Reviews for Best Western Plus Oceanside Palms

Review 1:when the hotel was very full, the breakfast staff was overtaxed and couldn't keep the tables and chairs clean after previous guests left.

Review 2:staff was very friendly awesome breakfast buffet in a big room nice and spacious bedroom, very clean and well maintained

Review 3:The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly and I was really impressed with everyone who worked there. They honestly cared that we had a great stay.

Review 4:It was easy to book a room was ready when we got there friendly staff. The bed was deliciously comfortable. It smelled so clean. The hallway as well as our room just smelled so clean

Review 5:Dining area packed in the am. Lots of kids for sports. They were well behaved but the room was a bit chaotic.

Review 6:Close to beach. Freeway. And our daughters!

Review 7:Nothing was bad. I only stayed one night's only issue was my tv was going out. I didn't let them know until I checked out, because it wasn't a big deal for me, so I can't attest to how quickly the would-be taken care of that. And I wished you could actually see some water from the building, but you can't.

Review 8:Whole facility and my room was very nice, clean, modern, updated. Very quick and easy check-in. Staff super friendly!

Review 9:Lots of unsupervised kids in "business" centre. Although room wasn't outrageously expensive the price compared to a higher end hotel was too expensive.

Review 10:Wasn't too expensive.

Review 11:If you're taking a taxi from the station, specify oceanside palms as we were taken to the other best western.

Review 12:Complimentary breakfast, comfy bed, opposite tourist welcome centre. A 10 minute walk into town and to the beach.

Review 13:The location during the week is very quiet and not a lot to do.

Review 14:Great value for money, big rooms. Had a promotion on the day we arrived, getting free pizza.

Review 15:Plastic breakfast. Wifi good at quiet times but not usable at other times. Rooms at the rear of the hotel are a long, long walk from reception and the lifts.

Review 16:Cool bubble thing by the lift, friendly staff.

Review 17:The location really does not provide a view, but if you are aware of that, it is ok.

Review 18:The Staff was so friendly, from check in, housekeeping and the breakfast. The updates to the location are nice and the wifi was good.

Review 19:Unfortunately, the spa was not working. Could have used a nice hot soak after walking the area. Will live.

Review 20:We had a very nice time. Jesse, the desk clerk, was excellent. Helpful with all of our needs. Professionalism at it"s best.

Review 21:Need choice of pillows--at least at front desk if needed; needed a softer pillow but didn't have any BUT front desk staff tried to accommodate me and gave me a new pillow hoping it was softer (not really). Kudos to them and all staff really.

Review 22:Great, helpful staff; clean!

Review 23:WiFi was intermittent and elevator was SLOW! Luckily we were on the 2nd floor and could take the stairs.

Review 24:Loved the location and the rooms were very nice!

Review 25:The wi-fi seemed really slow and the pool was nothing special.

Review 26:The furnishings and overall vibe was great. The location between the harbor and the pier was very convenient as well.

Review 27:The "living" quarters were sort of cramped by the tv/desk/chair and ottoman - - I was continually having to move the ottoman or chair to move around. I wished there was a small table next to the wall on the side of the bed without the drawer/phone. The cleaning crew got there rather late I the afternnons, and didn't leave a wash cloth for dishes, sometimes forgot to leave coffee/cups for the next day. Also, the air conditioner seemed like it really didn't keep up with our needs.

Review 28:The breakfast was great! I liked the walk-in closet area, and the bathroom was a great size.

Review 29:Carpeting had a foul stench. Hotel needs a bit updating.

Review 30:Very good breakfast. Comfortable bed and pillows. Daily replacement of used towels. Replacement of bedding on request.

Review 31:Everything was breaking or broken in the small room. Towel bar hanging from wall, tub faucet broken, dirty carpets, tub wouldn't drain, and rooms and hotel had an awful smell. We also returned to our room after being out & our door was left open by the cleaning staff on the first day. Had an unsettling feeling the rest of our trip.

Review 32:Internet connection sucks, breakfast was just alright

Review 33:Location was alright, for the same price I think I've stayed right on the beach in San Diego but this is Oceanside I guess

Review 34:The carpets were a little dirty in the room.

Review 35:The room was clean, quiet, comfortable and contemporary. Breakfast was busy, but the food was hot, and fresh all morning. Parking is decent.

Review 36:There seemed to be an ongoing problem with the keyed entrances that was fixed after several days. Also, the lighting in the bathroom was very dim.

Review 37:Our room was small but comfortable, just as pictured. We had a room that was very accessible from a handicapped parking space, and that was really appreciated.

Review 38:There were so many people especially children in the breakfast lounge you couldn't get food or sit any where when they have so many families booked they need to organize the breakfast line maybe partition the food section off so there is a definite line instead of chaos

Review 39:the room was updated and clean, the staff was very nice and informative

Review 40:The toilets got clogged in two rooms that we were in. One room they couldn't fix and we had to move rooms. No maintenance staff after 4 pm. They gave us a plunger and said to fix it our selves. If you miss the cleaning person in the morning, its hard to get service later. Breakfast was good but they had a hard time keeping plates and utensils stocked.

Review 41:View of ocean from both rooms, newer renovation, comfortable beds, nice lobby and check in area. Staff was nice.

Review 42:The wi-fi connection was intermittent.

Review 43:The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The access to the beach was great. Truly had a relaxing wonderful time.

Review 44:Bathroom didn't seem clean. Bathroom sink counter had water spots as if it hadn't been cleaned. Room was much smaller than anticipated. The overall smell of hotel was horribly strong.

Review 45:Not all, but a couple front staff ( male ) very rude Six or seven toddlers in spa at 9pm, diving in and using floaties ( in spa !! ) .. staff did nothing Asked for extra towels for room. front staff was busy, barked a reply and hung up Asked for directions and was given wrong directions Poor value for $200+ a night !

Review 46:Clean Quick check in

Review 47:The staff that closes the pool each night wasn't to friendly when she would announce it was closing. I think they should close it at 10 for children and keep it open till 11 for adults. But the lady had no sense of humor and needed to be more friendly about closing on the guests who were enjoying the evening.

Review 48:Friendly staff. Great breakfast

Review 49:My experience was good, but I would have appreciated some extra blankets (which they were always short on) and the sign for the hotel is somewhat hidden behind their neighboring hotel. overall, great experience though!

Review 50:The front desk staff, well all the staff, we're so friendly and cheerful. Great first impression Chris!

Review 51:The pool was a little cold, but otherwise an excellent hotel.

Review 52:The rooms were large, clean and updated. A very nice property! The breakfast room is large and they serve a full breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, toast, donuts, muffins, danishes, cereals, juices, coffee. They easily accommodated an early check in and gave us a choice of rooms. Customer service was spot on. Shaded area with table and seating for smokers was a nice touch too.

Review 53:The internet in our room sometimes didn't work..

Review 54:We liked the free breakfast which save our family of 5 $$$. The rooms and room service were excellent.

Review 55:Some 2-queen-bed rooms are smaller than others. Door to the back locked after 10 pm(?). Most importantly, wifi is not usable in the room.

Review 56:Overall the hotel appears fairly clean with good services.

Review 57:The location of this Best Western is one of its finest features. It's near the beach and within walking distance of restaurants, shops and the pier. The complimentary breakfast always started our day the right way. The food was amazing and saved me a bunch of money as there are seven in my family. The rooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. I wish I were still there.

Review 58:The Wi-fi was not great but that was not a big deal.

Review 59:Location was good, low noise, beautiful lobby area, liked the fire pit, employees friendly and helpful.

Review 60:Nothing bad at all!

Review 61:Tge hotel was very clean and modern, the staff very friendly and helpful, location was walking distance to the beach, and the rate was very good!

Review 62:The staff was friendly and helpful! The rooms were very clean. The bed comfortable and great decorations. When we arrived, the staff smile at us and made us feel at home. I will definitely stay there again.

Review 63:WiFi problems- being worked on when we left. pillows were too fat.

Review 64:everything appeared new and updated. breakfast was a plus and had lots of different options for variety. pool and hot tub were clean.

Review 65:Great location to downtown Oceanside, super friendly staff, fresh baked chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies, very clean rooms and comfy beds. I will definitely reserve a room here every time I come to visit my son at Camp Penelton. Camp Penelton is 3 minutes away!!!

Review 66:The pool was ok, not heated. Bathroom was corner style and not too spacious. Pricing was a little high for what we received.

Review 67:I really like the proximity to Camp Pendleton as we were doing the annual Mud Run. It is far enough away from downtown Oceanside so it is more quiet.

Review 68:There really wasn't a view of the city only a trailer park

Review 69:everything was clean orderly and quiet. Loved everything and will definitely stay here again. We had to leave before the breakfast so I can't comment loved the fitness center pool and hot tub

Review 70:This Best Western is a nice hotel but when I returned to my room after a very long day and wanted to take a shower I saw that the towels I had placed on the floor in the morning to be replaced had been Rehung and were still wet. they were also hung in a very sloppy manner.The window in my room had also been opened and I had not opened it myself. It was pretty shocking that these things happened. I also called down to the front desk clerk and asked him for a shower cap and he was told he did not know if they had any and it would take quite a while to find out. So overall I was disappointed in the customer service. I asked for a credit to my stay but it was refused. I cannot imagine hanging up dirty wet towels that were on the floor and without permission, opening the window and leaving it open in my room. It makes me wonder what else happened while I was gone. I will contact the manager again and ask for a partial refund for the inconvenience. Based on my experience I would not recommend this hotel

Review 71:this Best Western is a nice property and I was there on business. breakfast was excellent.

Review 72:Staff, breakfast, location. Easy to get to. Endurance House is close by. Great rate, paid total of $87 since I booked 8 months in advance. Others were paying over $200/night. Thought because of the rate, it was going to be dumpy hotel. Not so, been renovated since Best Western has taken over in 2015.

Review 73:We didn't like how some staff members aren't so polite.

Review 74:We liked the clean and neatness of the room. We also liked the great customer service of the girl who checked us in that night.

Review 75:I had a reservation for 2 rooms, however when I showed up there was only one room left in the hotel. I showed the front desk my email confirmation and the response was that there were no more rooms available so there was nothing for him to do. I would recommend paying a little closer attention to overbooking so that this doesn't happen again.

Review 76:Clean and modern room. Pool and hot tub were well maintained. Gym facilities were basic but clean and perfect for a quick workout. Would definitely stay again.

Review 77:Wifi was a little slow, but we're told its under repair and will be faster soon.

Review 78:We planed on staying for one night on our way to San Diego. We were welcomed by Chris and Amy, the front desk staff who are like tour guides of what to do and see in Oceanside and San Diego. They turned our quick stop over to a four day adventure. Quick 10 minute walk to the beach and harbour. Free breakfast. Great hot tub and pool. 30 minute train ride into San Diego

Review 79:The WiFi was free but the first room we were in had lousy reception. When I asked whether anyone else had a problem, the front desk staff put in a request for their IT guy to check it out. I was offered a room closer to the "tower", which was appreciated.

Review 80:The room was very clean. The staff were all very friendly and willing to do whatever it took to make you happy!

Review 81:Room promised to be ready at 3p - not ready til 4 - there was a family with 2 small children and an infant waiting as well when I arrived - not a good sign - unfriendly staff at check in desk in afternoon and consistent in the eve when we returned for check in - there are so many hotels in the area with decent accommodations - I probably won't choose to stay at this particular best western in the future.

Review 82:Good location - the reliable state of facility for best western - free wifi - quiet room - finally ran into one male employee in the morning who was both helpful and seemed to be a nice person (we met 4 different front desk employees during the short stay)

Review 83:Housekepping was satisfactory but slightly below what I experienced on an earlier stay. Palm trees in front need to be trimmed so guests can pass thru the walkways to parked vehicles.

Review 84:Still an excellent value

Review 85:The only recommendation I'd have is to have more vegetarian and vegan friendly food for the breakfast..

Review 86:So clean and comfy! Really lovely and large rooms; well-appointed.

Review 87:The wi-fi wasn't working one evening, but they fixed it. A little noise one night, but it was quiet for the most part.

Review 88:The breakfast was wonderful, and the hotel is beautifully remodeled. The cookies at the front desk were delicious. The staff was very friendly. The bed was comfortable. The location is great! Very close to the beach.

Review 89:The toaster did not work. I brought this to the manager's attention. I even offered to purchase a new one for the dining room. Individuals were poking at the toaster with a knife trying to make it work. The dining room was under staffed; no hot food; no bacon or eggs. No coffee or juice at one point. No tea bags...It was not like management did not know that the "house" was booked for the weekend. Management needed to hire additional kitchen staff so there would be two individuals in the kitchen cooking and at least one out in the dining area cleaning and refilling the juice, tea, coffee, etc...and clearing off tables. Very poorly run! Wi-Fi did not work well; very poor signal. No TV channel guide. We were there for 4 nights...when we left the toaster was still not working! How sad is that???

Review 90:Bed was comfortable. Liked that we could open the window for fresh air :) Room had a fridge & microwave.

Review 91:The only thing we noticed that could've made it better is having a second elevator at the opposite end of the building.

Review 92:The housekeeping personal are soo nice and helped in anyway they could....Loved them so much we left flowers for the one we seen the most. The whole facility is very nice. Pool area was also very nice and inviting. Nice place to relax after a busy day.plus they have a grill to use which is nice.but never had a chance to use it due to our own schedule.

Review 93:I felt it was pricey for a small town.

Review 94:Great improvements since my last visit and remodel. Very comfortable and staff is friendly. Enjoyed the complimentary breakfast too.

Review 95:The only thing is we can't find a grocery store around us!

Review 96:It was a great time to stay for 3 nights and 4days! We definitely coming back for our next vacation. Very nice people! Keep it up!

Review 97:The staff were friendly. The whole environment was clean, and quiet, which is what I liked. The beds are so comfortable, I feel right to sleep. The breakfast was great!

Review 98:New,clean,friendly hotel. Laundry was welcomed as we had been on the road for a while. Can't really think of any negatives here. WiFi was excellent - unlike our next hotel in San Diego:(.

Review 99:Someone was hanging out in parking lot that looked like he was looking in cars. Not sure of what his intentions were or why he was there.

Review 100:Only spent 1 night but it was a good sleep and clean room and comfortable

Review 101:No Room Safe for personal valuables. Free Room WiFi Very Very SLOW! Poor Quality, Room and Bathroom Lighting. Bath had been previously Repaired. Took a long time for the hot water to heat up.

Review 102:Great Clean Room, Friendly Polite Staff, Good Location, Free Parking, Free light Breakfast, Free Use of WiFi Computer in Business Centre.

Review 103:The air conditioning kept going off. Lighting in the kitchen is very dark. Pool was closed for 4 of the 5 days we were there.

Review 104:The nicely decorated room was super clean and the staff very friendly. We had the suite with kitchen facilities and a full size refrigerator. Washer and dryer on our floor was very handy. The room was quiet and restful, even though it was very close to the freeway. No neighbor noise either. We had a 14 minute walk to the local beach every day,

Review 105:Poor wi-fi strength. Very busy at breakfast so food items run out.

Review 106:Good check-in and the reception clerk gave us a great room. Complimentary breakfast. Plenty parking despite being a public holiday. Nice room decor. Nice TV lounge and business area. Outside fire pit and seating.

Review 107:My family stayed here last summer. At that point they were just starting the renovations... Last year the hotel was fine. This year it was really nice! The rooms were nicely decorated and very comfortable and especially clean. The staff very helpful and friendly! Coming back next year too!

Review 108:The whole time I stayed their we didn't have WiFi! Plus the hot tub wasn't open for like 3 nights

Review 109:The hotel got a nice remodeling, which is great..the comfort was nice, and the breakfast was delicious!

Review 112:The hotel was a fair walk from bars and restaurants.

Review 113:Rooms were of good quality and very comfortable. Staff wre very helpful with directions to local amenities

Review 114:I could not figure out the Wifi - no biggie- i was able to "disconnect" for a bit.

Review 115:Despite the multitude of teenage soccer players. We did not hear any noise and slept very well.

Review 116:Nothing really . Some people I'm sure have a problem with the contraction going on. But it wasn't that big of a deal. There just trying to improve the look if the place

Review 117:Was in a good area within walking distance to shops and resturants .. And even a great farmers market

Review 118:Bathroom didn't have locks, was ok for me and my husband but the kids room with a boy and a girl needed a lock for some privacy. The views from our window was a trailer park but at the same time we weren't looking out the window the whole time..we were out and about.

Review 119:Remodeled hotel looks great...when everything is new it's just great! Big TVs, comfy bed and pillows, microwave and fridge in every room, normal size hair dryer, great water pressure in the shower, staff was friendly and the free breakfast was great..love waffles! The pool is small but the hot tub was great at night. Never had any issues with parking and very close to the highway so easy access. With some construction still going on, the workers were pleasant and we not in the way.

Review 120:Did not like that I had to login for the Wi-Fi EVERY time I wanted to use it

Review 121:I liked the location..close to everything although I doubt that I would ever walk to the beach unless I had nothing to take with me!!!

Review 122:Rooms are small and breakfast always ran out of something each day, bread, milk, maple syrup, but it is free. A little too far to walk with beach gear and children, but we found parking closer to the beach.

Review 123:Beautiful renovations of the rooms. Very comfy beds. Walking distance to the beach. Nice free breakfast and free parking.

Review 124:The staff members were very friendly the hotel was very clean and the location was perfect you could walk to beach and restaurants and shopping would always try this place first.

Review 125:They did not have a rolling bed for my 15 year old son. We missed breakfast on Saturday because we arrived at 9:45 and they were not putting out any more items, even though breakfast ended at 10:00.

Review 126:This hotel was a very good value. It was clean and modernized. It was in a convenient location for us to get to Legoland and visit San Diego.

Review 127:The houkeeping staff very helpful. I was missing the T.V remote and without minutes the room attendant was there reprogramming the temote. (Big plus for her).

Review 128:The price! I didn't know if there was something going on, or the weekend price is just sky high? That was my only issue..

Review 129:This was a very last minute booking for an overnight stay. The hotel had gone through some renovations and the rooms were nice, beds comfortable, clean, bathroom clean. Continental breakfast great!

Review 130:That the room was not available on time.

Review 131:I got to spend more time with my husband.

Review 132:Shower did not work, water faucet stuck on on position, no hot water......water was still running when we left .... an hour later.
