Top South Oceanside Hotel Reviews

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"very good"

West Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We were very pleasantly surprised by this property. We booked a double King room, which is super rare to find. The room was very spacious and well-appointed. The microwave, refrigerator, and coffee were appreciated. I especially liked the small touches like tongs with the ice bucket, 2 luggage racks, and a step stool in the bathroom. The cookies and milk at night were a nice touch. The hot breakfast was excellent: eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, waffles, oatmeal, etc. We will definitely stay here again!!"

Motel 6 Oceanside, CA

8/10 Good

"You get what you pay for … this was priced low and was comfy. Slightly noisy next to freeway, but we still slept well. Adequately clean. We stayed 2 nights and we would stay again as it’s a decent spot to sleep. No shampoo or conditioner in room. Maybe it was missed somehow. Toilet handle sometimes stuck and kept running. Minor inconveniences. Room 340."

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."
