What guests think

Travellers describe Oceanside Inn & Suites as a no-frills, older motel refreshed with updates, praised for its friendly, hands-on owners and walkable beachside location, with simple rooms that generally meet expectations for a short stay.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many report very clean or newly renovated spaces, while others note dirty floors and occasional pests. Rooms are straightforward, with some small or sparse layouts, thin walls and traffic noise for light sleepers, and several mentions of separated sink-and-bathroom setups and limited outlets. Facilities are limited—no on-site breakfast and a few hot-water issues—but dining options nearby are plentiful. Overall, it suits budget-minded travelers comfortable with modest, uneven details.

No food options at this hotel. Coffee only available in the lobby. Beds were okay but nothing special. Room layout meant you had to walk through the full unit before you could wash your hands from the bathroom. Room 101 shares a super thin wall with the lobby and you can hear conversations like they are in the room with you. Lots of food and things nearby.

Travel the way it used to be. This 50’s style motel that is being refreshed provided the basics of travel at a fair price. The room was clean, linens were clean, the A/C worked, it had blackout curtains that actually worked, the bathroom was just remodeled, plenty of dining options within a couple blocks and you can park right by your room for ease of access. And beach access is just 3-4 blocks through a quiet residential neighborhood. An excellent choice for the budget conscious traveler who has the right expectations.

The front desk gentleman was very kind and easy going. We stayed in 109 and it was very neat having our own garage to park in right outside of the door. It’s a cute room with a tv, microwave, mini fridge, drawers, a place to hang clothes, and full stand up shower. Overall good experience, will be back. Also parking was free, and there seemed to be plenty of it on a Tuesday night.

The overall place was okay, very weird that the bathroom and sink to wash up was on the other side of the wall, the floors were dirty, I walked with socks on and my socks turned black, otherwise it was an average place.

I initially confused this hotel with another property, which affected my initial expectations. While I had previously stayed here and had reservations about returning, I noticed some positive changes. The property shows signs of improvement with fresh paint and general updating efforts. However, there are still areas needing attention. The room layout remains awkward, and housekeeping needs more oversight—I found a used soap bar in the shower, marks on the walls, and sand on the floor. While I appreciate the visible attempts to upgrade the property, there's still work to be done to meet basic cleanliness standards. Credit should be given for the renovation efforts, though attention to detail in room cleanliness would significantly improve the guest experience

I loved the set up of the room but there were hardly any outlets to use. My feet were filthy from the floor. There were ants in the shower. We had 3 or 4 roaches. Stains on the sheets, I’ve never been Leary about using the bedding in a room, glad we brought extra blankets.

Furthermore I saw bloodstains and burn marks in the carpet. The guy working the desk was nice. Although he didn't seem surprised at all!

This property is by FAR the worst property I’ve ever seen. There were spackle marks all over the room, stains on covers, the mattress springs made crazy sounds, the towels looked as dingy as my golf towels that I used to wipe dirt off my clubs and finally there were BUGS in bathroom ceiling including the showers. This place looked out of a movie. And of course, the bathroom smelled like a collection of old dish sponges. It was so bad that I prepaid for two nights and I refused to stay there despite the fact that I paid for two nights. Now that’s bad!!!!!

The restroom and shower were in the back room while the handwashing station was located in the front room . The staff was great and very attentive. The price four our room was also very reasonable.

I've heard this place was really rough a few years ago. It seems to be much better now. It offers a clean, basic room at a good price. I wear ear plugs at night so I wasn't bothered, but it seemed like the walls were a bit thin and could be a problem if you are really noise sensitive. Since it is an older place, electrical outlets are very limited. They've tried to add some outlets in some pieces of furniture. Great idea and appreciated, but I had some trouble with them - plugs wouldn't stay connected in the one next to the bed. Speaking of the bed, it was a little softer than I like which may be a feature for others. Nonetheless, the location is great for me when I'm visiting family. A number of restaurants in walking distance (Break Point next door was great for breakfast). On most trips I'm only in the room to to sleep and shower. This place works great for that.

The property was in poor condition. It may have been sufficient for a single night, but overall, it was not a good experience. The room appeared nice from the outside but had an unpleasant odor, reminiscent of a public bathroom—possibly mildew. A portable heater was blasting inside, adding to the discomfort. During our stay, there were two beds: a king and a queen, located in separate rooms. The king room had only a sink, while the queen room contained the toilet and shower. Additionally, there were limited outlets; only one was available in the second room with the queen bed. We did not sleep much because we were afraid of being robbed. The windows did not close fully, so we secured the drapes and hoped for the best. Other guests on the property seemed sketchy, watching us as we came and went.

The property was newly renovated, and our room wasn’t exactly super clean. The toilet was dirty and the floors were too. There was no iron or ironing board, And there was no continental breakfast of any kind. I feel it’s overpriced location and surrounding area is supposed to justify it.
