"Great location for an adult getaway—just know what to expect! ​If you’re looking for a low-fuss, no-frills stay in the heart of Oceanside, this is your spot. Don’t expect a traditional hotel lobby or a long list of amenities—it’s essentially a Bed & Breakfast style room with an attached bath. But what it lacks in standard features, it makes up for in location and vibe. ​You get prime access to incredible food, drinks, beer, a great fire pit, and relaxing garden spaces. It’s perfect for adults...

"Love the room, The roof bar the lobby bar. The back coffee can be heard from room 205 in the morning. 201 & 301 street facing. Thursday night market is awesome. The door in room 205 does not close all the way so the auto locks trigger and keeps it open."

10/10 Excellent
"Loved staying at this hotel! We are from the area, and have since moved so this was perfect because it was close to the beach, yet we could walk to get fresh bagels next door, or to Ralph's grocery store. The owner was wonderful ~ friendly and always available. They had chairs and boogie boards to borrow for the beach. The room was very clean and comfortable, and it was quiet, especially considering we were on a main road. The bathroom was very spacious and had a little table to sit and do my make-up. I would stay here again when visiting Orange County."
