes from the beach, short stay but loved it!
Carol, 1-night trip

The people who stayed there were so friendly.
Nancie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Every person working at the property was kind and efficient. The room, a "king with ocean view, first or second floor" was small but adequate. The bathroom was tiny but adequate. My room was on the second floor, and the view was good. If it had been on the first floor, the view would not have been good. The location is excellent, and beach access could not have been better. I would definitely book this experience again.
Mary Ellen, 2-night trip

We enjoyed our stay and would consider staying again
