Not what was advertised, way below expectations.
We booked an "ocean view" room, thinking we were getting the view in the picture of the advertised room. What we actually got was a diagonal view from a small window. The room was super small, not even a chair to sit…

Questions about Ocean Crest Motel

Does Ocean Crest Motel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Ocean Crest Motel?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Does Ocean Crest Motel have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Does Ocean Crest Motel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Ocean Crest Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Ocean Crest Motel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
