I found the staff helpful at the front desk. The rooms are nice and clean. The only downside was the breakfast...a bit pricey at $12 plus it doesn't open until after 7 am which is difficult for people with early morning meetings. I would stay here again the view and location is great.

I hosted a group outing for my 13 employees and their spouses over the weekend and this hotel met all of our expectations. It is clean and recently renovated. It's true that their parking lot is small, but their overflow lot is only a quarter of a block away and it was a very short walk and it was never... More

We arrived at the hotel to check inn, the parking lot is EXTREMELY SMALL! We had the park a block away and walk with our luggage to the hotel. Personally when I pay almost $300 for a room I shouldn't have to walk a block to my hotel! At the parking lot we had to park in that also was... More

We at the Oceanside Holiday Inn are very sorry for the parking and housekeeping issue you encountered during your last stay. The parking situation at the beach front for all hotels is the same. everyone has off site parking and now most of them will start charging for guests to park but we will not. The parking attendant is there... More

We recently stayed the weekend at the Holiday Inn 21st street. I am very picky about cleanliness and am happy to say that I could find nothing to complain about. The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly and helpful. The staff went above and beyond when they loaned flashlights to my partner and son so they could write... More

Thank you for staying with us for your Mothers Day and I am very proud of the staff as well. Everyone in the hotel enjoyed the writing on the beach and I noticed the next day every hotel had someone writing to someone else a special greeting as well. Hope to see you again before your next Mothers Day. More

Stayed here one night while in town on business. Excellent service and happy greeting from front desk staff. Beautiful views, easy access to property, just steps to the sand!

Thank you for the positive feedback about the hotel and staff. Hopefully, you can make it down here on a vacation and be able to relax longer next time. The weather has greatly improved and the ocean has started to warm up as well. This is the best time of year since the beach is only slightly busy and there... More

This hotel was recently remodeled and has the best beds along the beach. The rooms are beautiful and vibrant. The service is impeccable. Onur Guduk is the front desk manager and is exceptional. He worked at another location and when I found out he had moved property's I followed. He always recognizes me and knows my preferences. He exemplifies excellence!... More

Thanks for the great feedback about the hotel and most of all Onur. We were very happy when he decided to move from North Beach to our hotel. Since his move to the Oceanside Holiday Inn we have noticed an increase in our guest satisfaction scores because of his leadership at the front desk. Thank you again for your comments... More

Stayed at this property for a Friday-Saturday night at the very early beginning of the season. The hotel seems to have been rennovated recently (perhaps last year?) and is in excellent condition. The heated saltwater pool was a treat for my kids. The breakfast service was excellent - very good fresh fruit and well managed buffet items. My family also... More
