Einer absolute Urlaubskatastrophe
Pros:

Alles absolut enttäuschend und völlig überbewertet!

Cons:

Was sind das für Sterne? Ich frage mich wirklich, wofür die vergeben wurden. Fünf Sterne? Da sollte Booking strenger eingreifen, denn die lassen sich absolut nicht erklären. Eine Rezeption gibt’s nicht, Housekeeping ist genauso nicht vorhanden, und die Fotos sind so gekonnt gemacht, dass die Realität den Urlaub versauen kann. „Alles neu“ – wie kann so etwas behauptet werden, oder in welchem Verhältnis? Und „privates Parking“? Je nach Zimmer ist es offene Straße – du musst selbst einen Spot finden, und als Erklärung heißt es: „Dein Zimmer hat keine Garage.“ Also Beschwerde einlegen, um das Versprochene zu bekommen – das ist alles andere als entspannt im Urlaub. Zustand der Straße lasse ich mal offen. Erst nach Beschwerde kriegst du mit Glück das Beschriebene, aber das ist Urlaub, und so sollte es nicht laufen. Das Zimmer? Es muffelt und ist viel zu klein. Die Krönung der Erfahrung war der Zustand des Bettes: gelbe Flecken auf den Laken – man weiß nicht, ob Bettwäsche gar nicht gewechselt wurde oder ob man sowas hier einfach verwendet. Personal und Booking? Reaktion erst am nächsten Tag. Nur eine Nacht im Bett schlafen und die andere auf der Couch, weil das Bett voller Flecken ist – bei einem Aufenthalt von nur zwei Tagen und den Preisen, die so etwas eigentlich nicht zulassen dürften. Wer will im Urlaub Ärger nach Ärger erleben? Absolut anstrengend – Erholung sucht man hier vergebens, nie wieder und keine Empfehlung.

Overall a nice place to stay but too many small inconveniences
Pros:

Overall, a nice place to stay, easy access to the beach, can hear the ocean from the room, I would maybe stay here again.

Cons:

I would have preferred a secondary form of lock to use at night, being a solo female, even just one of the chain locks or a deadbolt. The door also does not lock behind you like a normal hotel because there are no key cards, just a code, so if you don't lock it behind you, it is open for anyone to walk in, which is exactly what happened to me while I was here. A MALE STRANGER walked into my room! The floor had quite a bit of sand, like the room was not swept between guests. The shampoo and body wash bottles were completely empty and I didn't bring my own body wash because I expect all hotels to provide a small bar soap at a minimum, so I had to use the hand soap in my shower the first night. Also, I recieved MANY messages from the hotel during my stay which all ended with something along the lines of "message us with any questions" but when I did message a quick question about how to pick up the parking pass that they've mentioned many times, I never got a reply, thankfully I did not ever receive a parking ticket!

Pros:

The location of the hotel is perfect. And that's all .

Cons:

Very small rooms. We are a standard size family of three. We were very cramped. Very small bathroom. Small shower. Small sink . No set for storing things . Throughout your vacation you will have to clean yourself. No one changes towels, bed linen. At the time of our arrival the washing machine was working, but the dryer did not work, respectively we could not wash clothes and towels from the sand . We stayed for 5 days.

Definitely will stay here again
Pros:

Trevor was super helpful before arrival and during our stay to answer any questions we had. The room (201) was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The freezer/fridge combo was just enough space to keep food in there. The freezer did keep our items frozen.

Cons:

The only con I would say is the pull out couch bed was not very comfortable for adults. My 2 kids however didn’t mind.

Lovely stay right by the ocean
Pros:

Beautiful appartement right by the ocean. It's modern and clean and has a well-equipped kitchen, allowing you to cook food during your stay. Check-in was easy and all went smooth. I really enjoyed staying here in Oceanside.

Cons:

I think the price was a bit on the high end, but that's probably because of the great location.
A minor point is that it takes about 5 minutes for the shower to get warm and the water pressure is very low. Not a big deal, but something that might be improved upon.
