South Oceanside Vacation Packages

A quaint smallish hotel in the bustling Gaslamp quarter. Staff was friendly enough, but check-in was dragged till the very last moment, and the confirmatory text message never made it. Room was sparkling when we got in, but henceforeard left alot to be wanting. Dirty wineglasses were left as is on the counter. Trash bin not cleared, desk/table not wiped and staines stayed with us throughout our stay (4 nights). All in all a positive experience, but much room for improvement.

Was fun for the whole family!

Loved how everything was in walking distance.

Great setting right on Mission Beach, close to restaurants. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms. Parking at $35 a day is a poke in the eye but that is nature of area. Building exterior could do with refurbishment and the week we were there the smell of weed permeated the passages - not a good image for a non-smoking family hotel. Otherwise enjoyed it.

The good: Nicely situated resort. Close to parks and beaches. Four well kept, heated pools and hot tubs, with enough room and towels for everyone. Clean rooms and facilities. Very friendly and pleasant to deal with staff. Plenty of dining options around, including delivery to whatever spot you're currently resting at. The bad: be ready to pay up - restaurants, take out, snacks, and beverages all cost double to triple the norm around these parts, within the resort as well as surrounding areas. I booked a waterfront room, but got one that was close to water front yet with no windows or view of any sort (behind a waterfront unit). The landscaping and ponds throughout the property looked very rundown. The surrounding beaches are walkable but do not plan to swim - dirty, rocky, full of weeds and growth. Traffic can be seen and heard all around. Our room was separated by interior doors from two others and we could hear every child scream, cough, and conversation from the adjacent units. Each bungalow comes with a parking spot, but you're charged $42/day for parking still.
