The Oceanside, a Coast Hotel

8/10 Good
"The location is excellent, and our room had a beautiful ocean view. Unfortunately, our experience was affected by the ongoing sewer repair and construction work directly in front of our room. The unpleasant smell made it difficult to enjoy the balcony, and the construction noise was disruptive. To make matters worse, our room’s water supply was interrupted for approximately two hours. We suspect the construction may have accidentally damaged a water pipe, as the issue seemed to go unnoticed until the water stopped flowing. This happened just after we returned from a long hike, leaving us unable to use the bathroom or shower when we needed them most. We appreciate that the staff were apologetic, but we felt that offering only a bottle of hand sanitizer was inadequate given the inconvenience and discomfort we experienced. We believe some form of additional compensation would have been a more appropriate gesture. While the location and ocean view were great, the construction-related issues significantly affected our stay. We hope management will take this feedback seriously and consider how to better support guests when unexpected disruptions occur."

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best things about this hotel is Hesham (Front Desk/check-in). He welcomes you like an old friend (even if it's your first time staying there). Our room (and two other groups/guests) wasn't ready - not his fault as we were early to check-in. He offered us a seat in reception, showed us where we could get coffee/tea from while we waited (they have an amazing cappuccino machine and a great selection of teas. When our room was ready (not long at all - we hadn't even finished our coffee's or the fresh baked cookies they offer daily), he didn't call out from behind the desk, he walked over to us on the couch and told us he could finish checking us in now. Our room was spotless, cozy and bright. The beds and pillows were really comfortable. Our room had a fridge and Keurig coffee maker. The breakfast (included with our stay) had a great section (eggs, sausage, potato, fruit, pastries/breads, yogurt, make your own waffles and a lot more). Our stay was 5 star. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for accommodation in the area."
