The pictures you see are nothing compared to the room. Room smells like it's under construction. The floorboard and walls were cracked, holes in the walls and the peephole in the door was covered with a coffee sugar wrapper. If you're going cheap go with Motel6 this place costs more and is worse and also provides no refunds. read more

ZERO Stars! For this dump! I made reservations in advance and ended up cancelling Fri night a week before our arrival. I arrived on Sat to hear from the rude women behind the ironclad window that I called on Friday to cancel and she even said she called me back to confirm. She kept asking if I was from the church and I kept saying no, so obviously she had me mixed up with someone else. THEN! She wanted to charge me $45 more for the night . NO WAY, my boyfriend stayed in the car to protect our property, that's how shady this place is! Doors were kicked in, parking lot was so disgusting, dirty windows and extremely rude staff. Went to Best Western next door, so clean and wonderful staff. Gross place, highly recommend NOT booking here ever!! read more

It may be inexpensive but it is very disgusting. Rooms are small beds are small. Very disgusting and unsanitary. Checked in and then walked right out and made sure I got my money back. Pillows were stained, crushed roach that was killed on the wall was still hanging there, bathroom was dirty and the shower was falling apart. When you walk in the door almost hits the bed because that's how small it is. Also no ac. Pictures were also not accurate on booking.com. This place is rundown and DISGUSTING read more

No hot water hooked up to the room. let it run for 15 minutes and still freezing. complained to the front desk they said let it run longer, and that it was messed up because of "construction". also wifi didn't work, there was a signal but the back building is too far from the router. asked for a refund, they said they can't. real sketchy homeless people and drug addicts all over the parking lot too. wish i could give no stars. worst hotel of all time. stay away. read more

Worst hotel experience of my life. Poor service. Looks like it is falling apart and like it has gotten broken into a few times. The few guests whom stay there appear to be semi permanent residents and come off as sketchy to say the least. I ended up parking my car in a nearby parking lot because I didn't trust leaving it in their parking lot. There is an overpowering smell of the decaying building when you walk in the room. It smells old. There were random spots of colored paint on the blankets, mirror, and walls. The frames of the bedroom door and bathroom door were nailed back on. It appears as if someone forced their way into the room and bathroom against the occupant's will at the time of their stay. There is no air conditioning. The bathroom windows are left open in order to get some kind of ventilation. There are no blinds/curtains on the windows. The neighboring hotels have a clear view into your room and bathroom. The floor in the bathroom feels as if it is going to cave in at any moment. The sink and mirror are on opposite walls and the outlet is next to the toilet. It makes no sense and is very inconvenient. The sunshine coming in the windows makes it to where you are blinded to your reflection in the mirror unless you stand a foot away from it. In which case you can see every flaw on the surface of your skin in their magnified mirror. The shower has barely enough room to turn around in and there is no where to hang up your towel. Every time you leave the room the neighbors state at you and watch you until you disappear out of site. A few hours into my stay I had decided I would sleep with a knife under my pillow just in case.. Not too long after that I went to ask for a refund and check out. The owners seemed uninterested in my uncomfortableness and complaints. They could barely speak English and refused any kind of refund. I left very irritated. The good news is, the next hotel seemed like a palace and received the best reviews I have ever given any hotel. The extra $20-80 for a nicer hotel is well worth the money. read more

worst place ever! stupid me reserved a room by phone without even knowing this place and its surroundings paid $140 by phone when i got there omg! ugly and ghetto asf! i repeat i do not recommend this place i got so upset literally the room was ugly asf! to small no table, no remote control, no toilet paper, no soap, no towels, one pillow, refrigerator had mold, transparent curtains, sheets and covers with stains, no a/c hot asf! ghetto to its highest! i demanded my money back started arguing with the "office" if that is what they call it.. after arguing 20 minutes only refunded me half! i called police i was so disappointed at them for not wanting to refund my own money that i paid for a ditty shitty place they offer city should closed this place seriously! read more

The sheets felt unclean, had to try to turn on three different lights cause the first one only had one out of the three lightbulbs that worked and the second lamp had no bulb at all, the air was stuffy and smelt of smoke although we reserved a nonsmoking room, and the fan had a thick layer of dirt/dust. This was a "standard" room that we didnt even stay in because of the filth and possibilities of getting sick, we asked for a refund and got shown a "delux" room which is $20 more. At this point we just wanted to get the heck out of there, so we had to write a hand written note as to why we wanted a refund and wait for a call from the manager in the morning. Really sketchy place and area. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND read more

Worst motel I have ever stayed. I felt like I was staying at the Bates Motel. Filthy, stinky & dangerous ! All of my neighbors smoked and I could smell even though the door was closed. There was an ant on my bed. Fridge wasn't working, plus NO ICE MACHINE ! My child and I couldn't have cold drinks in Aug. WI-FI DID NOT WORK AT ALL !!! I will NEVER go back to this horrible place again !!!!! read more

Stay away, the room had a terrible smell, dirt on the walls and door, and it had broken furniture. Also, there were some sketchy people hanging around outside. We walked into the room, overpowered by a horrible smell walked out, and asked for a refund. They would not refund our money so I left the card and walked away. We did not stay in the room and went somewhere else. read more

I am a regular customer here, well I was. When I got to my room the floor was wet because the refrigerator was leaking. I went to grab a towel and there was none. Called to have them bring me towels and they told me to come to the front to get it because there to lazy to bring it to me. They finally brought it to me because I needed them to look at the refrigerator to. The guy looked at it and said it was "fine" the refrigerator continued to leak and ruined my food and got my clothes wet. The next day I went to the front to sop if they could possibly help me out with my inconvenience like a discount of some sort. He was so rude he left the office because he didn't want to give me a discount. So I wouldn't leave the office and I just kept knowing on the door tell he answered. Then my girl friend walks runs in, (she was sleeping when I left) saying that the clerk told her that if we don't leave he is either going to "call the cops or break every bone in my body" at this point I called the police and then he finally came to his senses and talked to me. He said he would give me a discount on my next room then when I called he said he would give me $5 off. Great motel unless you have a problem, guy don't care about there customers! read more

Traveler Beware! My cab driver warned me and I'm warning you! Before you part with your hard-earned money, check the room FIRST, before you check in and come to your own conclusion. You get what you pay for. I was on a limited budget and that's why I stayed one night. Tess and Bianca were very nice and attempted to accomodate to my many requests , however the room was not nice. In my room 122: Difficulty trying to get wireless connection UNTIL I asked/received help Initially one towel Initially no hot water until I spoke to Tess. Per Tess wait 10 minutes, I waited 15 minutes for HOT WATER! No phone/no phone service in room. Informed to use phone at gas station No light switch cover in bathroom, wires exposed Old dilapidated dirty shower/curtain Single, cracked sink, mismatched dirty faucets No closets, no chest of drawers, nothing to hang/put clothes away Dirty one black upholstered chair King size bed, so big for the room, you have to constantly squeeze yourself between wall and bed to get to the bathroom TV remote did not work, batteries removed, replaced by Tess Human? long brown caucasian hair on bottom sheet/brown blanket. Bottom sheet looked dirty/grubby No air conditioning, one ceiling fan Broken screen on window, Broken down cars for sale in parking lot Outside stairs hallways, blue, white paint stain, filthy carpet Depressed,neglected, sad hotel in a prime location that has the potential to be easily renovated/restored with BASIC care/attention and follow up with BASIC remodelling Ideal location to beach/stores..beautiful sunset, sliver of ocean view from bathroom window PS: Expedia took debit card info/so did hotel, according to Tess I will only be billed by the hotel. I will check my account to avoid any account duplication. read more

Family and I jump in the car a decided to do a mini family vacation.we ended up in Oceanside when looking for a hotel we new we would be in trouble because it was Valentines day. My husband likes to stay at the big fancy hotels I'm ok with smaller ones. We called all the hotels everything was book. We found this place one night at a dencent price the room was clean the staff was friendly. The other guest are a little sketchy. I belive I saw two prostitutes durining my one night visit. Very loud past ten in the parking lot. I feel bad for the owners of this establishment because they are so nice and accommodating . It's ok for one night but I wouldn't want to stay any longer. It's not a horrible place but not a great place either.next family road trip I'll plan it better not on Valentine's day and have a reservation at a larger hotel where it's a little more family friendly environment. read more

Where do I even begin? This place was filthy, rundown and full of police presence the entire time we stayed. We arrived after 9 pm, the first night. Upon coming back to the hotel the second night, 9 police cars were in the parking lot. The police advised us to leave ASAP. When I advised the front office I wanted to check out due to the unsafe hotel and advise of the police, she argued with me and refused to refund my money. She finally refunded me half of one nights rates, which wasn't sufficient. The BBB and anyone else I can get to help me will be advised of this place. They mention they have queen beds, they are full beds, there is no hairdryer, toiletries, and you are given one towel per guest. I honestly will take fault in choosing this place without reading reviews first. I choose this place based on price and location for a job interview. Please, please always do your research before booking. This was the most disgusting hotel in Oceanside CA. read more

The other reviews seem a bit exaggerated. I stayed here for one night with my girlfriend and infant son on a weekday. Room was clean, well kept, and all utilities worked flawlessly. There was a bit of a smoke smell, but I can look past that. Also a few unsavory characters but that is typical in Oceanside. They didn't come anywhere near us so I could care less. For the price, and location, excellent stay and would recommend. read more

I have been in and out of different living situations for a while and when I'm stressed, and have no where to go Suzanna puts my mind to peace. The Delux rooms at this hotel are beautiful, and come with everything you would need. If you are looking to bring your family to an affordable hotel, get the DELUX rooms as you will not be in the rooms at still need to be renovated (the rooms where other yelp guests have posted photos.) this hotel has been transforming their rooms for a while now. One week I was in a room that didn't have certain accommodations, and the next week it had new things. It's WORTH paying the few extra dollars FOR THE DELUX ROOMS. Working heater/AC, tv with LOTS of channels, fridge, microwave, bathtub and shower, hardwood floors, in a spacious environment. Worth the money each and every stay. After staying at almost every hotel in this area/surrounding areas, I wouldn't go anywhere else and the #1 reason is because of Suzanna at the front desk, who makes me feel not only like an important guest, but also family. I have been watching this hotel transform and if everyone would just notice that your stay would be a whole lot better. It's all about perspective. You still won't find better customer service anywhere else. I have had checkin problems at the Harbor Inn (went to check in, took my deposit, charged me for the room and pressed decline multiple times, then refused to give me my deposit back), MULTIPLE different, heinous problems at the Oceanside Inn and Suites (People breaking into rooms/lots of cops/seen multiple people OD) , and even problems with the Hyland Inn (wouldn't return left items from the room.) I have never had any issues like that at the Coast Inn, and don't see how any of those issues could ever arise here, as the staff is honest, kind, respectful, and trustworthy. They also have established new policies of try and get clean customers. They have done a great job over the last 2 months. Like I said, worth the money! Just book the right room, or call Suzanna at the front desk and she can help you book the perfect room based off of what you are looking for during your stay. She will definitely be able to help you! read more

This place is a dump. Roaches, no bathroom outlets, cigarette smell after asking for smoke free room, towels do not absorb water on body they are so thin. Room was dirty, drug sales going on, people knocking on my door , noisy, can't open windows bc people smoking out front. This place was not safe to stay. I checked out same hour and they only refunded 75 percent of money for two nights paid. I do not rec anybody to stay here. I told the lady at desk she should be ashamed to work here and they need to close the doors!!!! Disgusting!!!! read more

We were very unsatisfied and discussed with there establishment. It was dirty, nasty, disgusting, very bad smell and bums just standing around scoping the place. We felt unsafe staying there and on top of the filth. AS of the experience we had we will NEVER recommend the establishment to anyone. The only good thing that came out of this is that I got a full refund after dealing with them for about 4 hours read more

It was raining so I stopped and asked if they had a room at about 1 PM. The clerk said that they had "one room available" so I paid for a full night. Only then was I told that the room wouldn't be ready for 20 minutes. I waited and entered the room and found 1. that it had no clean towels and 2. The room heater did not work. While raining, I chased down the maid for towels and she said that she had told the front clerk that there would be no towels available until 3 PM. The front clerk never told me that. The maid offered me some laundered towels but they have stains on them. I advised her that my room heater isn't working either and the maid said that had previously been reported to the front desk too. To the maid's credit, she offered to make up another room immediately if I could accept the clean towels having stains on them. I thanked her and returned to the front desk and another employee was there who agreed to refund my money after I explained the situation. I think I was lucky that I got him as he wasn't familiar how to reverse a credit card charge as he had to phone somebody to learn. I don't think he is a regular clerk so he refunded my money without hassle or argument. I went to a Motel 6 about a block away toward town and checked in without hassle but did have to pay an extra $10 for an early check-in but a room was available with clean cheap towels and a working room heater. read more

At first my husband and I thought this motel was decent for the price although it's obvious that they also rent some of their rooms to people who otherwise couldn't get any other housing. My husband is in law enforcement and he noticed these people were hanging around outside in their rooms with multiple people than what should have been in a room with one bed. You know, shady characters. Some of these mom and pop motels like to rent rooms to people when they don't receive a lot of motel business so they rent rooms like they would an apartment. However, this was not our the biggest problem. We paid for 3 days and 2 nights and on the second day my husband and I were relaxing in the room around 1130 or 12 noon up but not ready to get the day started when there was a knock on the door. One of the owners which we didn't know was the owner at this time asked if we were checking out. Without opening the door I told her no and we weren't checking out until the following day. She told me that no we were scheduled to check out and she was going to verify that then she demanded that I open the door. So I told her no I wasn't going to open the door. Then the craziest thing happened she tried to use her master key to open the damn door! I was at the door holding the handle while this crazy b was trying to open the door. When she realized she wasn't going to get in she walked away with out another word. She didn't know that both myself and my husband were naked but she probably wouldn't have cared anyway. I immediately threw on some clothes and went to the office to report her when I found out she was the owner from the other owner which was her husband. I told him what happened but this jerk didn't even care he actually dismissed me and went back into the bowels of the office without a word or anything where they had about 5 kids because they were all hanging outside the door, so unprofessional. Anyway I walked away and saw that lady and gave her a piece of my mind about how she should have the right room first but also she just can't walk in the room call the freakin police. She realized she messed up badly but the damage was done. Both my husband and I are are fairly well traveled with us both being prior military and we have never experienced anything remotely close to this bs. Word of advice. If you decide to go to this place keep on your clothes because you never know who might try to walk in without permission. read more

I will never come back here... and I'm not a prude or anything like that but damn people coming in and out on bicycles for drugs or stuff is not cool the things you payed for in the room don't work such as lights it took me 30 mins to figure it out which ones work. Free wifi not happening and tv that set up for your use doesn't work practically turn on. I don't ask for much in life but come on get it together and there was mold also in the window sills and the room looked like it was thrown together like here you go a little trash and stuff here you go. I came to this place by myself with no one and felt unsafe and very unease. Like I said in the beginning I'm not a prude and get what I paid for but damn I've could gone to a motel 6 and got something way better and also be able to use the stuff in the room... no tv, wifi, 2 lights out of the three and stupid asses walking up on property with there drama/drugs/ what ever/ can't sit out front of your door as a girl with out being uncomfortable not cool.... read more

My daughter and I booked the room for one night because my grandson was graduating and we could walk down to the Oceanside Amphitheater and not worry about parking. When we pulled into the parking lot there were several shady characters hanging out. We went to the office which looked like something from a crime movie, the receptionist sat behind glass. The first thing my daughter asked was "is this safe?" We were told yes. The receptionist only took my ID, did not ask my car type of license place #. When we entered the room it smelled like smoke although it was supposedly a no smoking establishment. We left immediately for the graduation and did not return until 10:00. We went into the room, locked the door and heard lots of yelling from the next room, lots of swearing and banging. We called the manager and she said she would take of it but we decided we would rather not stay. Luckily we were able to go to a friends house for the night. Also, there was one bar of soap which measured about 1 inch by 1/8 inch thick. Also there was a tube of shampoo that was half empty. I only wish I had read the YELP reviews before booking this place. read more

There are seven circles of hell and Coast Inn is one of them... I'm NOT picky about places to stay, especially when all I desire to do is lay on the beach, but this particular inn is frequented by DRUG DEALERS and PROSTITUTES. I arrived at 11:00 AM on a Saturday and it was filled with women in skimpy clothes walking around the two story building in the back area. The only saving grace was the front desk attendant who was friendly and purposely put us in a room at the very front directly across from their 24/7 office/manager's suite. There are other motels in the area (i.e., Best Western, Motel 6, LaQuinta) and they were all relatively safer with little or no questionable people on their property. We came back to our room at 9 pm and there were two drug dealers at the very front stoop of the motel trying to solicit drugs. They were LITERALLY three feet away from our door and stood up to watch us walk to our room. I had to press a chair against the door to feel any sense of security. Now, this is when the real fun started... An intoxicated couple were lodging in the room next to us and got into an argument for over 6 hours. We and everyone in the nearby rooms could hear them through the paper thin walls. Obviously, we couldn't open the windows being surrounded by the drug dealers and the couple so we turned on the A/C unit. That unit is located on the wall less than 5 inches from the bed so it blows directly onto your skin. You can't change the direction. We absolutely left no meaningful belongings in the room when we went anywhere and left first thing in the morning. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND COAST INN TO ANYONE. Your lack of safety and security will challenge your need to save money! read more
