The Seabird Resort

Oceanside, San Diego

Star rating

The hotel

Just steps away from the white sands and surfboards of Southern California, the Seabird Resort is a coastal estate in which you can relax, eat and drink, and get pampered to your hearts content. The hotel offers a beach concierge service with chairs, umbrellas and other essential supplies for you. The standard rooms are spacious, plenty of which offer ocean views - but if you're travelling as a larger group then the suites offer expansive balconies, large soaking tubs, and that extra bit of luxury for your stay. At the Shore Room you'll find iconic views, ocean delicacies, and craft cocktails - often accompanied by live acoustic music sets on 'Sparkling Sundays'. Sunny's Spa and and Beauty Lounge is on hand, whatever treatment you may be after, or relaxing on the chaise lounges around the pool could be enough for you! The hotel is next door to the sister resort, Mission Pacific Hotel, which offers a rooftop bar with live DJ sessions if you're looking for a more lively evening out.

At no point did anyone volunteer to help with baggage -- neither the valets nor the staff at the front desk. No bellhops to be found. Upon arrival, there was a huge and very loud wedding reception crowd in the lobby and surrounding areas. It was challenging even to hear the staff upon check-in, and I didn't feel at all relaxed as one would hope after an 8-hour door-to-door trip to a seaside resort. While texting with hotel staff was convenient, you then get bombarded by constant advertising, which was annoying. The pool area was packed with small children who had taken over the jacuzzi as well. There is no desk or chair in the room, which would be helpful for working on a laptop or having room service. When I texted my valet ticket number to have my car brought around, I received a message stating that my ticket number wasn't found. So I handed it to the valet, who promptly disappeared after he brought the car around and parked it in a location where I could not see that he had returned, and strangely, he never came back to let me know it was there -- another valet had to find the keys and give them to me. Spent over $800/night on the most basic room, so I expected a higher quality of service in general -- yes, the rooms and location were great, but the service doesn't match. Read less

Terrible experience from check in, valet issues to dirty towel in the bathroom, unmade pull out bed that looked as if sheets had not been changed and check out was worse from the valet standpoint as they couldn't find our car.
