Negative Reviews
negative:
Parking a pricey surcharge
A valet parking service is provided by the Ocean View Hotel, which has been a source for complaint from some past visitors. Whilst there has been little in the way of grievances about the quality of the service provided, the additional charge for the valet parking was often considered too high.
negative:
Standard Wi-Fi not the best
The free Wi-Fi supplied by the hotel was criticized on occasion for its quality by previous guests. With that said, a more premium Wi-Fi service is available at a surcharge - another aspect of the accommodation that has received criticism.
negative:
Lack of facilities bring down value for money
With no on-site dining, pool or other recreational spaces, the hotel has little in the way of facilities compared to larger establishments. As a result, the lack of facilities - combined with the additional costs added on top for certain services - had various former visitors questioning whether the Ocean View Hotel was truly worth the price of staying.
