Reviews for Harbor Inn & Suites Oceanside
Review 1:The hotel was stinky, there was a big gap on the bottom of the door so we had to put pillows to stop the cold air from coming in and the noise from the fwy kept us up at night. the bed was very hard and the sheets were very worn out. They had cheap shampoo and soap too.
Review 2:the location was the best part of the hotel.
Review 3:General manager was very rude. The pictures online of the rooms are much nicer then in person. I was very disappointed I spent $100 on that junk of a place and when I didn't want to stay there once I saw the room the manager refused to cancel my reservation and refund my money. I did not feel safe in that area. I saw a lot of drug addicts in the room next to me.
Review 4:I wish there was a couch or love seat or easy chair. Someplace to sit and relax after a day of play. Breakfast could have been better. A place for my boy(dog) to go do his business would be great. A better shower head.
Review 5:Loved the bed. I like a very ferm bed.
Review 6:Overall its a very pleasant place to stay!
Review 7:Staff is very accomadating, very friendly. Nice place. About a block to the beach. Nice sunny patio area. Breakfast...yumm yumm.
Review 8:Location was perfect for the price. The continental breakfast was a joke. Loaf of bread, gallon of milk and tang juice. The room was clean. It was nice to have a separate bedroom for the LO. Easy check in staff was friendly.
Review 9:Staff doesn't like to talk much
Review 10:Close to beach, nice bed , a little squeaky though if your worried about keeping neighbors up, nice price for weekend
Review 11:Little bit noisy at night, seems like I could hear the people next door too much.
Review 12:Short walk to the beach, older hotel but fairly well maintained. Good setup with second bed in a smaller room.
Review 13:The rooms were dirty. The sheets had holes in them the curtains had burn holes in them. The couch looks like they found it in an alley and it smelled. The room was dark. Just not a good place.
Review 14:It is close to legoland and shopping.
Review 15:It sits right next to the interstate so it was noisy all night long. The air conditioner didn't blow super cold air so it ran all night which did help drown out the hyway noises. The office are was filthy which is where the food was for breakfast - needless to say we didn't eat. We thought we would at least grab a cup of coffee but at 8:30am there wasn't any made. The exterior walkways - both floors - were decorated with flower pots overflowing with cigarette butts which makes the whole place smell like an ashtray. Overall not a great place and should have read a few more reviews to make it past "friends and family" to people who obviously stayed in the same place we did.
Review 16:I'm struggling to come up with something that stood out as "liked". The person at the desk was nice enough. The bedding was clean and the bed in one room was comfortable.
Review 17:OUTSIDE OF HOTEL WAS NOT THAT NICE....LOOKED A BIT RUN DOWN...THE DOORS YOU HAD TO SLAM TO CLOSE SO ALL NIGHT YOU WOULD HEAR DOORS SLAMMING.
Review 18:THE ROOMS WERE NICE FOR THE OLDER HOTEL
Review 19:There is not someone in the office at all times so when we checked out had to slide the key through a hole in the window.. Also the people who work there are behind glass making it very impersonable and the floor was sticky and location really sucked rite next to freeway. But in a pinch not too bad
Review 20:Close to beach
Review 21:The rooms were smaller than we originally thought. The pictures on this sight are a bit deceiving. The area was not the best and parking can be a pain.
Review 22:The rooms were clean and look as if they were recently remodeled. The front desk staff were very pleasant.
Review 23:Small parking lot. No. Smoking rooms. Next door smoking in his room and out side of his room. We are a non smoking family. Did not care for that. Was pretty dirty Walking up the stairs. Office was like 100 degrees. Breakfast was super limited. Are out all 3 mornings.
Review 24:Easy location.
Review 25:Very old, outdated..would never consider eating the 'free breakfast' as the room it was in didnt appear to be clean. Staff was mediocre, nice but a bit standoffish.
Review 26:Location. Though some shady ppl were around, it was close to pier and beach, and freeway.
Review 27:This hotel was beyond dirty. There was literally dried blood on the curtains and a Smart Water bottle filled with what looked like urine under the bed whee our kids slept. I have pictures. It was atrocious and I STRONGLY recommend you avoid the facility.
Review 28:The staff was friendly.
Review 29:Air conditioning didn't work, very noisy location, lots of highway noise, and Very, very dirty rooms & grounds as well. Not very well kept. Run down & beat up property!
Review 30:Nothing at all!!!
Review 31:family of 6 stuck in a room with 2 double beds. not sure who's fault that was cause i made the reservations with 6 people. my youngest who is 11, 5 feet and 135 lbs. slept with my husband and I while my 15 yr old got a free rollaway which was uncomfortable for his 5'10" 195lb frame. No other rooms available that night. I assumed we were getting a suite with 2 double beds and a fold out couch, but on the hotel's computer they had us down for 4 people and on my confirmation sheet I had 6 people.
Review 32:location
Review 33:I was not satisfied with the breakfast that they offered. The laundry room was out of order . the door to the room was unsecured the ice machine did work.
Review 34:Room is ugly it has a shower stall not even a bath tub not worthof my pay breakfast is horrible instant oatmeal? I expected a little more descent than that
Review 35:Nothing at all
Review 36:Lights were on motion sensors and came on repeatedly throughout night . also there were several homeless people around parking area and around Hotel .
Review 37:Close to Camp Pendleton , short walk to Marina .
Review 38:washateria out of function, nad to wash clothes in sink.
Review 39:room was pretty good and could walk to places to eat and gas stations, also right off the Interstate.
Review 40:Breakfast was inadequate. It consisted of fruit, toast, cold cereal, coffee and milk.
Review 41:Close to marina, pier, beach, downtown by car. In room refridgerator, microwave.
Review 42:Unfortunately, there was some tenants that reflected the inexpensive rates that were offered. Also, very close to the freeway. Still had a nostalgic feel of a hotel right off the freeway and access to the marina. Back when it was built as such.
Review 43:It was close to the marina. At some time it must have had a spectacular view of the ocean and parts of the marina. Many taller building have filled in the view in the last 30-50 years.
Review 44:The parking sucked hardly any parking, the rooms were to pricey I honestly thought I would of got a bigger room for the price I paid for the night. There was no soap, shampoo, or conditioner in the shower. Some of the pillow cases were old.
Review 45:The staff/receptionist was very nice and helpful.The beds were comfortable.
Review 46:Noisy rooms, hard beds and the pillows were nylon filled and not comfortable at all. It was hard to sleep.
Review 47:I like that it was close to the harbor. That is all.
Review 48:Each night we received phone calls from a man breathing heavy in the phone and saying inappropriate comments.
Review 49:They are improving the rooms and it was a decent place to stay for the price.
Review 50:They tried to put lip stick on a pig. Stucco on walls in bath room cracked and coming off and you can see the paint under it door jams broken and bathroom door cracked looks like someone kicked in the door. Mini fridge froze our food. It's just an old building that should have been gutted instead of touched up....
Review 51:The price was right when you are on a budget and great location to Oceanside harbor and Camp Pendleton.
Review 52:Don't book this hotel if you want to sleep well. Near the highway is an understatement. Eight lanes of asfalt almost go through the motel (25, 30 meters). Slept with paper towels in my ears and head between the pillows and stil saw every hour of the clock. Cars, cars and cars. All five slept that bad that we left the motel although we booked and paid two nights. Not worth the money especially compared to all other motels we visited in any country.
Review 53:The hotel is right next to the freeway and although we couldn't hear the sea, we heard a sea of cars (which funny enough has a similar sound to the sea). The air conditioner drowns out most of the sound so we slept well.
Review 54:The suite room was pretty spacious compared to others we've stayed in, and it didn't feel like we were falling over each other. The hotel is old and doesn't look like much from the street, but the rooms have been updated and very nice and comfortable.
Review 55:Wifi was weak. Couldn't get work done or had to sit outside on the curve to get better wifi.
Review 56:Location, comfortable clean room, free coffee in rooms.
Review 57:Freeway noise, BUT it's right there. No problem really. Everything was great here.
Review 58:Everything! The room was spotless and the bathroom was free of mold around the tub. (Yes, I'm the typre of person who looks for that.) The bed was comfortable and the bedding was soft. We arrived late and the staff was still very friendly! Easy to get too of the freeway.
Review 59:Chair with 3 legs, clearly smoked in room, extreme traffic noise, light switch covered in filth. Window open or closed you feel like you're sleeping on the 5.
Review 60:2 room suite, mini fridge and microwave.
Review 61:Old, worn out hotel, very noisy, bathroom leaking, fridge a hand down, no controls, the worst hotel we've been to, should blown down and built a new one, booked for 2 days but left the next day, got so itchy and got rashes from bed bugs, so horrible, not near the beach, wrong and deceiving advertisement!
Review 62:My only solid complaint is that I could not find a way to make the a/c run all night. Usually in hotels, there is a fan mode or continuous on or something. This one cycled on and off, no matter what settings I picked. I really like the loud whir of a/c when I sleep, especially in hotels to block any outside noise.
Review 63:This is a nice older hotel, well maintained. I came with my 5 year old for a 3 night stay. It was a good hotel, but I may try somewhere else if we return to Oceanside in the future.
Review 64:The hotel is right next to the freeway can't really sleep at night cause of the nose of the cars driving and the breakfast bar is a small choice of foods to eat i wouldn't recommend this hotel at all
Review 65:It was kinda by the beach
Review 66:When I got there I had to pay a $50 deposit because I booked with booking.com but I didn't find out until after I had checked in and was headed to room almost like an afterthought.
Review 67:Staff very professional and polite
Review 68:This room should not have been availble for guests to PAY to STAY in. There was black mold around the top of the bath tub. Water leaked from the ceiling of the bathroom. My 2 &1/2 year old grand son fell in it. Cig. burns in covers. I understand the hotel was remodeling rooms....this one really needed it. Can't believe how much we were charged for this room. We had to pay for both nights in advance. I have asthma.Can't breathe when there is more humidity in the room than outside then throw in the mold and it triggered an asthma attack for me. Getting a refund for paying in advance for the second night....well that's a whole nother battle.
Review 69:Its location. The people at the front desk were friendly. The woman especially.
Review 70:The room was small and very old. We were a family of 4 adults and a one year old. What was considered a family suite was more like one room with a VERY small bedroom. Everything was old and run down, although it looked like the walls and some of the decor were updated. For the price I was very disappointed.
Review 71:The location and friendliness of staff
Review 72:The walk back from the beach. You have to walk up hill.
Review 73:I enjoyed the ability to walk to the beach. You can always drive, but we planned on havering some drinks. So we walked.
Review 74:It was an 8 minute walk to the beach,
Review 75:This was a great value for the money, the room had comfortable beds, a/c (and it was hot and humid at the time we were there); the water pressure in the shower was very good also. The staff was very responsive to any questions we had.
Review 76:Rooms were old and in poor condition compared to price paid. 5 minute walk to beach was not accurate and walk was dirt trail covered with broken glass. Very disappointed.
Review 77:nothing
Review 78:We booked this "2 Bedroom Suite" for 4 days. We have 4 adults and 1 child when we booked but only had places for 4 people to sleep. We ordered an extra bed that came and was a taco, thank goodness the child was light and small. We got one set of coffee and bathroom supplies per day so we bought our own. The 2nd bedroom was a closet with a bed in it and it was blazing hot since it had no air. Freeway traffic wasn't nearly as bad as the "CHOICE" characters that hang out on the patio. First night we have Tarot Card Reading gypsy trying to get money from us, second night "very sad" a 19 year old kid that had been awake for a week and he was lost trying to get to Palm Springs for Rehab and last but not least, Hi my name is Paul and I do drugs was our final encounter. He proceeded to need a cell phone to call his girlfriend meanwhile he had no shoes, a liquor bottle in a plastic bag, no teeth and decided to tell us all about his meth addiction. My advise to the "MOTEL" would be monitor your homeless guests that are regulars to your patio and turn your camera on. The guests that pay $600 to stay there don't want to deal with this stuff. We won't even go there about the renovation!!!!!! Don't spend your money here!!!!!
Review 79:Location
Review 80:The entry door did not lock, wouldn't even come close. No bathtub to bathe my kids. It was the most expensive place we stayed in on our trip and the shabbiest. As soon as I took of my shoes, I stepped on a Devils Head. The breakfast was super skimpy, we didn't even eat there. If I hadn't paid cash for all 3 nights, I would not have stayed there. I would not recommend it to a family with small children.
Review 81:The staff was nice and the furniture updated.
Review 82:Weird location; exterior could use a little sprucing up; summer rates are kinda high for what you get.
