Beachwood Motel

Is this the Ritz Carlton? No. Does Beachwood deserve 5-stars for what it is? YES!!! It's a little run down and could use a few upgrades like new windows, but for the price point and thoughtfulness Beachwood would be hard to beat.

We actually stayed at the nearby Motel 6 our first night in the area because we wanted to have a look at this place before committing (the call placed was a little challenging due to accents). We moved the next day and never looked back! The rooms are each different and we had the big end unit, but for about the same cost as Motel 6 we had the equivalent of a small one bedroom apartment...a block and a half from the beach! Melody and Sam, the owners, are very sweet, delightfully attentive - and still manage to leave guests alone until something's needed. They strike a great balance between service and facilitating relaxation... Not easy! The *only* negatives are the nearby train ( but that's a hazard of the entire area and faded into the background pretty quickly) and a lack of air conditioning (between fans and windows we weren't ever too hot even in August).

There was initial uncertainty about the Service Dog, but mostly it was just unfamiliarity. A smidge of educating and assuring Melody that there wouldn't be dog-damage was all it took. Oddly enough, I think it was a first for them! Sam turned out to be a dog-lover. Lol!

If I could do zero star, I would the rooms are disgusting. The bathroom door was a curtain and a top it all off. They double charged my card and the owner or receptionist won't refund my money stay far away from this place.

My family and I have stayed in the motel suite many times in the past years. Motel is right next to the beach and we have always felt safe staying there. So We had reservations for this weekend and on the way there, we had a family emergency. I had to cancel 30 minutes before check-in. The owner was very understanding and did not charge me anything!! May they be blessed abundantly for their kindness. Thank you!!

Ignore the other reviews , yall gotta read before you post a review .. its a MOTEL yall expecting hotel standards lol dont like it dont stay here ! Perfect everytime i go , love this motel ty

some may beg to differ, however the Beachwood in Motel has been nothing but good to my wife and I. Yes there is sketchy people around the corner yes there's a train, but that's all over Oceanside. The staff is excellent I am in fact ended up doing a long-term stay here and never had one problem from the staff as long as I paid my rent on time... We're talking six months here people!Anyway Miss Melanie and Mr. Sam are the caretakers/owners and they are awesome they'll let you know when they have a problem and leave you alone when there's not. And the beach is less than 60 second walk from my front door! What more could you want. If you're trying to get away from somebody or some thing this might be a good place to consider!

The place is very inexpensive. No ac but they have fans and ocean breez. The property managers are kind and helpfull.
They do have units with refrigerator and microwave. Over all it nice and very close to the beach

Giving two stars because the receptionist was atleast friendly.. My experience was horrendous here. Paid almost $100 for a room and couldn't sleep at all because the train blew by all night honking it's horn. There were people that loitered outside this motel that appeared to be on meth. You know, giant dilated pupils, skinny, pacing, chain smoking, and super unkempt. My window didn't even have a curtain so after getting out of the shower I'm sure these people saw me. My room was small with no ac (just a beat up box fan) and I just feel plain ripped off.

Scanky motel with more than half the rooms being occupied by welfare recipients. I am embarrassed that I recommended it to friends who wanted a 1960's older motel. Room rug was filthy! Everything old and threadbare. It smells like cheap sanitizer, marijuana (from the local residents), and also - dare I say it(?!) Desperation. Not a deal at any price!

Just to be clear , this is 5 stars for old motel that got new manager and working very hard to make things better.
I wanted to get some time off to get back into surfing again with out freez in San Francisco water so I drove to San Diego and stop on the way at Ocean side.

I found this place on the way and had hard time to decide if I want to spend the night here and I m glad I did .

It's old building with old windows, blue carpet, the bathroom need to be remodel and the old TV remind me of my grand mother house and on top of that , there is a train sound every once of a while so you are probably wondering , this is all bad stuff , why should we come here?

Well , this is why
The place is super clean
You can't bit the location , one minute from the beach, great restaurants close by and walking on the pear is awesome ( u can get a coffee in the end )
Safe to stay
Under $100 a night in the weekend
And the owner is super sweet, warm and make you feel at home.

Highly recommended

Bed was very old and the room was not tidy. The few furnishing in the room was very outdated. The main door was not secured and looked rundown. Small room for the price with limited/lack of amenities. Parking is limited. I will never use their services. The lady at the front was very nice though.
