Best Western Plus Oceanside Palms

Best Western Plus Oceanside Palms

8/10 Good
"We had issues with our room card keys. Front desk gave us two cards when we checked in. Both cards did not work. Font dest re-programmed them only to find out that one of the two then worked. I had to go down and ask for two NEW cards. After that all worked. Room was very clean. Washroom and shower was great. Plenty of towels. Good water pressure and temperature. We asked for third floor (top level) Very quiet! Our hotel room door had a mechanism that did not allow the door to slam shut. LOVED it. For some reason, we heard only ONE other door on our floor slam shut. Not sure why other people do not think of other? Hotel was at a great location. Breakfast was very good and offered a nice variety of breakfast food. If you go "off hours" (earlier or later) it would probably hget less congested. We arrived just before 8 am and had no problem with access to food or finding a table. After 8 am it got crowded, so we were happy to have gone earlier. Staff at front desk are very kind even though we had the "key" issue."

10/10 Excellent
"First of all, the views are spectacular! The views of the ocean is what I come to the ocean for because i rarely get in the water. So, to have the views of the ocean laying in bed instead of the hot, hard sand is a no brainer! The staff is very informative and friendly. And the suite that i have is cozy and romantic! The no AC is totally not a factor because opening the double doors to let the fresh air and breeze in takes your experience of tranquility to another level! The hotel is older, well kept and theres nothing that a little elbow grease can't fix! My husband loves the beach so i brought him here for his birthday! This hidden gem is located on a peninsula that gives a little seclusion and we enjoy the privacy! We love it so much that I am going to try to see if they have availability to extend our stay!"
