Reviews of Ocean Boulevard 4 stars

The view was outstanding and the central location was excellent. The room was suitable for the two of us and we must like it, we have been staying there of and on for over 30 years. I would reccomend it to any couple of single person wishing to travel to the area.

The units are starting to show their age. No dishwasher or vacum for cleaning, I guess we are spoiled in this modern day and age. I found the traffic on the road out front murder, I guess my life in a quiet regional suburb has spoiled me.

Pros: Beautiful view from the balcony, convenient location, secure parking garage, (when space is available), and they had a luggage trolley, (nice touch!) Cons: For us the staff were usually unavailable when we needed them, such as: 1. When someone was parked in our designated parking space (& there are no undesignated places in the parking garage) . 2. When the key provided to us does not unlock the pool area. 3. When there was an overflow alarm in the underground parking garage. Also: - There was a fly infestation, I would have killed dozens of them, but we did not want them to fumigate while we were there. - There were also many small ants in the kitchen area when we arrived. - We were also instructed that beach towels must be obtained from the office but when we want to get the beach towels, we were told no stock available, try later. - The second time, no one was in the office. When we called we were told no stock, but that we could spend our holiday washing our bath towels for re-use. - It was noisy late at night on occasion, with very loud gunshots or fireworks, and people fighting on the street out front. There are very basic amenities in the unit. There was a paring knife but it was too dull to cut anything. (I actually went out and bought a sharpener so we could sharpen & use the knife.) - The toilet leaks & runs constantly. - There is a waist height window in the shower with the main access hallway on the other side. It is clouded but still quite visible from the other side. - The provisions were the cheapest available, toilet paper so thin you could look right through it, those small round bars of soap that I think are made of lye, 4 sachets of coffee for our 5 day stay for the two of us. There is no heating or AC in the bedroom, only a ceiling fan. The entrance door does not always close properly, sometimes it needs a firm push / pull or anyone could enter at any time.

Location & cleanliness

I liked the position

I thought it was exorbitant for a two night stay. I pd $540 for the two nights and I would rate the apartment as a 2 star. There was a dreadful smell of sewage near the lifts and the odour inside the lift was unbearable. I suspect I have a drainage or sewage problem. The unit had a very strong sense of bleach that actually made me feel ill. I had two uncomfortable nights because of (a) the bleach fumes as could not open windows as on the 1st floor and anyone could climb in and (B) the pillows and bed were not very comfortable. In addition, the blankets did not smell fresh and I would suggest they be laundered. I am not a fussy person but I was expecting a quality apartment for that money. I am sorry to say but I will never stay here again nor would I recommend. U either need to reduce your prices or improve your quality. My friends stayed at Alex resort and they got a two bed for $600. It was like a palace in comparison. Sunny, on the 5th floor with lovely views front and back

The appartment was small but fine for 2 people. Location excellent for beach access and restaurants. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bed comfortable and shower good.

The balcony for Unit 5 is exposed to people coming and going and hot in the morning sun.

Wonderful location, close to the beach and cafes. Beautiful view of the ocean and loved the pool area. Super lovely staff at check in.

We had booked the room for the pull out couch but didn't seem to have it. Door between bedroom and bathroom hard to move. Need better variety with the pillows on the bed.

Very friendly and welcoming. Christine was lovely upon check-in. Very helpful. Great location.

Floor could have been a bit cleaner.

The views of the ocean were great. Close to food and entertainment.

Bathroom door did not close. Broken latch which made using the bathroom less private. One of the bathroom lights did not work.
