Top South Oceanside Hotel Reviews

Oceanside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Check in process was super fast and simple. The front desk woman was super nice and helpful. I'm handicap and she noticed that when we pulled up to check in. Then she came out and told us where the room was and to park in the other handicap space that was closer to our room. I greatly appreciated that! Property is very well kept. You can smell the cleanliness as soon as you walk into the room. The Privateer pizza restaurant a couple blocks away has amazing pizza. Beach Break Cafe is 1 block away and had a really great breakfast. Only a couple blocks from the beach. The price was amazing compared to everything else in the area. We would definitely stay again!"

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful time at LEGOLAND Hotel! Seeing how excited our two boys were from the moment we arrived made the whole trip so special. They absolutely loved the LEGO-themed hotel, all the fun activities, and collecting pop badges! There was always something to keep them entertained, and watching them enjoy every little detail was honestly the best part for us. We also loved having breakfast and dinner at Bricks Family Restaurant, and being so close to the park made everything much easier with two little ones. It was such a fun, memorable family getaway, and we made so many sweet memories together. Our boys are already asking when we can go back!"

Hyatt Place San Diego/Vista-Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"Staff was very nice. Bathroom had a bit of a mold issue. Couldn’t see it but could smell it. Property was under construction so outside our room was a bunch of old mattresses. But overall the bed was comfortable the room was spacious. Breakfast was a little later in the morning so we had to eat once we got back from my son’s early morning game. But the food was good."
