Second time we've stayed here in 3 years. This is a basic motel BUT, the staff and parking speak volumes. We checked in late around 11pm and the General Manager, Leonard, was still working the desk. Very polite and friendly. One of the BEST things about this motel is the parking. One space for every room and they have an... More

Thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule to review our property. We are very happy that you seem so pleased with your recent stay. The views are pretty amazing on the balcony, and like you I prefer the 3rd floor. The bikes are a free amenity that we began at this property over 20 years ago... More

When reviewing a property like this that has a good to excellent circle rating and many reviews, what do I say that hasn’t already been said many times before? For me, what I look for in this circumstance is the most recent reviews to see whether the property continues to earn positive reviews. Therefore I’ll provide this summary review. When... More

If you like a dirty, musty/smokey smelling hotel room at the Oceanfront then ask for Room Number 335. You can also find ants crossing the threshhold to the bathroom. The bed was so soft that we both woke up with back aches. The toilet bowl is exceptionally low to the floor and the water level is very high. This is... More

Over the past 40 years, I have stayed at hi-end, low-end properties, and everything in-between... all across the U.S. and in 6 other countries.

The best part of this hotel is the location. This is on the beach and has ocean view from the room itself. Rooms are clean. We loved having breakfast sitting in our room balcony while enjoying the beach view. we also liked kite flying, family bycycling on the beach side.

An older motel-type hotel with convenient parking that proved to be a good value for the price, but we found nothing "amazing" as others had stated. We appreciated the convenience of being only a few steps from the beach front, close enough to enjoy the sound of the surf, and the third floor, with a secure balcony, provided a good... More

The staff was amazing! Friendly and informative of the area, especially Art. Breakfast was good, and the rooms were just amazing. Had friends who warned about bugs and other critters in other hotels and recommended this place. Woke up fine and was able to enjoy the sound of the waves and F-18 hornets leaving Oceana.
