Horrible Place to stay not worth it at all, got in the staff was good however the room was discussing. It smelled like an animal was living there and had peed all over. The bedding had cigarette burns and the sheets weren’t changed found animal hair in them.

Dated. Needs new everything.

I means it’s Super 8, if I wanted fancier I would have booked fancier. I thought what I paid for and what I got were equal. I took off a star because the shorty lady who checked me in didn’t communicate with me well (no language barrier, just not thorough articulation). After getting my room and opening the door to no sheets/​messy sheets and a couple 40s all over. I asked for a room that was ready and received one. I thought this was a great «Welcome to California».
It’s a safe area, lots of out of towners and a Saturday night Quinceañera that rocked on. I’m all about that stuff, looking like they was having a blast. Last, but best the check out guy!!! Sorry the chicken wasn’t good but I’ll take you any day!!! Them curly locks!!! Eyyyyyy

If here’s a less than one star they would get it. You will wonder why after a bad stay in Jan or Feb 2016 why we try again, well its right close to our nephew’s place after a busy day and my husband has trouble driving at night we tried again. NEVER again. The desk clerk was ok, but the night female mgr was nasty and rude wouldn’t get us a room away from the street well she would for an upgrade for $ 15 more. After we said that we wouldn’t stay there the 2^nd night they up the charge by another $ 20 that what was quoted. Place is in disrepair. If you have children be very careful if you stay there as some of the clients that were staying there questionable Also On my credit card they had charged the full amt for 2 nights on the first night that we stayed there, before we had even checked out. They did an adjustment 2 days later.

Where to begin, truly I wish I could leave negative stars; be it the constant stream of prostitutes marching through the lobby soliciting ANYONE that moved (staff, customers including mothers and children, people obviously with family) as the poor girl at check in, sloppily put together, just ignored it as she yelled at hotel guest that they would only be without running water for two more hours «shit man» her words not mune, then she proceeded to slam the phone down. As we informed her of our reservation we inquired about the water issue and we’re assured that the power would not be shut off… not the water but the electricity.. as her attitude escalated we informed her that we could not stay in a hotel with no water and seemingly in the near future no electricity as well, as she shortly responded «well I already charged you the deposit». Deposit? I paid with credit, not cash or debit, the facility clearly states that credit does not require a deposit (as they have your credit information) as we began to argue that we were not going to pay a deposit and wanted to cancel our room before we even had a chance to check in she says «what ever, deal with it or leave» and threw the unsigned paperwork at us. We left OBVIOUSLY and surprise surprise, we are still being charged, after a $ 190 cab ride home the next morning we are disputing it and what does the bank say super 8 says «we are still in the room». Somehow 100 some odd miles away we are putting hudini to shame being here and there. Please PLEASE AVOID this shambles of a hotel.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! The rooms were ok but the place was scary. We checked in and on our way to pool there were 4 cop cars doing a drug bust. One hour later a drug deal went down right in front of our kids. There was a naked man in a window staring at our kids. Gangs started hanging out in the parking lot. Customer service was terrible!!! We left right away. NOT SAFE! Do not stay here!!!

Note1:
they will keep your drivers license & casually put it in a drawer with all the others. Be sure to ask for your I.D. back!
Note 2:
if you don’t answer the door (locked or not) for house keeping, they’ll come in with the front desk staff. Thank god I was clothed & on my way out anyways!
I give 1 star because my experience was horrible. However, if you’re looking for a drug haven, this is your
5star hotel. Enjoy! The shower is luke warm at best, it’s basically like taking a cool shower. Yes I woke up today to another cold shower, room 140. I should be paid to stay here!
Note 3: sure they have great water pressu but it’s frigid water! This place should be torn down… Deanna at the front desk… You’re a real charmer! Thanks for insisting I wait till my room is inspected. Trust me, I could wipe my butt with the drapes & do more than $ 20 in damages but you have bigger problems!

Let me begin by stating this place is a total piece of crap!
Booked this Labor Day weekend stay through Hotwire. Paid additional $ 15 per night pet fee totalling an additional $ 60 on arrival, no problem.
We walk up the dirty, crooked stairs to the second floor (why is the pet room on the second floor???) making our way through cigarette butts and a junkie on a bike, asking for cash. The room stunk so bad I wanted to gag & was sooooo hot! We tuned on the A/​C & brought our things in and sat down and looked around. Phone unplugged on the floor, TV didn’t turn on, fridge on the dirty carpet and completely rusted at the base, no hairdryer no coffee maker like their website states. The bathroom had a burned toilet seat and hair on the «clean towels». The room stayed hot and we sat and looked at each other. I went down to the desk to see if there was a non smoking room as my daughter has asthma and I got an instant headache from the stink. The girl at the desk said I booked through Hotwire and so I should call them if I had an issue. I asked if a non smoking room was available and she said for $ 50 more per night I could get a queen room with 1 bed… ummm with 2 adults, 2 dogs and 1 child… This hotel is not worth $ 50 per week let alone as an additional fee! The girl at the front desk is a pretentious b* who needs to learn a little bit about something called customer service! You are aware there are sights like Unilocal,right???
I called Hotwire who called the hotel directly and didn’t get any further than I got.
Horrible customer service!
We got stuck staying at this dump because it was a holiday weekend.
That night, we found tears in the blankets& after the room was «cleaned» the next day, we were left without any towels…
Update:
I have washed our clothes and duffle bags twice since returning home and they still smell like we’ve been on a Vegas bender for the last month!
I’ll spare you the boring details of the constant smell of people smoking pot and the crack heads riding their bikes near our cars asking for money…
At least the owner got a safe parking space in the front of the hotel, under the lights, so his Lexus would be safe…
RUN, Don’t walk!!!

Nice little hotel. Beds were comfy, room was decorated nicely & great water pressure in the shower. Comfortable and provided amenities that some bigger chains sometimes don’t; fridge, m/​wave. Great price too!

i only gave a star so i could comment … this place does not deserve any star… it sucks!!!
do not stay in this motel! its better to sleep in your car at the rest area by the freeway!
service? what service? this place doesnt know the definition of service. a total change of management is a must. or better yet, just close it down!

Completely agree with every other 1 star review on here.
They at least get a 1 star rating instead of zero due to with their wifi availability and fast connection. (Also, you can’t give zero stars to a business, oh well) Too bad I’m writing this review using their wifi network.
Booked a non-​smoking room — staff argues with you insisting we got a smoking room.
I mean I used to have asthma problems but whatever… The first thing I encounter when I opened the door to my room is the slapping stench of cigars with a poorly desperate attempt of masking it with air freshener. Well, it smelled like a goddamn Vegas casino in my room. The only difference is that I would’ve earned money gambling instead of losing my money at this hotel with barely any accommodations.
No hair dryer. It’s not for me, it’s for my mom’s hair. This is the first hotel I’ve been to without a hair dryer. Oh well, I guess my mom just has to squeeze the sh*t out of her hair to get the water out. Good luck, mom.
The unprofessional conduct of the employees makes me wonder if they just hate working here or what. We call in to ask for a dryer (which they did not have) and extra towels. We get an irritated response of «I’ll see if I can give you more towels because we have a lot of guests today…» Ummm, so is it the customer’s fault for the management’s lack of supply? You’re a hotel for f***‘s sake, you mean to tell me you don’t stock up on extra towels? Oh that’s right maybe you keep an inadequate amount because you never know if there are going to be a lot of people staying at this 1 star hotel.
Oh I forgot to mention, phones inside the room are just useless props. They do not work.
There are hookers lurking close to the proximity of the hotel. By that I mean, in front of the hotel on the streets hiding in the shadows looking to strike some poor bastard. (or rich in different perspective). Not the hotel’s fault but I thought the future clients of this failing establishment deserve to know.
Hopefully, this place becomes better. I know I sound like a complete d-​bag but c’mon management of Super 8 Oceanside. Don’t you want to improve the business to get more income? There’s this thing called Unilocal where people experience sh*t for you so you get a firsthand impression of how the business looks as a whole.
On the bright side, I standby my first statement. Fast wifi connection. Okay, done ranting about this excuse of a hotel. Going to post this using their internet now. Bye.

I have previously stayed here. The hotel is dirty, roaches are in the halls. spiders and dust all over the place. Not to mention when i got into my room, the front desk girl told me my room needed to be switched because she made an error and gave me the wrong room. when i went into my correct room, it was dirty. and kind of smelled like smoke. The breakfast they give in the morning was ok, just a quick bite. one of my cinnamon buns had a hair on it though. The people staying next to my room were obviously smoking weed all night. I complained, and the management didn’t seem to care or do anything. I don’t recommend coming here, unless you have no standards.

The lady in the front desk was extremely disrespectful and refused to give my deposit back. And barely spoke any english

So where to begin. First, in full disclosure, I have never stayed at this motel. I’ve been in frequent communication with them over the past couple days trying to arrange use of their conference room for a business training I have coming up. I was enticed to book here because when I first called they quoted me a rate of $ 200 per day for use of their conference room. Other legitimate hotels in the area (Springhill Suites, Best Western) were quoting me between $ 225 and $ 275 per day, and even though super eight is a considerable step down the location was convenient. Anyway, so it was more or less set to go at $ 200 for the day and I asked them to just send me an email confirming the amount with whatever necessary paperwork for me to fill out. Lo and behold the email never comes, so I call back over there and get somebody brand-​new who asks if I want to book the conference room for my Quinceanera. I explained that I was simply waiting on an email to confirm something I had already discussed, and she told me they would send the email promptly. Yet again I never received any email but finally get a phone call from another brand-​new person from Super 8 the next day shortly before 5 PM. She acted as if I had never spoken to anybody there before and informed me that the daily rate was now $ 600. For a conference room. At Super 8 motel. In spite of me trying to explain what had been previously discussed AND explaining that much more legitimate establishments were much, much cheaper she was not budging. All three employees I spoke to were similar to talking to someone from the movie «Idiocracy». In the end, I didn’t pay anything out-​of-​pocket but they wasted so much of my time.

I realize that I did not pay to stay at the Ritz-​Carlton. However, when I give my money (regardless of how much of it) to a hotel, there are 2 things that are non-​negotiable… cleanliness and good customer service. This hotel has neither.
When I checked in at 9:45 pm after a long day at LegoLand with two very tired small kids, the first thing my son did was run to go potty. When we stepped into the bathroom, there were DOZENS if not HUNDREDS of bugs everywhere, on the floor/​walls/​toilet/​shower curtain. As soon as we turned on the light, they scattered, but I managed to get my phone out quick enough to get pictures of at least 10 – 12 of them. I immediately called the front desk and was eventually told that they would switch us rooms. I explained that I had two small kids and I was by myself and I couldn’t lug everything out to the lobby (we were in a separate building) and asked if it would be possible for them to bring me the key. The front desk girl brought it fairly quickly I will admit, but when she got there, she has also brought her attitude. LOTS of eye rolling and sarcastic comments. I was told that the new room was in yet another building, and upstairs (with no elevator.) I explained again that I could not lug the luggage, the kids, and my bad knees up stairs, and was told that I was out of luck, as that was the ONLY available room in the entire hotel. After some more eye rolling, she told me I could call the front desk and talk to the manager if I didn’t like it.
The manager miraculously found me a room, just two doors down. The same girl returned with the key and after yet more eye rolling informed me, in a snotty tone, that she had already checked the new room and it was fine. I told her that I seriously doubted that a room that close had no bugs at all, as there were so many in my room, that disappeared into cracks and behind carpeting, and was given more attitude about how she’d «already told me… there are no other rooms available.»
I got moved into the new room, and called the 1 – 800 customer service number to complain about the service. They placed me on hold and contacted the manager directly. When they came back to the line they told me that the manager had stated that I was welcome to check out right now (at 11 pm) if I wanted a full refund and I could find myself somewhere else to stay. Again, this is the poor customer service I am talking about. I did not hear the tone in which this was said, but it is ridiculous to tell a customer with a valid complaint that they can just get out if they don’t like it.
I called the manager again directly to complain about the service and this statement and he told me «If you don’t like it, leave. If you stay, you pay.» I never asked for a refund, though at least a partial refund should have been offered, had this hotel ever heard of customer service. I stated this to the manager who said to me «well we don’t have money to just give you a refund if you are going to stay here. You can leave if you want but good luck finding somewhere else.» He then stated that I had checked in at 8 pm (I checked in at 9:45,) and that if I was unhappy I shouldn’t have waited so long to call. I explained that I in fact had only checked in about an hour ago, and had spent that entire time switching rooms and being on the phone about this issue.
Ultimately, I am still here, as my kids had fallen asleep, but had I been alone, I most DEFINITELY would have preferred to check out and take the refund and sleep in my car if I had to.
Aside from the bugs, the hotel is disgusting. There is white crunchy stuff all over the furniture and walls. There are nasty sticky spills on the carpet, the bathroom was filthy, the room was not at all tidy. I probably will not sleep tonight, as I want to make sure no bugs crawl on my babies.
Like I said, I know you «get what you pay for» however, what I paid for was a predictably sparse, yet expectantly clean and livable room. I did not receive this. What I paid for was a front desk staff who would treat me as a paying customer, and be polite and attempt to conceal their disdain. I did not receive this. What I ended up paying for was basically 10 hours in a slum.
I have photos, I will try to add them.

It’s not the best hotel but worked out fine for us and our 2 boys spending the weekend at legoland /​the ocean is super close. It’s a great location. The prosititution is pretty obvious but I’m no hater as long as it’s discreet and not disturbing us it’s fine … Charged us for a whole mother day just to checkin early … But they don’t hold a deposit on your card and I booked through hotwire I’d stay here again just because it’s convenient .
–Edit–
OK NEVERMIND THE SERVICE IS SHIT ! THE IDIOT WOMEN AT THE FRONT DESK GOT AN ATTITUDE AND LIED ABOUT CHANGING MY SHEETS AFTER MY 5 year old had an accident /​they just remade the sheets like we weren’t going to notice or the smell of the room !!! So I took the sheets off and put them in the hallway for the maids to get and pretty soon I get a call from her with an attitude asking me not to do that ! FUCK YOU ! And your nasty hotel !!! How unsanitary is that ! I would have just changed the DANM sheets myself but they refused to give me new linens ! That place is not a family friendly motel anyway. It’s only good for the hookers and pimps hanging around in their car waiting for them to get out of their dates … LMAO bunch of cheap hoes and half asked wanna be pimps run this hotel and the owners let it all go on, they obviously must be desperate to fill up rooms to let anything and anyone get away with that bs. Bunch of crack head hookers hanging around SMH

I had a not so good experience over the phone with Arnold. I was going to San Diego festival and decide 2 days before the festival, which was memorial day weekend that I am not driving back home. I looked for a few hotels they were all booked and Marty’s was the only thing available. So I booked the hotel without Unilocaling first. Bad me.
Now, that I am booked I decided to read the reviews on Unilocal and t*** advisor, and most of them were not so good. So, I tried to cancel on line but, I couldn’t, so I decided to call and I spoked to Arnold and I asked how is the motel. He said, sarcastily, cutting me off and talking real fast. It’s great, I worked here. It’s 5 stars to me.
(I am not mad at what he said it’s how he said it) I asked were there any pest? He said, honey check t*** advisor I said, I’ve checked Unilocal and t*** advisor, thats why I am calling because the reviews weren’t so good. I said, can you just tell me about the motel?. He said, what ever on the site about the motel is what it is. So I emailed the hotel and asked to speak to upper management. I am furious now so I called back I spoke to someone named Dean. He was very nice and pleasant. He answered all my concerns. He stated, we are upgrading all the time, we have put some flat screens, new carpet and a few other amenities. We still have some older furniture in some rooms, but it is nice and clean. He made me feel so much better. The manager (I think his name was Josh) called me back the sameday I emailed him, to address my concerns and apologized for my bad experience with Arnold over the phone. I also mentioned I had a great experience with Dean over the phone who addressed all my concerns.
I checked in Saturday night. And the ladies at the front desk were very nice. and helpful.
The facility is maintained well. I didn’t see anyone hanging out. The rooms were very cleaned and looks just like the picture. I got the room with double beds. The beds were comforyable, i slept all night. My friend said, she heard some noise, to my surprise I was sleep. I never sleep well and I hear everything. So I am gone blame it on her intoxication. Lol.
So overall my experience was great and the staff is professional and concernef about their customers concerns.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS MOTEL. IT IS A HOTSPOT FOR DRUG AND PROSTITUTION. THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP 10 WORST SPOTS IN OCEANSIDE! DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE!
There isn’t a rating low enough for this dump. The only thing going for this place is one single employee, at the front desk, Maria. If I opened a business in the area I would ask her to come work for me. She is conscientious, helpful, and an asset to this destitute «motel».
Where to begin, there are cockroaches in plain sight in the rooms. After checking in my cousin spotted one crawling the walls. Everything is stale, outdated and nowhere near clean. This place used to be a local icon restaurant and has become the headquarters for the scourge of the earth.
One thing positive, a good percentage of the local $ 40 street hookers have moved out of north Oceanside — down side, they have moved right here to the Valley and Super 8. It is so blatantly obvious that a good number of the inhabitants are prostitutes. There are drug deals happening regularly in the parking lot and the management has to be aware of the ongoing problem. It has been reported by the neighboring apartment residents yet nothing occurs. The Super 8 residents, some «living» there for months on end advertise on local outlets for sexual favors and trades and do their business from their rooms at this establishment. It is no secret and has been an ongoing practice. The management and the local police must be aware of the ongoing activities as there is quite a reputation for the property which is evidenced easily by driving by the property at any hour of the day or night.
My daughter used to attend the adjacent daycare and has since been removed due to the blatant activities that I have witnessed. My housekeeper lives in the apartments and has endless daily stories of what occurs outside her bedroom window. She has notified management and I have called management at her request when an incident involves her children being exposed to drug sales out in the open daytime.
This has become another of the hotspots for illegal street activity that used to plague Oceanside and is now slowly leaking into our more residentail neighborhoods and off the fabled Hill St. It should be shut down or sanctioned and made to comply. Quite obviously it will not be cleaned up by the management on their own accord.

My fiancé and I stayed here when I was visiting. He is a Marine at Camp Pendleton and this was close to base, but far enough away that it felt like a get away for him as well.
The room was a good size– beds comfortable. Overall the the hotel is a little worn on the edges, but nice. We had a problem with our key cards and had to get them fixed three or four times. The parking was a little tight for a larger car, but we always found a spot.
The staff was nice– I had to request a late check out time of 1300 and they were very accommodating to this request. There is a few places to eat within walking distance and a little thrift store right next door if you need something to read by their pool.
All in all– a nice, affordable place to stay. I’d stay here again.
