Multiple reports of restaurant trash left in place and missed room cleaning requests; some rooms described as humid and with leaking shower—overall cleanliness appears below average.
Service
9
Mixed feedback: several mentions of excellent service and 'nice staff', but also multiple failures (unresponsive staff, missed cleaning, billing issues). Overall perception skewed positive due to strong service experiences in some stays.
Location
9.4
Consistently praised: walking distance to the beach, near the train station, central to shops, restaurants and entertainment—location is a major positive.
Room Quality
6.6
Rooms frequently described as very small; issues reported include humidity, a leaking shower and a non-working TV, though beds were noted as very comfortable.
Amenities
8.9
Positive mentions of a lounge bar and convenient proximity; negatives include parking permit/lot availability problems and a broken TV—overall amenities are good but with notable service/maintenance gaps.
Value for Money
9.2
Several guests called it outstanding value and said they would rebook; some billing/parking issues reduced perceived value for a few, but overall value impression is strongly positive.
Food and Beverage
8.7
Food and service in the restaurant were described as excellent by some guests, but repeated reports of trash on the restaurant floor lowered the score slightly.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall impressions trend positive (many would rebook, excellent location and good service/food), tempered by cleanliness, room size and some service lapses.

Pros:

the location near the train station and the beach was great

Cons:

the room was very humid.
the staff wasn't very functional,
I asked for room cleaning, nobody came.
I paidd for a parking permit and spot from the hotel but it accrued two times that the lot was full with cars that didnt had a permit.
there where planned roadworks in the ally from the parking lot but the staff of the hotel forgot to inform us.

Outstanding value!
Pros:

I loved it! The location was central to shops, restaurants, entertainment, the beach; just everything. I am booked to stay again in just a few days; I liked it that much.

Cons:

There was trash on the floor of the restaurant both days that I ate there and it was the same trash from the day before and in the same location. However, the service was excellent as well-as the food.

Absolutely AMAZING Hotel!!!!!
Pros:

We absolutely LOVE this place!!!! Staff was extremely friendly and made us feel so welcomed. This hotel looks newly updated with such a cute personality. It was exceptionally clean and beyond comfortable!!!! The bathroom was very clean and fully stocked. They provided us with beautiful white robes, slippers, beach towels, delicious snacks, and water as well! If you stay in Oceanside, THIS is definitely the hotel to stay in! Everything is walking distance, beach 10 mins, excellent food 2-5 mins, and the Coaster 8 mins walk! I cannot say enough about this hotel! Especially after being treated SO POORLY at the Oceanside Marina Waterfront! Im so happy we left THAT terrible hotel and came here to The Fin. We found our perfect hotel!!

Okay for the money. Not sure I’d stay again
Pros:

Close to beach

Cons:

A/C was a bit loud and WiFi was very slow
Would’ve been nice to have at least one window to open.

Pros:

Le resto
Propreté
Mini frigot et machine à café

Cons:

Tv endommagée, une lampe côté lit ne fonctionnait pas, pourtant signalé à l’arrivée rien n’a été fait durant notre séjour. Chambre au rdc (pas d’ascenseur) Vue sur la rue donc si on veut de l’intimité faut baisser les rideaux pas de voilage !
Insonorisation inexistante on entend les colocataires parler se doucher ou éternuer ! Heureusement clientèle calme ou comme nous compréhensive du coup on faisait le moins de bruit possible. Surprise du parking payant à 28$ la nuit non indiqué à l’arrivée mais surprise sur la facture !
