The Hotel Oceanside

Clean and comfortable. Nice kitchenette.

I was some what disappointed that they only offered breakfast besides on the weekends even though they had a great location for it with the set up . I was also not sure what was going on with the maintainance team as they only had one operating ice machine and no vending machine operational either even though they had them .. I was happy that they had a small shop down stairs to buy some soap for Landry and a few snacks I could get a late night snack as I have a sweet tooth before bed .;) Overall I would recommend this location to friends and family as it was with in walking distance to everything Oceanside had to offer ..

The Hotel Oceanside aka THO is a small, boutique, and very reasonably priced hotel in Oceanside. I stayed there on business in 2023 and have made it my go-to place to stay whenever I'm in Oceanside (which is often). The rooms have always been clean and the staff cordial and friendly with me. Matter of fact, I've had many engaging conversations with front desk personnel (shout out to Joshua!) and Jennifer (one of the owners). What about that $200 deposit that seems to be a sticky point for folks? I asked about it on my first visit (I read about it on the reservation site before booking, so I was not surprised by it). The young lady at the front desk explained why it was implemented including sharing stories of patrons who lacked what I call 'hotel etiquette' treating the rooms as personal party pits (my description) and threatening the front desk workers issues of room damage were brought up. As I mentioned, THO is a small, boutique hotel. It is not part of a major chain and consequently does not have the infrastructure and personnel power of a large brand hotel. That said, the cleaning staff I've witnessed works hard to keep the hotel and rooms clean. Besides, I like the intimate vibe THO offers. Feels more personal and homey. I've seen a lot of negative reviews of the hotel on this and other sites, and while each experience is personal, I hope you'll give thought to this review and consider giving The Hotel Oceanside a chance it deserves. Thanks for reading and safe travels!

Our room was exceptionally clean, quiet, and comfortable. It was in a good area, closest to the Harbor, and the pier was about 1 mile away. Their sign is not that noticeable. The Hotel is directly across the street from the Welcome Center. Parking is behind the hotel. Cell service is spotty in the beach area, make sure you enter directions to the hotel before getting close to the beach. The Hotel has free wifi. Bookings needs to update the hotel description. This hotel does not serve breakfast.

I liked how clean the rooms were and how soft the towels were
