We like the kitchenette.We save alot of money from having to eat out all the time since we can store food in a Full size refridgerator and a stove to cook on.Has a microwave and a coffee maker too and a kitchen table.I always sleep comfortable on their beds.The times we have stayed there was no too loud partiers,I guess it just matters what time of year you go and the manners of certain people.We always go the weeks AFTER 4th of July.Only about 4 blocks from the beach,nice! around the corner there is a gas station and down the street a lil ranch market store where you can buy food.We always just walk there it's that close! Many fast food and restaurants close to choose from too.NEVER have seen roaches in the rooms like one of the reviews.I am terrified of big roaches so i would have noticed,of course if you keep your door open alot that would be more highly possible duh! We always keep the windows open and they have screens.Anyway we like it and we go every summer.We like the prices and since they have us saved on file since we reserve our rooms ahead of time they give us even better deals,that is always nice.

I needed a place to stay for an extended period and a kitchenette was ideal. This hotel is situated right out the front gate of Camp Pendleton so the location was good for us. However, the free continental breakfast and VCR rental advertised on the building was false. The rooms are old and falling apart. We had to relight the pilot light on the stove every night. The night time staff were unhelpful and the cleaning crew did not speak any English. Since we got a kitchenette, we did not get maid service everyday and had to take our own trash out. No pots, pans or dishes were provided. The manager was very short with us, but did barter for the price of the room. The bathroom sink is one step away from falling off the wall. I will never stay here again and now would have paid the same price for a room without a kitchenette to have something clean.

Having stayed in some low priced motels in the San Diego area I have to say the Motel 9 Oceanside is a very nice place. It is similar to the ones in San Diego as far as cost but that is where it stops. I found the room I stayed in very clean and had a new bathroom that was very clean and had some elbow room.
Having a small fridge and a microwave/coffee machine is nice as well for late night snacks etc...
The room was big enough and had a lot of closet space. The bed was ok, not the best but not too bad either. The manager is a nice guy and was very helpful. It is not the Hyatt but for a short stay it is very good value for the price. Also a good location, as the town, beach and the freeway is right close. Overall i give a thumbs up for this motel.

Booked a room at this motel out of frustration, heading to San Diego from LA and being too tired to drive. Didn't ask for a room to see. What a mistake. But, again, i was really tired and just wanted to crush someplace. I started to fear for the worst almost immediately, when i realized the guy wasn't even going to ask for a mere deposit for paying cash up front. He even dared to mutter a "very nice room".
First thing that hit me, the smell. Like a big bowl of dust in your mouth. .No kidding. Second, the ceiling was so short i could almost touch it, standing on my feet. And the bed was higher than average! Deadly combination. The rest was as bad. The shower went rusty probably in the 40's, the rest accordingly. Bed sheets had cigarette burns and yellow stains. Another thing that irked me a lot, was that 2 out of 3 locks on the door where broken. Frightly enough. I slept, eyes open. Looking at the other reviews i consider myself lucky not to have meet bedbugs and roaches. Definitely a possibility in that pit. Don't waste your time and money here. Consider i had let down a room with ocean view in Laguna Beach for just 15 bucks more than this. Dont' get fooled!
