8/10 Good
"Overall the hotel is decent. The room was clean and spacious. The property is ok but could use some up-keep. Didn't care for the coffee from the machine in the lobby, it tasted like chemicals, maybe from the cleaning process."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good
"Clean, comfortable easy access location. 5 min walk to beach. 2 blocks. Directly Accross from Depot park where there is many soccer games. This is a great location to stay if you are doing the SC triathlons. Pool a bit cool and hot tub was comfortable but not hot. Jets in both hot tubs were not working. Pool area was clean and pool towels are provided. The in room shower was huge with two shower heads. Breakfast place across the street is yummy but cash only."

10/10 Excellent
"Unique, the snacks in the room are “complimentary “…sure, you’re paying for them in the long run, but it’s a totally different “feel” than places that put $5.00 bottles of water in the room. Staff extremely polite, attentive and helpful. Will stay again. Longer next time."
