I was staying in a corner room, so I was extremely close to the people on the other side of the room, and I was worried about privacy, but it was not a problem after all, because everyone was out sightseeing.

Bathroom

IMG_0927.jpg-36

The bathroom was across the bed. The door was a mirror.

IMG_0927.jpg-27

There was no bathtub in the bathroom, only a shower room. The shower faced the ocean and light shined through the window. Also, there were two hooks in the shower room, so after I came back from the beach, I took a shower in a swimsuit and hung it there. It was very convenient.

IMG_0927.jpg-30

The shower was fixed on the wall and there was no problem with water pressure and drainage. There was a handrail in the shower room which was considerate of the hotel.

Beach

IMG_0927.jpg-77

A new hotel is under construction in front of the hotel, but now it is the closest hotel to the beach, so you can see the pier from the rooms. The beach was not packed with people, so I was able to relax.

Hotel surroundings

I stayed on the weekend, but the area around the hotel was currently under construction and a crane truck moved, and on Monday I woke up with an unprecedented noise. Other than that, I was able to spend time comfortably with no problem.

Staff and guests

The staff were friendly and professional. The bellboy was also friendly. The first night was too comfortable, so I asked if there was another room available. He told me that there was room available and I could move to a nicer room. It was troublesome to move, so I stayed in the same room, but it was very kind of him.

IMG_0927.jpg-20 (1)

Since it was a weekend, there were many people staying as a family to go to the beach. Also, there was a group of people staying to celebrate a birthday, so it was lively. Since breakfast was free, the lobby was filled with people.

Access

I could see the Amtrak Oceanside from the hotel. From time to time I could hear the trains coming and going. Because the hotel is located in downtown, it was lively. There were bars and restaurants along the street. I saw a couple of people who were acting crazy from using drugs, but it is a tourist area so they did not bother me. I went to Walmart, because I had run out of fishing reels. There was also a liquor shop behind of the hotel, which was open until late at night and was able to buy snacks and wine there. There was a nice bar next to the hotel, and it was easy to find a place to have lunch as well.

Summary

I left my house with fishing gear and a surf set, looking to stay for only one night, but the hotel was too comfortable I decided to stay one more night. The best thing about this hotel was that there was a beach right in front of the hotel. I enjoyed the activities to the fullest at a beach that was not too crowded. You can go out easily and come back if you need something. Of course, the rooms were perfect and it was relaxing to be able to see the beach from the room. It was nice that there were good restaurants and bars that I could get to on foot from the hotel.
