“Excellent Hotel.. Best Place To Stay !!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel has been my hotel of choice for the past several years. I travel about every other week to the San Diego area and would not stay anywhere else! The management and staff have always been EXTREMELY friendly, helpful and go out of their way to make your stay with them comfortable and complete. The rooms are very clean and have all the ammenities you could ask for. Management is always making improvements to ensure his guests have a GREAT experience at his hotel. The rates are very good and the hotel is located right off the 5 freeway with close access to shopping, restaurants, the Ocean and more. I recommend this hotel highly to anyone coming to the area !!!!

Room Tip: I have stayed in several of the rooms and enjoyed them all but the poolside rooms are the BEST !! Su...

Thank you, Kathy, for taking the time to comment on your positive experiences with us. We are delighted to hear that you have enjoyed being our frequent and satisfied guest. We likewise are proud to be your prime choice of dependable accommodations, whether you're in town for business or your own personal pleasure.

We appreciate your recommendation to those here on TripAdvisor to try booking rooms with a pool view at our hotel. The sunny Southern California weather and mild ocean air ought to be taken full advantage of, and we thus encourage all our guests to plop themselves on a deck chair outside and soak it all in. Thank you also for noticing the constant efforts of management to improve with each guest's stay. It is through such efforts that our hotel continues to grow and establish lasting relationships, so that pleasant guests like you happily come back for seconds and thirds (and possibly even fourths!).

“Excellent Customer Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

We frequent this local hotel and use the newly remodeled meeting rooms monthly for almost 2 years now. Excellent customer service from a helpful management staff and the improvements make it a nice place to hold our group events every month of the year. Easy access right off the 5 freeway, near the ocean, and very reasonable rates. We love it.

Room Tip: The General Manager is very helpful

“BEST Hotel in the Area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I have stayed here for 2 months for work and would not choose any other hotel. Service is great and management goes out of their way to to help out or make our requests happen. They have a great Rate, and for that you get a GREAT, clean spacious room with fridge and microwave, and free internet. The pool and hot tub are a plus, a great way to relax after a hard day of work or for a relaxing day off. It's also a great location too, right off the interstate with Starbucks, grocery stores, tons of restaurants and shopping needs all just walking distance away. The Beach is only a few blocks away and the pier is about 3 mins. driving distance away. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Oceanside!

“Great location, excellent value, friendly helpful service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

person found this review helpful

BW Oceanside Inn turned out to be the ideal motel for my visit to Southern California: great location, spacious and clean rooms at a great price, and helpful staff.

Oceanside beach 5mins, San Diego 45min, LA 90mins, AnzaBorrego desert 120mins.
Oceanside is a sleepy surfing town with beautiful clean beaches and stunning sunsets off the Oceanside Pier. Motel is located across the road from a large grocery store (Fresh&Easy) which is great for food supplies, and a petrol station next door for late night snacks (2am munchies, no problem).

Large rooms with large beds and large bathroom. Cleaned thoroughly every day.
No complaints. Not luxurious, not modern, but really comfortable and clean. I had everything that I needed. Big parking lot with plenty of spaces to choose from. Simple breakfast was included. Free WiFi.

From reception staff to room maids, everyone was super friendly and helpful. I was always greeted with smiles and a keen helpful attitude.

“Clean but terrible service.”

I Stayed here because I thought it would be nice to be by Oceanside and visit the pier the next day. Upon arriving in the evening I was not greeted at the front desk. In fact, the door was locked and I stood outside for a good 5 minutes knocking until I got a hold of the hotl number and called...a man named Nikloa buzzed me in. I asked for late check out because we were exhausted from the drive and he said he would give us till 11am. The next morning I was feeling weak and my fiancé had called the front dest to see if we cold extend our late check out so that I could rest a little bit more...however a rude man named Sreth who I later found out was the manager was now telling my fiancé that he was rushing us out at 10am and how they don't give late check out and how there was many people waiting to check in. He had no regards for my health his guests by having such a rude tone with my fiance. There was no one in the lobby or parking lot when we were rushed out of there and the maid was not even in a rush and she offered to let me stay a while to rest when she saw I was not feeling well "she was the sweetest person there" however I ended up leaving to rest in my car because I did not want to deal with this hotel any further. Also, the plumbing was awful, the toilet would not flush! You had to hold the flusher down for a minute and it still didn't work well. I will never come back to this best western again.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your comments regarding your stay with us during the month of December. Having had the opportunity to read your remarks, I would like to offer my sincere apologies for any misunderstanding that occurred in relation to our check-out policy and the handling of late check-out requests. Our policy is to ensure all guests leaving in the morning vacate the hotel in a timely manner as a courtesy for incoming guests arriving in the early afternoon. It was very unfortunate that the on-duty staff at the time was unable to uphold your request. I completely understand that you were not feeling well and would have liked to rest longer.

I would further like to apologize that you felt inconvenienced when trying to check in late the night before. Our night clerk is required to lock the lobby doors during his shift as a security precaution. He is also responsible for walking around to monitor the property and was probably doing so when you arrived. I sincerely apologize once more for the inconvenience at a time when you simply wanted to rest after a long day’s travel.

I would like to thank you as well for noting the cleanliness of your room and the hotel premises. We certainly appreciate the acknowledgement in face of the fact that we did not meet your customer service expectations.

Again, thanks for giving us your feedback related to your stay. It is only through comments from guests like yourself that we are able to review the quality of our service and facilities, and proactively work with our staff to improve them.

All the best,


Samantha
