positive:
Excellent location offering wonderful views
With a beachfront position that is conveniently close to downtown Saint Augustine, nearly all past guests were overjoyed with the location of the OceanView Lodge. Furthermore, and with every room containing a private balcony, the ocean views on offer are apparently fantastic in most cases.
positive:
Well-equipped and clean rooms
With a coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave a feature of all accommodations, the general opinion is that the rooms at the hotel are well-appointed with useful amenities. In addition, previous visitors have noted that the cleanliness was kept at a high standard overall.
positive:
Professional and friendly staff
Most former guests of the OceanView Lodge were complimentary when it came to the customer service that they received from the accommodation's staff. The personnel representing the hotel were often described as friendly and accommodating.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Worn in areas
Although they were well-maintained for the most part, some previous guests have claimed that the rooms at the OceanView Lodge were fairly dated and a little rough around the edges in certain areas.
negative:
Small pool with limited opening hours
Numerous former guests had an issue with the hotel's outdoor swimming pool. Not only is the pool very cramped in terms of size, but this aspect of the accommodation supposedly closes too early based on the assertion of some previous visitors.
negative:
Little to do on-site
Along with just a basic continental breakfast, the hotel only offers a pool as an on-site recreational space - something that past guests have bemoaned on occasion. Yet despite earning a reputation for being limited, most found the OceanView Lodge to be satisfactory for their needs as a simple base on the beach.
