Mission Beach Boardwalk Tours and Activities

Very nice stay in Oceanside.

It was nice to be welcomed at the front desk with all kinds of helpful tips. Was not impressed that we were shuffled over to another hotel for a 'hidden time share' spiel ... we were told that it was NOT but it was .. I found the location was pretty good right next to Balboa park .. the manditory Valet service was good and only 20 per night for well lit secure parking .. The room upgrade was superb .. due to staffing shortages, there was no daily housecleaning but that's getting to be the norm these days. Had a great tiime overall. Recommend this place

There were lots of dining options near the property (you'll need a vehicle). They did not tell us there was a $25 per day parking fee. Substantial when you stay for a week. It was very noisey (the only request i had was for a quiet room). There are a lot of homeless people in this area, making me feel unsafe to walk anywhere. I did clean the kitchen before we could use it. Lots of grime on cabinets and handles. We needed box fans to drown out the highway noise, but they would only give us 1 for our 2 bedroom unit. It was a convenient location and staff was friendly. They tried to get us to tour their other property assuring us it wasn't a time share. After looking at their properties online, that's exactly what it was, so felt deceived there, but we canceled before we were supposed to go. While it was definitely a convenient location, i would only stay again if guaranteed a top floor (it sounded as if we had a 600 lb man walking above us), and one facing away from the highway. I'd also know to buy some cleaning supplies before we got there. Not the worst we've stayed in, but a far cry from the best.
