    Terrible. We arrived at approximately 6pm to check in and obtain a key. We then went directly to have dinner and some shopping before actually entering the room. We returned at roughly 9pm and When approaching the room we noticed the window was broken. Upon entering the room we discovered an odd odor and cobwebs in the doorway of the bathroom and the baseboard and walls with holes in them as well as possible mold. I've attached pictures as well for reference. I chose not to have my wife and children stay in the room and immediately returned to the front office to return the key advised the representative of the findings and requested a refund. She did not seem at all surprised of the description of the state of the room and simply advised that only the manager could authorize a refund and she wouldn't be available until Monday. I requested that she contact the manager right then and there and was declined and told I would have to wait and call on Monday. Left and went to stay in a different hotel. I refuse to pay for this reservation as the accommodations were not acceptable.

    Nasty wet towel not from us

    I would leave negative stars if I could but I can't. It's so nasty. There was brown stains on the blankets (looked like poop tbh) vomit in the trash can, Stains on all the lamps, hairs in the bed and counter tops, cigarette burns on the shower curtain and a wet towel on the bathroom sink. Im putting pics to prove the nastiness. I went and got a refund cause I couldn't stay there for the next 4 days.

    This is hands down the most disgusting hotel I've ever stayed in. The room just looks very dirty. The walls are dirty and full of holes. The room smells really bad. The couch was so disgusting that they actually put a sheet over it to make it usable. The towels were dirty and had holes in them and there was no hot water. There was a homeless guy digging in the dumpster just outside the room and another guy selling dope in the parking lot. If I hadn't paid in advance and had anywhere else I could go at 11 o'clock at night when I got here I would have hightailed it out of here. This place should really be condemned and leveled.

    NEVER EVER again. This place is not only falling apart but disgustingly dirty. We only stayed one night, we had no hot water, no towels, only one of the lamps had a lightbulb, the sink came apart (yes you read that right.. it came completely apart) and there was stains all over the walls. When we brought the owner to look at the sink he was completely rude and refused to do anything about it. I can't believe this place is open, the health department needs to make a visit and shut this crap hole down because it's clear the owners don't plan on doing anything about well.. anything. I should have read the reviews before I booked.

    This is a filthy, seedy, dingy motel. Pay more money and stay elsewhere. The staircase is rickety and I think they rent by the hour here. The rooms are horribly renovated. It's all mismatched furniture. Walls and outlets are dirty. No air-conditioning, only fans. And they are overpriced for what they charge...way overpriced!!! Take out a loan, borrow from a relative if you need to, to stay at any place but here. See my pictures.

    Disgusting

    I created a Yelp account just to give this place a bad review. Absolute worst place I've ever stayed. We spent less then an hour in the room before we couldn't take it any more. The stale cigarette smoke in the room was so strong it was burning our eyes and making it difficult to breath. The floor was coming up off of the ground, the drywall had holes in it, there were exposed pipes and it looked like there was mold around the toilet. The parking lot seemed to be full of "regulars" that made it feel very unsafe. I didn't even bother asking for a refund after the receptionist asked "is it even really that bad?". I'll dispute with my credit card company on Monday.

    The lock for the door

    If I could give less than 1 star I absolutely would. The lock to the door is taped on using a plastic knife, the door jams are all busted, the shower head has a hole around it, the chair in our room was filthy dirty, the tv screen was broken, there was one decent bed & one crappy bed. There wasn't an air conditioner as in other photos, just a ceiling fan. There are holes in the walls that have been patched terribly. There isn't daily house keeping, not ice machine for guests, I could keep going

    Front of the Oceanside Inn

    Long story short, my family and I were looking for a motel that was near the beach and low priced. We usually came across a couple of good motels like this in the past, but the Coast Inn was far beyond from being considered a good motel. As the office may seem somewhat welcoming, the staff and I mean the entire staff could literally care less for any of the guests comfort or their needs. 1. The Area - As we look around, we noticed some sketchy individuals who seemed to be up to no good around the motel they even wandered around the property for countless minutes without even being noticed by the people who run the place. 2. The Office - Very friendly owner we were talking to for about maybe seven minutes, this gave us the idea that this motel might not be so bad even though what it looked like on the outside. During our stay, there is another lady and a gentlemen who usually ran the front desk during night time or afternoon hours. The guy seemed nice but the second lady who I encountered wasn't being as friendly as I was to her. Talk about being unkind and disrespectful. 3. Wi-Fi - This day in age, pretty much everyone NEEDS TO HAVE INTERNET ACCESS! Another slap on the head moment, their Wi-Fi DOES NOT WORK! As we stayed for four days, we could not get a single person to let us know what was going on with the wi-fi. I was told almost everyday during our stay that it was in the process of being fixed or that they would restart their router/modem. I even overheard two guests saying that they will be packing up their bags as soon as possible after finding out that the wi-fi was complete bogus. If you are the person that relies on wi-fi as much as I do, avoid this place AT ALL COSTS! 4. Our Room - As we were speaking to the women who owns the place, we soon learned that the first room we were going to stay in had NO AIR CONDITIONING! Only a ceiling fan and some windows. As another individual in my family pointed out (during the conversation after the discussion of no a.c. in the room) the terrible review I gave another motel that we stayed in just about five minutes away, the women immediately switched gears and upgraded our room to one that had working A.C. free of charge. As we proceed to our room (Room 120) they had these card sensor readers to get the door unlocked which was pretty cool until a day later it stopped reading our cards correctly and I had to wait approximately 4 minutes to get one new card. Anyways, back to the room entrance, it only took me two seconds to realize that I should just go down to get my money back. Well, it was too late for that, might as well just work with it! The "vinyl wood flooring" that was inside was already starting to just come apart. A hole in the wall, the size of a golfball near the night stand was present. Hard to move inside the room because the end of the bed and the wall were so close to each other you had to actually turn sideways in order to get through. Beds were also somewhat uncomfortable. Now the bathroom... Let's put it this way, buy a mirror, iron, and a hair dryer because these are not included. You do get an okay view of the ocean from the two windows inside the bathroom, but look down directly in the back of the motel's property and you will have to just close your eyes and the window, eye sore of trash. Shower was okay also, but be sure to pack EXTRA towels, which brings me on to a better part of this motel. 5. Housekeeping / Maid Service - You're better off bringing a lot of towels with you before checking into this motel. Oh and don't forget the toilet paper! So, we ran out of toilet paper on our second day of staying here and we asked the front desk for some more toilet paper and bathroom towels at around 8:15 AM. The second lady who doesn't own it but is probably just a front desk office worker or a manger said that the maid will get us some within a few minutes if not then an hour. We then depart to the beach at around 9:10 AM and come back at 4:30 PM, where's the toilet paper? Where's the towels we requested 7 hours ago? I then had to look for a maid who was more nicer than the front desk individual for more of those items, she said she would give them to us after she finished cleaning a room. About 20 minutes later she arrived with two rounds of toilet paper and a fresh batch of clean towels. So we needed more towels on the third day and the situation replays itself! 6. People Live Here?!? - I may be wrong on this one but if you look to the left side of the property room numbers 1-5 or 1-6 you can clearly and possibly see that there are actual people living on the property. Almost every night there are about 4 or more sketchy people who enter the property and talk to the people that live on the left side of the motel. Try avoid sitting or standing outside your room during night time hours and always watch your vehicle. To conclude, be aware of your surroundings and your loved ones. AVOID this place if you have children!

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.

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.

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.
