Find the Cheap Oceanside Hotels

Let me start with the positive: On the plus side, the room was fine/nice. The bed and pillows were fine/nice. The bathrooms are nice. The balconies have a nice view. Even though the hotel was right by the train (all the hotels in Oceanside are), the room was well-soundproofed, and we weren't bothered by any outside noise. The only charge $32 per day for parking. The rooms have a small fridge and a microwave. But...it's a lot of money for... No valet. No restaurant. No room service. No coffee shop or espresso stand. No spa. No gift shop. The gym has 3 machines in a tiny room. There is one water station for refilling water bottles, but it doesn't seem to have filtered water (seems like you could get tap water). It's located on the 6th floor in the gym, which is not convenient, especially considering the situation with the elevators. They have a tiny area selling a few chips and drinks. But you have to pay at the front desk so if a lot of people are checking in our out this could take a long time and simply isn't worth it. There is a wine shop that is connected to the lobby. But unless you're into wine, it's not that exciting and there isn't anything in there for kids or regular folk. I hardly saw anyone in there. The elevators take forever. There are just two elevators, and only one goes to the basement parking lot. With so many people staying at the hotel, standing and waiting for elevators for a very long time is a hassle. Maybe the speed is fine when there aren't too many people there. It's an outrageous amount of money considering everything they don't have. The free breakfast is just okay. It's not great. And when there are a lot of people they run out of things very fast (even coffee) and it can take a while for them to replenish. Self-park is a reasonable price, but beware, the garage is incredibly tight, and they have wrapped every pillar in astroturf or carpet because it's obvious that more than a few people have hit the pillars). The front desk staff is okay. Some are nice, some are just working, aren't happy about it, and don't feel like helping. There is no information about what the hotel offers, where to get food, when breakfast is served, how to get to the wifi, or things to do in town. Nothing. I don't know if there was an app we were supposed to use. But no one told us anything. There is no QR code anywhere to find out more info. Even when I tried to check in just 20 minutes before 4 pm they offered me nothing. They said that check-in is guaranteed at 4 pm and then just looked at me. I explained that i was there (hi!) and wondered where to park (remember there is no valet) and that I had a lot of luggage to handle on my own. Only then did they offer that I could get a luggage cart and they could store my luggage and that I could park my car and give me a key for the garage and that I could wait on the terrace. But it was like pulling teeth. The terrace could be lovely if it had some umbrellas. But it's wa

I was beyond belief impressed with every single aspect of my 3day 2 night Birthday stay in a Deluxe Premium Suite at Oceanside Marina Suites! Upon entering the hotel, it was so stunning with views on one side of the Marina & the other side was the gorgeous pool & the Pacific Ocean just beyond that! I was greeted at the front desk by an extremely friendly & helpful agent named Monica, which started me off to a fantastic stay. I arrived early absolutely ready to wait but she surprisingly told me my room was ready, which was Awesome! As soon as I walked into my room, I was totally blown that my room had the view of the pool which led to a cove & past the the Pacific Ocean! The size of the suite was also quite large, full size brand new gas stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker & everything you need to cook & eat with! The living room was huge & it led out to the large balcony with the breathtaking view! The bathroom was updated & the shower pressure was perfect! The mattress in my room was so incredible, that at the end of my 1st day, I was going to take a nap at 6pm, & instead woke up at 11:30am the next day!! Part of this trip was to get some serious rest, & this bed was by far the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced! I’ve asked them to find out what “make” it is because I will most definitely buy the same mattress. I cannot say enough wonderful & amazing things to recommend this phenomenal hotel! I know I will always stay here when I return to Oceanside:) I would give this 10 stars!!! if I could!!

There is a covered parking lot available along with an uncovered parking lot. There are less covered spots available than uncovered spots. Also, there are two charging stations available. The staff was friendly, professional, and assisted with all matters very well. There are two elevators available that go all the 6th floor. The amenities were sufficient enough to make for a comfortable and relaxing experience. The room I stayed in was large with a kitchenette, pullout couch, and large bathroom. There were some minor issues like a bent ironing board, hair in the bathroom, and noise disturbance from the room above, but all was manageable. The location is right outside of two gates that access Camp Pendleton. Also, it is within walking distance from some good restaurants and the beach. I hope that this review is helpful with your lodging decision.

Praiseworthy service by Susan, Ryan, Marcus and team. Patty our maid service technician was also attentive throughout our stay.
