Oceanside Spa Hotels

My husband and I have been staying in this hotel once or twice a year for the last 15 years. In early September 2023, we had a room overlooking the parking lot/harbor slips. We stayed for three nights. The hotel has no air conditioning. The weekend was exceptionally hot so we had a fan in the room which was very dirty and loud. The couch and carpet in the entire unit was filthy and stunk like urine, beer and cigarettes. The living room had no lamp. We relied on the overhead, outdated, ceiling fixture over the dining table for light. The bedroom made you feel you were in prison. All walls and doors were stark white and not one piece of artwork on any wall. The bathroom was dirty and the shower/bathtub had black mold in the calking. The drawers and cabinets had spider webs in them. The hairdryer wall unit had broken off of the wall and was shoved in a drawer not reinstalled. There were no fire sprinklers or carbon monoxide alarm fixtures. There appeared to be one smoke alarm on the hall wall (not on the ceiling ?). Don’t know if it was working. We lived nearby in Carlsbad for years so we come back to this area often. We have seen a steady decline of this property over the last four or five years. We were disappointed to see just how far down it has slipped. We will not be returning. It was a total waste of our hard earned dollars. They charge a high rate for such a low quality room ……. hardly a “suite”.

I absolutely loved our stay here, we would most definitely book at this hotel again! We had amazing service from the time we checked in to the time we checked out! The housekeepers were great along with the breakfast employees. The breakfast was DELICIOUS!! They had tons of options which was great considering we had 4 kids ranging there ages of 5-13 and they are all very picky eaters and they were even able to enjoy their breakfast!! Also, the breakfast place was clean the entire time along with the floor, the employees would clean the tables and counters non-stop and replace the food that had gotten low so there would be enough for everyone to enjoy. Plus our girls raved about the waffles here, they wanted to take home the batter lol! 10/10

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!!

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

He is a hotel chain. The front of the hotel is the same, but the location is not the same, so there are Chinese services, the front desk service is also very good breakfast is good, the rooms are very similar, very standard. Ah, if you are going to travel, if you are going out to travel, it is your first choice to take your children out to play.

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

Simple breakfast, complete surrounding facilities, large parking lot, suitable for Lego Block Park
