Top California Surf Museum Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Oceanside Camp Pendleton Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff great. Would have liked to known ahead of time that the ocean view deck was closed. Otherwise no complaints at all!"

Harbor Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

MISSION PACIFIC BEACH RESORT, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property and location. The staff was professional and courteous & rooms were outstanding."

Southern California Beach Club

8/10 Good

"Condos are dated but clean and comfortable. Coffee in lobby is delicious. The only negative is the parking stalls are way too compact and small. Otherwise I love staying and will return in the future."

The Marbella

10/10 Excellent

"The location is excellent with such an awesome view! Steps from the ocean. A wonderful deck to sit and watch the sunset! With all the extra excitement you get watching things unfold in front of you with the strand. The rooms are great some with views and some not but it doesn’t matter. You hear the ocean. And everything is walkable. The manager is amazing Trever and was our hero to get our car out of the garage. Our car is too big for the garage and we squeezed in and he got us out!! He went above and beyond! We will continue to vacation there!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Oceanside Downtown

8/10 Good

"You can really tell that the owners care about their property and their guests. They regularly walked the premises, checked on things, and made sure everything was okay. I really appreciated that because it made the property feel comfortable and safe. You can tell they genuinely take pride in the place. The refrigerator they provided was also freaking amazing! It was a great size and made it really convenient to buy my own food and keep everything in the room. Overall, my stay was good. If you're staying in one of the rooms in the 200s, just be aware that there can be some outside noise. The first night there was construction nearby, which was pretty loud and made it difficult to sleep. The second night was much better, although there were some people outside revving motorcycles and loud cars. I want to be clear that none of this was the hotel's fault. Unfortunately, outside noise like that is completely out of their control. The bed was much firmer than I personally prefer, but that's definitely a matter of personal preference. Breakfast was pretty basic and could use a little improvement, but having such a great refrigerator in the room made it easy for me to grab my own food instead. Overall, I appreciated how much effort the owners put into making the property feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. There were a few things that weren't necessarily my preference, but the owners and the care they put into the property definitely left a positive impression on me."

Ramada by Wyndham Oceanside

10/10 Excellent

"Big swimming pool."

Rise Suites Oceanside

10/10 Excellent

"We had a terrific stay. This is not only my go-to in the Oceanside area but also my go-to for trips to San Diego. The location puts you about a 15 minute walk to the Coaster Train and an easy ride into downtown San Diego. The host was superb with easy communication and very helpful. The place is laid out very thoughtfully with cozy common spaces and a wonderful roof top area to relax and watch the sun set. The rooms are spacious and very well appointed with a fully functional kitchen as well. And the resort style bathroom . . . Wow. I look forward to coming back."
