Top South Oceanside Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

10/10 Excellent

"We only wish we could have stayed longer!"

Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA - East

8/10 Good

"Cleaning staff was friendly. Room floor was dirty when we arrived like it hadn’t been mopped. The frig was a plus. Our room’s AC was not working so it did make it uncomfortable to stay in. I know it’s not their responsibility to clean up after guests pets but there was a lot of feces in the grass from pets and owners not cleaning up after them. Location is good and right next to the freeway entrance and within walking distance to restaurants. Only other downside is one parking pass so staying while in between places and having two cars, we were worried about the second car being towed. There’s no nearby parking to park off site which is what the front desk manager said to do."

The Hotel Oceanside

8/10 Good

"I didn’t know what to expect since I’m from the Bay Area and wasn’t too familiar with Oceanside, but I was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, quiet, and very peaceful, which was exactly what I needed. The location is great and very close to downtown, restaurants, and the water. Jennifer was also incredibly helpful and accommodating, which made the stay even better. For the price, I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again."
