"Once one of the humbler beach towns in San Diego’s affluent North County, Oceanside is on the upswing, and a string of stylish new hotels have popped up in its lively downtown. Mission Pacific Beach Resort is one of them, occupying an enviable piece of waterfront real estate right in front of the town’s historic wooden pier. Many rooms and suites in the seven-story building face a quintessentially SoCal view — rolling waves, surfers, seagulls — and all guests have access to the resort’s crowning glory, a rooftop pool and bar with palm trees, retro-styled daybeds, and sunset panoramas over the Pacific." - Tablet Hotels
