    Breakfast Room
    Harold S.

    This place is your fairly typical Best Western. It was neat and clean, but certainly nothing special. I thought it was a perfectly acceptable place to spend the night. I was able to snag a fairly good room rate for the night, so in all fairness I think you have to rate the place in relation to how much you paid for the room. Obviously, this is no Marriott or Hilton, but it's also a lot cheaper. So you get what you pay for.

    Cute style and decor - very clean

    Clean, well run establishment, with many impressive appreciation awards from military. For some reason, I missed it the first time around as there are several hotels in a cluster at the intersection. They accommodated us in the middle of the night, after visiting a family member in the hospital. They were considerate and checked the room personally before checking us in to make sure it was good. We felt safe staying here, even though the area looked a little rough at night. The location was close to everything one could need and nearby beaches and plenty of shopping. And a short drive to Carlsbad. The bed was firm but adequate and we slept well. The room was clean, and the grounds well maintained. There are pretty seaside scenes by each room number. We loved the generous, quality hot breakfast. The attendant was professional and made sure everything was filled. The tables were clean and the food tasted delicious. The coffee was great too. And they had plenty of fresh, great tasting decaf and juice. We were looking for a clean, accessible, safe, affordable place to stay, and we were very pleased we found this gem! Thank you, BWPOceanside for your courteous and kind service and for making us feel at home! We will be back.

    This was a very nice stay. We wanted to be on the ocean, but this hotel is about 2 blocks up. When I went to check in, the attendant Tobias, at the front desk moved us to a room "with a view"! We could see the ocean off a ways. Tobias was so accommodating; and in more ways than one; he was Just downright friendly. We forgot a few things and he made sure we were good. He seemed to be that way with everyone. Around the hotel: There's a clean, nice sparkling little pool outside. In our room things were cozy, yet a bit small. The beds were doable, not the best but very clean. There was was a small gym that was functional. What is more, I loved the two sitting rooms with large TVs. But we especially loved the fire pit. We always travel with our largest iPad and mini speaker. We went and got free coffee and hot chocolate (Yep free!!! With creamers I n large fresh dispensers that was actually good!!!) So, we went outside twice, set things up and enjoyed a movie in the cool night air with a toasty fire and each other. We even moved inside to one of the sitting rooms and chatted for a bit. Just helped with spaciousness. We would certainly come back if we were to return to Oceanside.

    Stay away from this place. Management is clueless, and doesn't care one iota about the guest experience. We booked two nights and arrived later in the evening, so we checked in and went out to dinner. After returning and going to bed my wife was bitten by what she thought was a spider. She turned on the light and it was a bed bug. We called the front desk and they said they couldn't do anything for us but bring us new sheets. Never mind replacing them, they just dropped them off at the door. We checked the second bed and moved there since everything in the area was sold out, but more bed bugs found their way out. Not sure if they were in the headboard, or where, but they are there. Left message for manager to call us, never got back to us and was never in when we stopped at front desk. After checking out we asked that he call us, never called, so we escalated with Priceline and manager said they checked and there was no sign of bedbugs so he denied any refund or fee adjustment. Submitted photos and video and waiting for results, but stay away from this dump. Go to Carlsbad and stay at a nicer place. This place stinks.

    Me and my family (5 kids) drove from SF to oceanside. We checked in on Sunday with 2 rooms. Yesterday we went to visit family at 530pm. When we got back around 1030pm one of our rooms was opened. We discovered someone had come in, took a shower, used all my daughters shampoo , conditioner and toothbrush. They disposed of a dirty pair of pants in the trash and underwear. They then went through my son's bag and took some of his clothes. When reported to the front desk I was treated as a liar. They told me they searched the camera footage and told me no one entered my room. When asked how did dirty clothes get put in my room they said "I don't know- you tell me." He had no sympathy or empathy that me and my children were just violated. I said I wanted to leave and requested a refund. Our trip has 2 days left and booking a new hotel is very costly last minute for such a large family. He refused. He would refund me 2 days. I explained how disappointed I was with this customer service experience and asked to speak to someone in a higher leadership role and he said no. He continued to say this situation didn't happen. After going back and forth he then proceeded to tell me he was "evicting me" and my family. After we had our property stolen. I called the police and filed a police report. Obviously it was challenging to find a new hotel with such short notice. I've attached a screen shot proof of him lying to hotels.com stating they did not see anything on the camera. About 2 hours later the police called me to confirm they DID find the person on the camera entering our room and taking our property at around 730pm. We left at 530pm. I thought he said he looked at the cameras for hours? This shows this place is dangerous, no one is paying attention to strangers and the fact the manager is a liar and would try to cover this up shows what type of property this is. Do not stay here. The rooms are old and outdated and have a smell, and they clearly do not care about you and your family. This trip has now cost me double with having to change the booking and my kids are traumatized. Be aware!!

We enjoyed it and will probably make this one of the primary places we stay now. Parking is reserved which is wonderful. We were worried because we were checking in on a Thursday which is Sunset Market but even with that the parking wasn't an issue. The check in process was a little odd because you aren't really sure how to get to your room until you figure out where the elevator is but once you get the door code down and know where to go it's super easy. The room was clean and comfortable. I liked that it had the attached coffee shop and the Oceanside location of Stone.

Even the plants were a great addition to make everything come together. A couple things that I thought were a bit weird in the room specifically was the distance between the faucet and the sink were pretty close and the parking is about 2 blocks away, but its not a bad walk AND its specific to your room number which is really nice. I kind of wish the tv swivel towards the bed. Communication between the hotel was great. They assign rooms to you ahead of time and they text you when it's ready. I highly recommend staying at this hotel. 10/10

The staff is very kind and diligent, it made a good impression. I had a room with two queen beds (spacious) with a nice view of the pool area. The room and bathroom isn't the newest in aesthetic, but it got the job done. The main pain points for me was the room lighting (one side was significantly dimmer than the other with all lights on) and the bed blankets (it was oddly arranged and extremely uncomfortable). In short, I didn't have the best sleep. Parking is $7 - this was something I truly thought could have been free, as there were plenty of spaces available.

We had to get ice to keep yogurt cold. Parking is $7 per night and it just seems like an unnecessary uncharge. Member perks were nice. We received two waters, $20 food credit and an additional hour to checkout. When we requested late checkout, it was initially denied and we were told housekeeping had 130 rooms to turnover so late checkout wasn't an option. He then asked how much time I needed and we said 1pm and that's when he said oh that's fine. The pool area and jacuzzi didn't look well kept. The food at the café was pretty good. We ordered French toast (10/10), breakfast burrito (a bit dry 7/10), breakfast bowl (8/10), yogurt, bagel, coffee cake. Prices were higher than expected but the credit helped.

Typically when you go to places in great locations with amazing views, the food doesn't measure up. That is not the case here. The service overall was top notch. The hostess accommodated us despite being late for our reservation and we were able to grab a cozy table by the ocean. We really enjoyed Austin, our server, as well. I always forget how incredibly fresh the food is in California until I get here. Each dish we ordered was outstanding - unique preparation and great flavors. We loved the oysters, whipped feta, artichokes, and mushrooms. The Albariño was crisp and delicious as well. Would absolutely recommend.

The staff were warm, helpful, and even upgraded our room as part of the AMEX perk when available, which I appreciated. Now for the room. The view of the ocean and boardwalk was beautiful, but the room itself felt very average. The mattress was uncomfortable, and there's no bathtub, just a shower. Even the robes felt cheap and thin. For a four-star hotel, referred to as a Fine Resorts hotel, I expected more. As far as amenities, I didn't check out the fitness center, but an employee mentioned the sister property has the better gym. You can use amenities at both locations, but there aren't many dining options here. The rooftop bar is cute with a relaxed vibe, and I've been to Valle for my birthday before, which was fantastic. But for the AMEX-included breakfast, you have to go to the sister resort, which isn't really the atmosphere I want when I book a staycation. I do have to say the blackout curtains were great. They worked perfectly. Checkout was where things went downhill. Around 10 a.m., housekeeping knocked. I put up the Do Not Disturb sign and let them know we had a 4 p.m. checkout. Not long after, someone else knocked. I told them the same thing. Then a third knock. At that point, it was frustrating. The team really needs to pay closer attention to the DND sign and the fact that AMEX guests have confirmed late checkout. When I went downstairs to check out, they said they'd email my receipt, but it never arrived. Overall, the hotel is just okay. The Michelin-star restaurant is the standout, but outside of that, there aren't many food options, not a lot of amenities, and the energy is extremely quiet. If you're planning a staycation, I wouldn't recommend it. You'll end up needing to leave the property to find anything lively or interesting.
