Pros:

The location is great and the free was convenient.

Cons:

The room had damp smell, although it looked clean, but smelled very bad.

I asked for a late checkout as I checked in at 5am .. they gave me 30min extra only (11:30am). Then I called at morning asking again, she said (we cannot) .. I said many other hotels are (flexibile) when people check in very late, she said (((WE ARE NOT))) .. the big parking space was 3 cars in it including mine, so the hotel was not busy at all

Worst Hotel Stay, This Hotel Should Not Carry the Ramada Name
Pros:

There really wasn’t anything I could say I liked about the room. It had a strong, unpleasant smell that seemed like mold, and the floors looked like they had not even been vacuumed or properly cleaned. The room felt dirty and uncomfortable.
It was so bad that we didn’t even stay the night. We ended up leaving and paying for another hotel just so we would have somewhere clean and comfortable to sleep. Considering we paid almost $300 for the room, this was extremely disappointing and definitely not the experience I expected.

Cons:

The room had a very strong mold smell, which made our stay extremely uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the staff was not very helpful either. When we asked for assistance, they did not seem familiar with the building and kept sending us to different areas instead of helping us find what we needed.
I have stayed at Ramada hotels before, so I expected a certain level of quality and service. I understand that every location can be different, but I still expected the basic standards to be consistent. This experience was very disappointing, especially considering we paid almost $300 for one night.
Between the condition of the room, the mold smell, and the lack of assistance from the staff, I definitely do not feel that our stay was worth what we paid. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I have had.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

I actually never got to stay there. About an hour before my arrival they called to confirm my stay. The young woman advised me that I would be required to submit a $200.00 cash deposit. I told her that the notification I received said either cash or a credit card could be used and that a cash deposit was highly unusual. She then asked if she should cancel the reservation! I said no, and that I would agree to using a credit card per the notification but I was uncomfortable with cash but we would discuss it when I arrived. When I arrived, she took my credit card and charged me for the full stay. At that time I noticed a large placard on the counter stating that the deposit could be paid with cash or a credit card. She insisted on cash, then got her manager of the phone. She was extremely rude and informed me that my reservation was canceled. They took my credit card for room payment but somehow it wouldn't be accepted for the deposit! I asked for a confirmation that my credit card would be credited but I haven't seen any evidence of in my account.
DO NOT STAY HERE! I wouldn't trust them. I have stayed at dozens of hotels and have never been treated this rudely and unfairly.

Overall, a hotel we can‘t recommend
Pros:

Gym

Cons:

Cash deposit, clogged toilet, and a sticky & dirty carpet

Unfortunately, we can't recommend the Ramada by Wyndham Oceanside.
First, the $200 deposit, which is cash only — the ATM at the front desk charges a fee to withdraw it. We weren't the only guests caught off guard and frustrated by this. Despite having 2 adults and 2 children, we were given only one room key. A sign in the elevator already warned not to flush toilet paper — and our toilet was already clogged when we arrived.
Our room (302) was right on the busy Mission Ave, and on top of that, the old AC unit was extremely loud, making it hard to sleep. At the front desk, we ran into other guests also asking for earplugs. The carpet was sticky, the mattress was worn out and uncomfortable, and the room smelled musty, like a damp basement. Hair Dryer and safe were not working.
Most frustrating of all: we had booked 3 nights through Booking.com and requested an early departure. Booking said they were waiting on confirmation from the hotel, while the hotel told us we'd have to check out first and then request a refund from Booking by phone. Since that seemed very unlikely to actually work, we ended up stuck in our smelly & wet room for the full stay.
On the plus side: free parking (although full at night), a 24/7 accessible gym (key available at the front desk, everything fine except a broken exercise bike), and at $670 for 3 nights, it was one of the more affordable options in Oceanside — though without a pool or breakfast.
Overall, a hotel we can't recommend.

Pros:

Wifi, elevator, close to the main points of the attraction of the city (even if you need the car), coffee machine in the room

Cons:

The first night the room smelt bad and the humidity was huge. We informed the staff and they cleaned up better the room, the second night was better. Ice machine not available
