Rodeway Inn

Our rooms were spacious and nice but the pool was cold the exteriors shabby and the «continental breakfast» was a joke. Only had cereal not even toast and coffee and milk. The juice machine gave horrible watery orange juice. Oh and they had apples. That was it. Never seen such a poor excuse for a breakfast. Toasty o s or Raisin Bran whoopee.

WARNING! DO NOT BRING YOUR FAMILY HERE! This place is grade A disgusting. Upon checking into our room I discovered the blanket under the top blanket was covered in semen?, also a couple of squished boogers. The screen wss broken on the sliding door, the a/​c unit was obsolete and unreachable unless you climbed on the sink, the room smelled like smoke and musty god knows what, and there were cobwebs in the bathroom. Upon further research I found out this is a popular destination for nighttime transvestite hookers and people smoking meth. I learned from a local there was a sting here about years ago. Guess they haven’t changed. Worst hotel experience ever!!!

One star hotel service! Horrible Service! We were in oceanside for my wife’s birthday. We decided to stay here because they had ocean view! I did read all over there reviews and decided to give them a try anyway. We made reservations. Showed up late evening and got our key. We went to out room ! And someone was already inside and sleeping. My wife and I were shocked to open a room on someone else. Needless to say we scarred the people in the room. We went back to reception desk. And they issued me a different room that was the only other ocean view available and I was told it was more money. We paid extra for this room. No shower curtains. Room had trash. We were to disappointed. We asked for refund and they refused. Here some pictures wife took.

Great location with a compromise. I normally expect friendly and welcoming front desk staff… Not this place. They were very curt and rude. Ok it was only a two night stay. I can overlook the attitude.
Our room on the first floor was standard (TV, fridge, coffee maker, dresser), was clean and fairly comfortable, but smelled like cleaning solution and urine. The strong smell came from the bathroom. Motel 6 is nicer, but this is closer to the pier. The bathroom barely had enough soap for a shower. The tiny portion (barely enough for one person) was like a soap ration for two people.
Then the «continental breakfast»… Again with the rations! Coffee, a few fresh oranges and apples, cold cereal and a juice machine. I didn’t think there was enough to go around. It IS a close distance to the pier and beach. Parking was good – spacious lot.
In conclusion: I would rather pay more to stay at one of the other hotels and drive to the pier/​beach.

This place is a dump. The employees are rude. In order to get more towels you need to actually go to the front desk. Halls are seedy looking. Continental breakfast is not continental. No baked goods. My wife got a dirty look from the big Samoan working the front desk when she brought my son and niece for breakfast. Breakfast closes at 9:30. Crappy dumpy hotel.

This was the worst place I’ve ever stayed in. Filthy, disgusting, old, grouchy desk clerk, horrible food. Budget priced but this was like a 3^rd world hotel. Don’t stay here unless you wear rubber gloves and bring disinfectant to wipe done the place. Spend a few dollars more!

When we stayed there, it was grossly overpriced because of Comic-​Con. We paid $ 180 for something that is normally less than half of that. For $ 70 it would have been okay, and it is what it is. The staff was very nice, location and parking is great.

After staying a couple of nights here, I have to say it’s not too bad. First thing you notice when you walk in is the smell. But after awhile, you kinda just get use to it. The rooms are much bigger than I expected it to be, which, was a plus. The view out to the marina was probably the best thing. If it ever comes down to it, I may come back to stay here.

It’s close to the pier. Not walking distance but a few minute drive. THe lady that checked us in was super nice. We ordered pizza from a near by place and didn’t have plates. She gave us plates from her personal supplies and forks.
The rooms are big. The refrigerator actually kept things cold and the freezer did freeze water bottles. Plenty of towels. The swimming pool is not heated. It was pretty cold to get in even on a hot summer day. The breakfast is ok pretty typical cereal some fruit.
THe only bad thing was one bed was very uncomfortable. It was lopsided i kept rolling into it. THe pillows were ok.

My expirence was much different than some. The hotel has great ocean and marina views. The room was clean and spacious. The staff is kind and helpful. I would recommend to anyone looking for a 5 star view and central location on a 2 star budget.

Great spacious room. You get a good deal with the price you pay. Clean and sufficient room with view.

Everything negative written on this hotel is too nice! I travel extensively and have never stayed somewhere so insect infested with a rude and bigoted staff and overall dump. The comment about this being a haven for «working girls of the night» is spot on. Oh, and the guy shooting up with a needle in his arm in the rear stairway definitely adds to the overall experience. Don’t make the same mistake I did. I redeemed my rewards points so I didn’t spend a dime but still felt overcharged!!! When I first pulled up and saw it was located between a strip club and a closed down nightclub I should have just moved on. Unfortunately there were no other rooms in the immediate area. Trust me I checked after I saw the hotel. You have been warned!

Totally unacceptable business practices! DO NOT STAY HERE! Disgusting, dirty, loud and obnoxious staff right outside your window, cheap beds… have a «Do not disturb» sign? Too bad, it will be ignored, and NO BREAKFAST! They say coffee and continental breakfast, but it’s a lie. No matter what they say or promise you, do not believe it. It would be more satisfactory to sleep on the beach. Worst customer service. No one is there to speak to you who can do anything for you. STAY AWAY! STAY ANYWHERE ELSE! They also might charge your credit card for other peoples’ rooms, fyi.

Ok so after reading these reviews im really beginning to think these are just people who are looking for a free night or just cheap people who want their money back.
This hotel is in a great location right by the harbor and next to tons of other hotels.
Our room was king size bed and by the way the bed isn’t lumpy or old it’s pretty firm with tons of pillows. Also our bathroom is very clean no ants no bugs nothing and our fridge was very clean as well. Can’t complain the flat screen tv tons of channels for TV watching. are you even have coupons for restaurants in the area…
Don’t believe half of these reviews you see on here this hotel is a great place to say

Hotel seems to be very old. Bedding and bathroom linens were old and stained. Hated to wash my face with the washcloths. I chose it because it was right outside the gate of Camp Pendleton. It was very loud at night. There is nothing to prevent doors and gates from slamming. You could hear every step the people upstairs made. At 1:30 am it seems even louder. I won’t choose to stay there again.

Beware it’s a favorite place for working girls of the night to do business. After informing the management of the volume of traffic and being solicited with the offer of sex and crystal meth by two transgendered prostitutes, nothung was done. I returned to stay there agsin and the girls are still there.
Rodeway is the sex highway if you are into that sort of thing.

Nice clean room, great location, right next to the freeway and close to all the restaurants and bars and great customer service by Natalie. will definitely be coming back.

I am very unhappy, they did not respect my issue, i will never go again there

I got a room with a balcony and let me just say for a queen bedroom it was really small. Plus the balcony was by a bunch of trees so obviously we had bugs in our room such as mosquitoes and spiders. The carpet itself was filthy so filthy it made our feet black. The breakfast wasn’t that great just some cereal, oatmeal and some pastries. Oh and no coffee maker in the rooms. I had to go all the way across to the office and get more.
On a last note the day we were gonna check out my son and my husband decided to go swimming. Well they came back ten minutes later telling me that there were a bunch of bugs in there and it looked dirty. So long story short you get what you pay for.

If you are looking to just sleep somewhere for the night with no bells and whistles THIS IS THE PLACE. The room was decent. The bed was the worst part for me. It was lumpy, bumpy and oddly uneven. The curtains had so many holes in them due to old age. The «breakfast» was mainly juice, coffee and dry bread. Upon checking in there was a man in the parking lot that was walking around quite dirty and speaking loudly to himself while looking and jerking his body around. (He appeared to be on drugs) but that’s not for me to say. The front desk woman was friendly and efficient and the room had a small patio with chairs and a tiny table which I thought was pretty cool. Parking was ok as well.
