An update is needed
Ocean Gate Inn seriously needs some attention. The exterior is pretty dirty and the patio furniture is dusty and past its best. The interior too, needs refurbishing as it feels terribly old and not very clean. The decor is very tired and the elevators are outdated as well. The bathrooms need some love. Many of the showers are leaky and their curtains are moldy.

It can be loud
The walls at this hotel seem very thin. You'll be able to hear people in other parts of the building and, what's more, the street outside is noisy. You'll be disturbed by the traffic sounds and by people walking past. If you are a light sleeper, be sure to bring your earplugs.

Not much of an outlook
While several guestrooms offer great views, others aren't so good. You might be disappointed with the vista from your balcony.
