"Visited family in Oceanside for our nephews high school graduation. We wanted to be close to the beach. This hotel was perfect. So close to everything. Stores, restaurants, and most importantly the beach. Very friendly staff. If you want your room cleaned every day they will, but we Were there three nights and just asked for clean towels and coffee and they gave it to us no problem. This is our new place when we visit this area. We overlooked the courtyard from our balcony and it was nice...
