Coast Inn

I was lucky enough to get a room close to the highway, which was very clean and well decorated/​furnished. I didn’t experience any of the problems noted in other reviews (mold, dirt, etc.) and found the overall experience very comfortable. There is full cable and good water pressure. It is true that there are very marginal folks living in the back rooms (I’m guessing sex workers and people using and/​or dealing street drugs daily) and I saw someone trying to break into cars in the parking lot. I’m pretty hearty so I was able to mind my own business but I would have felt very uncomfortable staying in a room near them and definitely wouldn’t recommend this place for families with young children. There’s no coffee makers in the room and the housekeeping is inconsistent (i.e. not every day). But if I could get the same room, I’d stay there again as it is a very good value.

The photos do not accurately represent this motel. This is the dirtiest place I have ever seen. We showed up, looked at the room, and immediately left for the motel 6 down the road. Blood stains, no blankets, cigarette smoke, no additional outlets, exposed wires, no soap, door did not close completely, bleach smell etc. I feel like people have been murdered and done sacrificial satanic rituals in multiple rooms inside this crackhead, roach infested Bates Motel. STAY AWAY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTRACT BED BUGS.

This place is dirty. They have roaches and rats. Bed bugs problem. Its soo nasty stay away from here. Lots of people here do drugs and pass out in the parking lot. DO NOT GO HERE. MY FAIR WARNING. Kevin the indian guy he is a crook. He is the owner that lives there.

Booking this room was one of my worst travel experiences ever. The hotel was grossly misrepresented and disgusting. I gave the front desk my credit card and id upon arrival only to find my reserved room was dirty, had a horrible smell, A/​C not working, pillows soiled and a dripping faucet. Additionally there were transient permanent residents living in deplorable conditions on the same property. I informed the attendant of my concerns and their misrepresentations and demanded to cancel my reservation and provide a refund. They refused. We left forfeiting our payment. This place is a nightmare… I’d rather stay at The Bates Motel!

Horrible place to stay, dirty and smelly. Disgusting stained pillows! We asked for other pillows and they said they didn’t have, we asked for a refund and they refused. We left! Stay away if you can!

this place is disgusting! my son and i are being checked for bedbugs!
*shady characters all around who live in there
*homeless people who are right in front of my room all night
*people yelling and banging around all night
*operator didn’t answer phone calls
*cockroaches
*dumpster with disgusting beds laying against them right outside the room.
*dumpster smell in the room
* old food and trash on the floor when we moved the nightstands to plug stuff in
*hanging & exposed electrical wires
* wifi kept disconnecting and then was super slow
* 2 guest, 3 pillows. i requested another pillow. they said no.
* no soap or shampoo
i am calling the ca health department to inspect this property.

worst place ever! stupid me reserved a room by phone without even knowing this place and its surroundings paid $ 140 by phone when i got there omg! ugly and ghetto asf! i repeat i do not recommend this place i got so upset literally the room was ugly asf! to small no table, no remote control, no toilet paper, no soap, no towels, one pillow, refrigerator had mold, transparent curtains, sheets and covers with stains, no a/​c hot asf! ghetto to its highest! i demanded my money back started arguing with the «office» if that is what they call it. after arguing 20 minutes only refunded me half! i called police i was so disappointed at them for not wanting to refund my own money that i paid for a ditty shitty place they offer city should closed this place seriously!

At first my husband and I thought this motel was decent for the price although it’s obvious that they also rent some of their rooms to people who otherwise couldn’t get any other housing. My husband is in law enforcement and he noticed these people were hanging around outside in their rooms with multiple people than what should have been in a room with one bed. You know, shady characters. Some of these mom and pop motels like to rent rooms to people when they don’t receive a lot of motel business so they rent rooms like they would an apartment. However, this was not our the biggest problem. We paid for 3 days and 2 nights and on the second day my husband and I were relaxing in the room around 1130 or 12 noon up but not ready to get the day started when there was a knock on the door. One of the owners which we didn’t know was the owner at this time asked if we were checking out. Without opening the door I told her no and we weren’t checking out until the following day. She told me that no we were scheduled to check out and she was going to verify that then she demanded that I open the door. So I told her no I wasn’t going to open the door. Then the craziest thing happened she tried to use her master key to open the damn door! I was at the door holding the handle while this crazy b was trying to open the door. When she realized she wasn’t going to get in she walked away with out another word. She didn’t know that both myself and my husband were naked but she probably wouldn’t have cared anyway. I immediately threw on some clothes and went to the office to report her when I found out she was the owner from the other owner which was her husband. I told him what happened but this jerk didn’t even care he actually dismissed me and went back into the bowels of the office without a word or anything where they had about 5 kids because they were all hanging outside the door, so unprofessional. Anyway I walked away and saw that lady and gave her a piece of my mind about how she should have the right room first but also she just can’t walk in the room call the freakin police. She realized she messed up badly but the damage was done. Both my husband and I are are fairly well traveled with us both being prior military and we have never experienced anything remotely close to this bs. Word of advice. If you decide to go to this place keep on your clothes because you never know who might try to walk in without permission.

Family and I jump in the car a decided to do a mini family vacation. we ended up in Oceanside when looking for a hotel we new we would be in trouble because it was Valentines day. My husband likes to stay at the big fancy hotels I’m ok with smaller ones. We called all the hotels everything was book. We found this place one night at a dencent price the room was clean the staff was friendly. The other guest are a little sketchy. I belive I saw two prostitutes durining my one night visit. Very loud past ten in the parking lot. I feel bad for the owners of this establishment because they are so nice and accommodating. It’s ok for one night but I wouldn’t want to stay any longer. It’s not a horrible place but not a great place either. next family road trip I’ll plan it better not on Valentine’s day and have a reservation at a larger hotel where it’s a little more family friendly environment.

It’s now a Morel 6 and is very much like the one on Carlsbad Blvd right off the 5. Good deal on rooms, nice staff. Kevin is the manager

This place was great for the money. 75.00 got us a very nice room, other than the road noise from passing cars it was quiet and the staff was very very nice. So I would recommend the deluxe room to anyone that would like a nice place to sleep. It’s not the Ritz but I liked it very much.

Almost the worst motel I’ve ever been too. I’m embarrassed to say that I spent 2 nights here. Dirty, old, rooms with a lower rate comparably to others.
I will spend a little more 2 doors down, but its not much nicer! At least they let me use my BBQ grill!
