Saipan Ocean View Hotel

Saipan

I stayed here years ago and it was rundown and not that great.  I just stayed again (june 2019) and it has improved some things.

pros: location, room wifi, room size
cons: weak a/c, took several hours to cool the room, hard beds, no english tv cable channels..but thats ok with the wifi and a laptop.

everything was clean and the staff really nice.  the breakfest isnt that great..8 US$ for a ham cheese omlette and 2 toast.

also, there is a hotel being built right in front of it so the view is gone on the one wing.

i would stay again  though.

nicer than the last time

Not impressed in the least.  I will start by saying that the staff was very nice and accommodating to he best of their ability and elevator was fast (there's only six floors), everything else, blaaaaah.  The beds were like sleeping on a tile floor, clearly Chinese owned and only Chinese channels on TV except one BBC like channel in English.  Carpeted floors felt gross, bathroom was clean but very dimly lit so it made it feel grimy.  The electrical (lights, etc) were run by inserting your card in a slot on the wall a somewhat common feature, but this included the air conditioning, so i would come back to a hot room and have to wait for it to cool off.  The chairs were too low to be able to actually do work on your computer at the 'desk' without your shoulders hunched up to your ears.  The balcony had a decent view of the ocean and potentially great sunset views, although, I wasn't in my room at those times, nor was their a chair to sit out of the balcony and enjoy the view.  The sole reason I chose this hotel over others was because it had a pool, but of course it was closed for repairs the entire stay.  The thing that annoyed me most was the lack of a simple microwave that I could use to heat up a lunch or dinner.  I asked if they staff had one to heat their own food they could let me use... nope.  The only one was in the restaurant that closed everyday at 11am.  I almost felt bad for the staff no microwave and a chirping noise that lobby surveillance camera made every 2 mins

Off my list for sure

The hotel room was prepaid, however, they tried to say they had no rooms available. When we did get a room, it had been condemned per the maintenance personnel. There were no beds only box springs (I kid you not!). Nothing worked, not the lights, door lock, etc. The room was filthy and had not been cleaned. This hotel should be shut down.

Run away as fast as you can!

it is so clean and it so awesome.it is close to Garapan so we could visit them all!!
the owner is so kind and they take me to the tour.it was my best trip ever!
if I go to saipan again, I would go to ocean ville again.

ville

Beds are box springs, with no mattresses, so you're sleeping on a board.  Electricity goes out, including the refrigerator, when you leave the room.  "Hot" water was lukewarm at best.  Noise from the club below filtered through all night long.

Absolutely horrible

OMG! I can honestly say I've never seen anything like this place. It was a horrible experience and I am so glad it was only for one night. I must say that the front desk gals were quite pleasant tho. I would NOT RECOMMEND anyone too stay here. They are under construction and when I asked when it would be over the front desk responded "never". It was super hot. There was an inch of dust on my air conditioner. The beds are VERY HARD.  Not as in a form bed but like sleeping on a board. Was happy to leave. Never again!

Run...don't stop.

A smaller hotel in a good position close to the Galleria shopping centre and other shops and restaurants etc. in Garapan.  The outside looked tired as we arrived and the reception area did little to impress. The room was clean but all the fittings old and worn. The worst thing was the bathroom. The shower over the bath was a hand held shower only and the pipe leaked so badly the bathroom floor was flooded every time it was used. 

The swimming pool was clean but small. 

The restaurant offers breakfast and lunch but after one try of the breakfast we did not return; quite the worst we have experienced. One greasy sausage, one small bowl of rice soup, one appallingly tasting boiled egg, a slice of cheap very sugary white bread and one quarter orange. The rice soup was OK and the orange was fine, the rest was very poor. You could pay an extra $7.5 for some choice but we did not risk it! We found a nearby shop and bought some fresher food to create our own breakfasts. 

We considered leaving and finding a better hotel but as  we had three days only and the weather was fine, we spent very little time in the hotel so we survived.

Exploring the rest of the hotel we discovered that the rear covered entrance and parking area were stacked with rolls of carpets and other building materials. Perhaps a refurbishment is on the cards? The hotel needs it.

Position Good but Needs Updating

The receptionists were very friendly and always greeted you with a smile on the way in. The internet connection was very slow and could only be reached on the main lobby floor not the room. The A/C was very cold and the location was great! But the overall condition of the hotel needed some work and it was not in view of the ocean as the name suggests. There is a pool but it closes early and there are no lights at night. The bottom line is, this is a good hotel to stay in if you are on a budget and want to be close to the action and the beach. It was just down the street from the weekly night market on Thursday. So overall, I was satisfied with the hotel, but it would not be my first choice.

An Economy Hotel

Had an opportunity to visit Saipan for a 3day conference.  Checked the website for a nice hotel.   Saipan Oceanview looked good on-line.  And that's it.   Room was stuffy.  Small kitchen that only had a sink and a frige.  Turned the water on to wash the sink and whoa....dirty running water.  Luckily the shower had clean water,   Bed was hard.  Bedsheets were actually tablecloths.  I know. I have the like at home.  Couldn't sleep.  Noisy neighbors.  Complained to front desk that took hours to resolve.   Internet was not available in all rooms as advertised.  Was told I had to come down to the lobby for internet usage.  Asked for iron----none available.  Never again.

Saipan Oceanview Hotel

This is Saipan so don't expect 5 star. The fridge was loud (had to unplug it), bed was hard as a rock, wifi worked and the pool was good.
