Top South Oceanside Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was wonderful."

Days Inn by Wyndham San Marcos

8/10 Good

"For what it is and the area. I have no real complaints. Anything that I have a concern with or feel that needs to be addressed is simple things. Hotel is aged but maintained, not sure what breakfast is supposed to be, only having pastries and being able to make waffles is okay, but I did anticipate some food like eggs and bacon or some kind of breakfast meat. But it's not a deal breaker unless you have to have it. I've been places that offer it and thought it was standard. Next, ICE! with the weather being what it is right now, there was no bucket for ice in our room. So I was forced to use my cups that were not available in the room either. None of this is a deal breaker for me, but just observed. Now, the area of most concern. Room safety, this can be a deal breaker moving forward. As I was on the first floor, I notied that the room window faced a major street and fence outside is not that tall or secure and when I entered the room the window was not really locked. (lock is kinda flimsy anyway) had I not checked before leaving my room for the day. Anyone willing and daring enough could have opened it and got in the room. When it comes to safety, I hope everyone double checks the room and surroundings, a simple extra piece to lock the windows would go a long way. But over all, the room served it's purpose and price was reasonable."

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"Overall a great experience with a few minor complaints. The junior suite was huge with lots of room but there was underutilized space in the bathroom. For example there was nowhere to hang the hand towel. No door between the toilet and the rest of the bathroom. The property is huge and requires a lot of walking to get around. It’s at least 1/2 a mile from our room to the main pool for example. The parking lots are not well paved at all and our lot had no lighting. The pools were very nice and the staff very friendly and attentive. We had a few minor issues that were quickly resolved once we contacted them. Good property overall but I’d probably try a different resort if I was in the area again."
