Clean and comfortable. Nice kitchenette.

We were on the second floor. The noise across the hall of constant slamming doors and screaming kids 10 o'clock at night 2 of the 3 nights we stayed there. The floor above sounded like people were running and jumping. Maybe in the future put families on the ground floor.

The room was very clean and daily maid service was wonderful!!! They did a fantastic job.

Front desk clerk was rude on arrival. I made a complaint. The ATM in the lobby was out of service yet they demanded a $200 CASH deposit. Vending machines were out of order. No breakfast.

The Hotel Oceanside aka THO is a small, boutique, and very reasonably priced hotel in Oceanside. I stayed there on business in 2023 and have made it my go-to place to stay whenever I'm in Oceanside (which is often). The rooms have always been clean and the staff cordial and friendly with me. Matter of fact, I've had many engaging conversations with front desk personnel (shout out to Joshua!) and Jennifer (one of the owners). What about that $200 deposit that seems to be a sticky point for folks? I asked about it on my first visit (I read about it on the reservation site before booking, so I was not surprised by it). The young lady at the front desk explained why it was implemented including sharing stories of patrons who lacked what I call 'hotel etiquette' treating the rooms as personal party pits (my description) and threatening the front desk workers issues of room damage were brought up. As I mentioned, THO is a small, boutique hotel. It is not part of a major chain and consequently does not have the infrastructure and personnel power of a large brand hotel. That said, the cleaning staff I've witnessed works hard to keep the hotel and rooms clean. Besides, I like the intimate vibe THO offers. Feels more personal and homey. I've seen a lot of negative reviews of the hotel on this and other sites, and while each experience is personal, I hope you'll give thought to this review and consider giving The Hotel Oceanside a chance it deserves. Thanks for reading and safe travels!

I liked how clean the rooms were and how soft the towels were

I didn't like how the lobby was a mess

Very close to the beach, the rooms were big and the bed was comfortable!

Seems like there going through a little bit of construction so all ways to enter or exit we’re only through the front. Our room was located in the back towards where we parked but since u could only enter/ exit through the front we had to walk all the way to the front then to the back again. Also the parking lot is extremely small not good for suvs at all. For my suv to get out we had to zigzag to not hit other cars.

Proximity of the hotel to downtown area was very convenient. Area felt very safe so leaving car in parking lot to explore on foot was great. Plenty of fast food restaurants near by late night arrival/midnight snack. The women at reception when we checked in was very friendly and helpful with our check-in and provided us with a map of the area for places to see and things to do. Place is also VERY dog friendly.

Restroom could use a bit more of a deep cleaning but otherwise the room/bedding/towels were free of any stains.

room is clean

the young Spanish lady not friendly and a bit of an attitude.

Super close to the Oceanside Pier! I stayed in a room with a King Bed, which was kept pretty clean! The free parking is a plus in Oceanside as well.

I was given a WiFi password, but I don't think the hotel activated my router or anything since I was only staying for one night. The TV didn't work either. Not anything against the hotel, but the parking entrance has a massive dip that WILL scratch your front bumper when you enter or exit no matter how slow you go.

Very good location.

Seems to be undergoing some renovation. The room was very clean, but the fridge needed to be updated - wasn’t as cold as it should be and was rusted on the bottom left corner. For $200 a night, it would mean a lot to the customer if they felt like the facility had their best interests in mind.

The location was very close to the south gate of Camp Pendleton. Unfortunately my Marine was at the north end of the camp (which is the size of Rhode Island). If you're booking for your Marine make sure you're in the correct town:)

2 negatives- 1. When pulling in my rental car bottomed out. I quickly learned that I had to go in and out at an angle, almost sideways, because the driveway has such a deep dip. 2. There was a slight damp smell in the room. It was visually clean, just smelled a bit old.
