Top California Surf Museum Hotel Reviews

Harbor Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"This is an old accommodation and has been in its location while I was still active duty on Camp Pendleton MCB. I required one nite stay to visit old friends in north county SD. Yes, the lodgings are aged but maintained well. I appreciated the late night service as I came into LAX past midnite due to airline delays. Drove south an hour and was able to obtain room key at approximately 0315, hallelujah! Slept for three hours and departed at 0800 to complete tasks in SD prior noon to drive up to Ventura county. For a brief and somewhat inexpensive stay, I recommend this Harbor Inn, Oceanside. Thank you."

Best Western Plus Oceanside Palms

8/10 Good

Ramada by Wyndham Oceanside

10/10 Excellent

"Affordable, clean, & comfortable."

Southern California Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"Wow, I felt like an absolute princess when I stayed here! All of the staff were so helpful and kind and made me feel right at home! The room was beyond spotless and had everything I could ever wish for! I absolutely loved the private patio! If you can get the studio right on the beach do it for sure! It is amazing! Also, definitely book some time in the hot tub right after sunset...it was gorgeous! I loved all of the amenities, especially the beach chairs! They thought of everything for the kitchen and the bed and bedding were so comfortable! I got a little hot, but between the ceiling fan and the 2 other fans they provided I was perfect in no time! I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place to everyone!"

Rise Suites Oceanside

10/10 Excellent

"We had a terrific stay. This is not only my go-to in the Oceanside area but also my go-to for trips to San Diego. The location puts you about a 15 minute walk to the Coaster Train and an easy ride into downtown San Diego. The host was superb with easy communication and very helpful. The place is laid out very thoughtfully with cozy common spaces and a wonderful roof top area to relax and watch the sun set. The rooms are spacious and very well appointed with a fully functional kitchen as well. And the resort style bathroom . . . Wow. I look forward to coming back."
