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

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

Let me say we are sorry for the parking and children running around. WE have parking in front of the hotel and in our 2nd lot which is 100 feet away across the street. All of our parking is free unlike most of the other hotels on the beachfront which charge for parking. During some of the city wide events... More

Thank you for the great comments and I totally agree that the higher you are in the hotel the better view of the beach and fishing pier. But every room has a great view and the dolphin families have returned and can be seen from any guest room along with the restaurant/bar/pool and fitness room in the mornings and afternoons.... More
