The Fin Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Service was not good. Staff is very accommodating and good customer service from hotel staff, however marginal to bad service from management, they are not accommodating, when told I received a ticket for parking when an employee instructed me in was okay to park 2 streets down, they did not give me free parking, they said abput signage, etc. However an employee DID give me free parking after hearing it and them management said 'no' for my additional stay. Bad service and bad follow through in regard to management. You need new managers with customer service in mind. Thank you Hilton for this wonderful hotel stay.

Great location. Walking distance to wonderful restaurants, the beach, and breweries. The next time I come back I’m def going to ask to be upstairs. First floor is noisy. I can hear everyone at the restaurant/lobby/ TV lounge area in the lobby side. The sound echos down the corridor and you can hear people walking above you as well. After 10PM-11PM is when the noise starts going down but I def didn’t get proper sleep. Only come here if you going out and about, not to relax or be romantic, if that’s the case stay at a proper hotel with thicker walls and ceilings. I’ll def come back. It did the job.

This is a quaint hotel a few short blocks from Oceanside CA pier. The main thing i like is the location. Rooms are very small. Restaurant not great unless you're like me & order steak & eggs. 💲💲💲💲💲in California you can't worry about the prices! I paid $4 for a bottle of Canada dry diet ginger ale. Restaurants around Finns are ok. Just ok. The pier is so beautiful that ill take ok Restaurants & a smaller room to have the pier within walking distance. Souvenir shopping is good here! I still give Finn's 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

--- From the moment I arrived at The Fin Hotel in Oceanside, I knew I was in for two blissful nights of true getaway vibes. The boutique décor and attention to detail struck the perfect balance between stylish and comfortable. My room featured a mini-fridge, a Keurig coffee maker, two plush robes, and a shampoo/body-wash scent that brought memories of one of my favourite spas—such a lovely touch. (The rooms are centrally located, giving you that local downtown Oceanside feel while remaining surprisingly peaceful.) ([expedia][1]) Stepping into Little Fawn (located right in the hotel) for breakfast was equally delightful. The café/bar is elegant yet relaxed—ideal for solo downtime or a quiet catch-up. I indulged in the croissant breakfast sandwich paired with the garlic-Parmesan fries and a garlic-mayo dip (truly outstanding). The staff member Amy was warm, accommodating, and genuinely listened to my stories about Vegas—small moments like this made the experience feel personal and special. The café’s brunch hours (8:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.) and dinner service starting at 5:00 p.m. make it flexible for various moods. ([OpenTable][2]) One of the highlights for me: arriving as a diamond member and discovering a complimentary snack box awaiting me in the room—popcorn, a protein bar, nuts, chocolates, cookies—it was such a thoughtful gesture and really reinforced that guest experience truly matters here. The front-desk team, especially Sarah, consistently carried such kindness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. Location wise, The Fin sits just two blocks from the pier and is enveloped by the vibrant tapestry of downtown Oceanside—cars and people, bars and antique stores, foodie spots and local charm. I spent one afternoon wandering to the pier, grabbing a cigar at nearby Cigar Grotto and simply surf-watching from the break—then returned to the ease and comfort of the hotel, poured a drink, and enjoyed some football with Netflix on the Smart TV in my room. Lastly, parking is secure and convenient behind the hotel through a gated alley, which is a major bonus in a downtown location. If you’re a couple or solo traveller looking for a refreshing North County Oceanside escape—where you can stay perfectly in the mix of local energy yet retreat into calm and comfort—I can’t recommend The Fin Hotel (and Little Fawn) enough. This is a place that understands experiential detail and knows how to deliver. ---

Sound proofing in the rooms was very bad, street noise was not dampened at all, and could easily hear conversations from the next room. Got woken up at 6 am by neighbor sliding chair around and slamming dresser drawers Room was clean, a little small, but cozy enough. Nice shower. Didn't really get to explore Oceanside much as this was a business trip. The restaurant/bar I found to be extremely good quality and great value. That is why the review is 4 and not 3 stars. The parking lot in the alley is quite cramped, and once it's even half full, or there are large trucks/SUVs, I think it's difficult to park your vehicle there (I was driving a full size sedan rental). Fortunately there is an additional lot down the street where mere mortals can manage to park.

The Fin is part of the Hilton chain, which I love. I was very surprised that the experience was not the expected one. The staff super cool and room very clean. What went wrong? My room was on top of the bar/ restaurant downstairs. Music and people very loud until midnight - the matress where I slept was probably was bought in 1990, also shower gel was locked.. unable To use it. oooh and parking super super tight - if you have a big truck, get there early! Overall, awful experience.

The Fin hotel is an historic property, but it has been nicely updated. The rooms are small yet well-appointed and efficiently laid out. The location is very convenient and within walking distance of restaurants and the beach. The staff members were very helpful and accomodating.

Here’s your updated and sharpened 2-star review:||||---||||**Rating: ⭐⭐ (2 out of 5 stars)**||**Hotel: The Fin Hotel, Oceanside, CA**||||I wouldn't stay here again.||||When I arrived to check in, no one was at the front desk. I waited around for several minutes with no staff in sight and eventually walked over to the Switchboard restaurant next door just to get help. Not the kind of check-in experience you expect from a Hilton-branded property.||||The room itself was incredibly small—barely any space to move. The bed is so close to the shower that it felt like I was sleeping in the bathroom. If you’re someone who needs space to breathe or unpack, this isn’t the place.||||As a Hilton member, I was told my food and beverage credit could be used on-site. Turns out it only applies to the Switchboard, not bottled water or snacks from the lobby. I had been charging water to the room thinking it was covered. Thankfully, the receptionist took it off the bill at checkout.||||Parking is sufficient, but at $28 per day, it’s not worth it. There are two lots—one next to the hotel and another about a block away. They should include it or at least cut the price.||||Also, avoid the 1st floor. I was given a room with a window that faced the street. Oceanside is a beach town, so there’s constant foot traffic. I had to keep the blinds closed the entire stay because people walking by could see directly into the room. Felt like I had zero privacy.||||The hotel is trying to cater to a modern, minimalist vibe. Maybe that works for some, but if you're looking for space, privacy, and a more traditional hotel experience, look elsewhere.

We had family staying in Carlsbad for the long weekend and last minute decided to join them. The hotels we usually stay at in Carlsbad were all booked. We looked close to Carlsbad and found this hotel. Cute little boutique hotel right on Coast Hwy. Built in 1927 it has been nicely renovated. There is also a nice little bar/ restaurant attached that you get a free drink at if staying which was nice. It's walkable to Oceanside Pier and many other sights. There are also many restaurants within walking distance as well. We were afraid with our room looking out to Coast Hwy we would be kept awake by cars racing up and down all night, but it did quiet down and wasn't an issue. Parking is very tight but doable. The staff was very friendly and made our stay enjoyable. Would consider staying here again if the opportunity presented itself.

If your trying to earn Hilton status you can do it either with nights, stays, spend or cards. I went with stays because I like to do mattress runs/staycations. Gold is the goal. Needing for a place to crash in my own hometown isn't an issue, but why not kill 2 birds with 1 stone by temporarily staying here as a bit of an extended stay. Why? because it's a solid boutique hotel with an easy booking app, solid price point, clean rooms, decent amenities. The room has some nice little things that make it stand out from others. It stays like a bigger property and the rooms are larger than expected. Having a bar/restaurant downstairs is a nice benefit along with being located downtown oceanside near the beach and nightlife. Maybe not as close as The Brick, but it's alot quieter and a Hilton so stays mean something. This is my preferred local stay unless I have a free night at the majors by the pier.

Excellent location. Terrible customer service. Like the FBI. I am a local who paid for a friend to stay. As awful front room service as it comes. Thanks you Hilton.

It's not a good hotel. They should be embarrassed for asking for so much money for the rooms. Small, dirty, no air conditioning. No luggage cart, soiled bedding. My friend contracted COVID and they would not let her out of her reservation. They preferred to allow someone who was sick come to their hotel with their germs than to refund the fee.

Really bad service experience. Front desk did not seemed to be concerned about the challenges we had with the reservation. Will say they are relatively cheap.

Great location. Walking distance to great cafes and restaurants. I recommend this place.

This is a very reasonably priced hotel in Oceanside. There's not much to it. It's pretty basic. My room smelled like bad cologne which was covering up a rancid smell so 1 star off for that. :( Stan was the best part of my stay!! He's the manager or owner of this Hilton property in Oceanside on Coast Hwy. He is very handsome!! He had the room ready before 3 pm so I could check in I'm not sure I would make us vacation out of this place but it was good for a night or two! I do love Switchboard which is the restaurant next-door! Waitttt, I just got into bed and there is sand under the covers. Did they forget to change the sheets after the last guest? I'm too tired to do anything about this now but I will address this in the morning!!

This will sound worse than I intend, but The Fin initially wasn't our first choice when we were searching for hotels for my buddy's wedding. Rather, my friends and I had originally planned on staying at The Seabird a few blocks over like so many of the other guests...until we saw the rate. Sorry, but ~$400 a night before the weekend festivities were even set to begin? Not so coincidentally, that just so happened to be right around when The Fin suddenly shot up to the top of our list! Huh...imagine that. Much like Hilton's other Tapestry Collection properties, The Fin has a more unique vibe than your typical hotel. At the same time, it's also a bit of an outlier, as it's a boutique hotel in an older, renovated building (their name is presumably a nod to their predecessor here, The Dolphin). Knowing that, and after checking out photos of the hotel online, I already knew that the amenities (and that the rooms) were going to be on the modest side. For example, the "business center" is just a computer set up on a small desk and there's no pool to lie out by, though they do have a quaint rooftop patio and a shuffleboard table in the "lobby". As far as the aforementioned room goes, it similarly lacks a lot of bells and whistles. In a sense, it almost felt like walking into a studio apartment - the bathroom is immediately to your left, the closet to your right, and the sink acts as a pseudo wall to enclose the bed area. That being said, it's also not a huge deal if you're not going to be in the room very much. Plus, all of the essentials are still accounted for - A/C, in-room wi-fi, decently comfortable bedding/mattress, hairdryer, iron, ironing board, toiletries, a safe, extra pillows, coffee machine, mini fridge, etc. -- BEDROOM AREA (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-fin-hotel-tapestry-collection-by-hilton-oceanside?select=CMlWQKA3B-YpFM1JQwBzFQ) -- DESK/TV (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-fin-hotel-tapestry-collection-by-hilton-oceanside?select=Qi0pvjpCFEsbgwTLi_soGg) -- SHOWER (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-fin-hotel-tapestry-collection-by-hilton-oceanside?select=1f2FSMRb83puJDAJKe4mJA) -- SINK/VANITY (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-fin-hotel-tapestry-collection-by-hilton-oceanside?select=GkkOPuDMcXFY79LwkYCt2w) -- CLOSET (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-fin-hotel-tapestry-collection-by-hilton-oceanside?select=Mafsv2nDwlUHhDnxOLi1iw) While there may not have been anything particularly awful about the room, there were definitely some shortcomings - one of the bedside lamps was out, there weren't many usable outlets (the one under the desk was fully utilized), and there wasn't any overhead lighting in the bed area. Granted, there seemed to be an upward facing fixture in the headboard, but nothing turned on when I flicked what I assume was the power switch. I also didn't like how they push you to create a Hilton Honors account to log onto the wi-fi (or risk potential fees), but my biggest issue was with how thin the ceilings and walls were. Even from the back of my room, I could hear the conversations by the front desk, as well as in the room next door, and the footsteps of the people upstairs. Yet, ironically, I didn't hear much of the traffic out on the street, which was actually my initial concern, so points for that. In all, while I didn't love every aspect of my stay at The Fin, I certainly didn't think it was an awful experience. My issues were by no means critical and, considering how they were cheaper than other nearby hotels, worth enduring to save some cash. I might feel otherwise if the rates had been higher, but in the end, they still satisfied all of my basic needs out of a hotel (clean room, cheap rate, etc.), albeit without giving me a compelling reason to return. Although, I will absolutely come back to the attached coffee shop/restaurant next door, The Switchboard - it's so good!

Worse than when I stayed in Bangladesh. When we first opened the door to our supposedly non-smoking room, the smell of cigarettes almost knocked us over. The couch was threadbare, ripped open in many places with the pads showing through and FILTHY. The bedcovers were soiled with big patches of material missing with the batting showing through. We went to get another room and they were so gracious to give us another which didn't smell of cigarettes but looked essentially the same. The worst part were the two beds. The mattresses were lumpy and hard, just like the tiny bed pillows. When my teenage son got onto his bed it sounded like it was about to collapse. When I got onto our bed, it made the same noise. Any time we moved in the night it was a cancert of noises. I had the worst nights sleep of any hotel I've ever had in all my travels around the world to almost fifty countries. The old Air conditioner unit was so noisy, it was impossible to sleep with it on so we opened the window a little bit.. In the morning, we were awakened by a cloud of cigarette smoke wafting into our room from our inconsiderate next door neighbor P.S. I was excited to discover when checking-in that there was an authentic East-Indian restaurant adjacent to the motel. The food matched the quality of the the hotel. The only good thing about the restaurant was the owner was honest with me when I asked if it was safe for us to leave our motorcycle locked on bumper rack the night. He told me I best move into our room because it would for sure be gone in the morning as the neighborhood had gone to hell. For our next trip to Fallbrook we booked a reservation for the Rodeway Inn just two blocks down the road . . . FOR LESS MONEY

From start to finish, my wife, son, and I enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and very nice. As always, the beds were comfortable and cozy. The staff was excellent and greeted us warmly upon arrival. It felt like home. Thank you so much, and we will definitely stay again. PGIII

We visited during the Christmas holiday. I wanted a break before returning to work; sadly, it rained during our entire stay. Still, it was a clean, comfortable hotel, and the staff was nice and friendly. Plus, it is attached to a restaurant and across the street from a burrito restaurant. The parking is next to the URBN|WTRR Company bldg; look for the surfer with the wave mural on the side of the neighboring building. Finally, if given the opportunity, we would stay here again.

Great vibe in this small boutique hotel. Rooms were sufficient. Help friendly. Adjoining restaurant excellent quality and service. No waiting on line at elevators. No pool but shuffleboard is cool.

This hotel is in a great location on the main strip. At first, I was concerned because I was assigned an "accessibility" room. But when we got into our room, it was quite cozy. don't expect a big room if you're booking a budget price. Every room has a robe and slippers. There is a bar adjoining the hotel which is quite convenient. You can also take your drink to your room. A couple of doors down there is a coffee shop. The staff is friendly and helpful. It's worth the stay for the night.

Booked this hotel through an app called Hotel's Tonight, which searches for low discounted rooms close to the current date. This hotel was very affordable yet super stylish and new, so we booked it. When we arrived, the whole hotel was covered in scaffolding and tarped. I was concerned until we went inside to see that they were still underway with a major renovation and it was just the exterior that was still being remodeled. It's an older hotel that was completely renovated when the Hilton brand took over. It's a boutique brand hotel, so although it is a Hilton, it has a unique charm to it. The interior lobby was really nice and spacious with seating areas, well decorated. The staff was nice and checked us into our room right away. The room was a little small for a king room, but efficient and had everything we needed for our stay. The hotel is walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars and shops. So once we parked the car, we just roamed around the neighborhood for a couple days. I found quite a few places nearby that were fun and delicious. The second day, we woke up to the heater malfunctioning and making the room too hot for us. The front desk moved us without hesitation, to another room while they dealt with the repairs. I appreciated this and understood, knowing that the hotel was so brand new and these things happen. Overall we had a great time staying in Oceanside at the Hotel Fin. it was comfortable, clean and the location was great. Also, the price was affordable and worth the stay.

This boutique Hotel is a great find and a fantastic place to stay. Build in 1927, The Fin (originally known as the Keisker Hotel) has a long rich history. Besides being the first hotel in Oceanside to have hot and cold running water, it was also commandeered by the Pacific Telephone Company to be the regional headquarters of communications during World War II. After the war, the building was turned back to a hotel and renamed the Dolphin Hotel. It fell on hard times and during the late 60's and early 70's, it was known as "The Dirty Dolphin", by the military and locals looking for more than just a bed to sleep in. Renovated in 2017, this tiny two floor, 27 room hotel has become the smallest Hilton in America. If you're looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay in Oceanside, you can't go wrong with The Fin. The rooms are cleaned and sanitized daily. The beds are fine and every room has a large smart tv, Coffeemaker, microwave, mini-fridge, hairdryer and Iron. The train station and the beach are a short walk away, and there are plenty of nearby places to eat (the best being The Switchboard Restaurant and Bar, attached to the hotel). A parking lot is available but you can also find parking on the street. The staff were very friendly and the rates are very reasonable. Our experience at the Fin Hotel was great and we will definitely be back.

We love it here. Cute bar/restaurant attached (SwitchBoard) EVERYTHING is in walking distance. We frequent pier, Thursday night street fair, winery, pubs, sushi, cafés all in walking distance. The hotel is quaint with such charm. I love the parlor style wooden staircase that leads to the rooms. We were lucky enough to get the room with balcony/chairs. Love the murals on the building, too.

Hotel was nice and clean and walking distance near some nice places to eat and shop. But the walls are very thin. We heard our neighbors repeatedly practicing for what we can only assume were tryouts for an adult movie. Maybe they were celebrating how convenient the EV charging was at the transit center only a few feet away? Or that the movies and pier were so convenient? Can't be sure. But they celebrated, over and over, and over again. Judging by how much we heard, "oh god!," they could have also been pious, and just exercising a lot.

I loved this place and will certainly be back. There are not many reviews or pictures of The Fin Hotel so I was a bit hesitant. I was worried about getting a room with an "exposed" bathroom - like some reviews have mentioned. If I were travelling alone, no problem, but since it was a more romantic type of trip, CALLED to ask if they have rooms with a standard, all together, separate bathroom. And they do! So just make sure to call/double check before you book your room type if that bothers you. I ended up getting the King room with the balcony - which is apparently the best room in the place. And it was still affordable! I took some pictures of the balcony and view - since I could not find anything online. Room size and amenities were great. The SHOWER was the best part of my stay! Shower had the options of above rainfall showerhead and/or standard shower head. Adjustable temperature. Bathrobes provided. It really felt like a spa. Very impressed. Staff was not over the top annoying, in your face, Disney kind of nice. So, maybe that's a turn off for some. Just my style. All staff were kind, brief, knowledgeable, helpful. The location was amazing! So many restaurants, bars, and breweries in walking distance! I'm not the type to think "I'd like to come back here". But honestly, I really would. So happy I chose this place because the reviews of others in town were overcrowded, loud with construction, noise from trains - literally no problems here! I recommended!

Super tiny hotel but I loved it. Very cozy and easy walking distance to everything. Clean room. Hot water. Off street parking for a fee. I parked at the transit center. Kind wish they had a spa, but who knows where they could fit it?

Love this hotel!!! Oceanside, CA is still a bit gritty, however, this hotel has so much charm and character to offer. Tiny rooms, so if that bothers you, don't come and leave a bad review. No smell of weed here. This is a very small hotel, so anyone smoking weed will instantly be detected and asked to leave. In any case, no one would smoke weed here because the people who stay here are looking for a nicer and upscale hotel. They have amazing products in the restroom (Crabtree and Evelyn), and a beautiful fluffy bath robe (that needs to be returned) for you to take to the beach. Useful if you want to wear swimwear under the bathrobe. I wasn't there to swim, so I didn't use the bathrobe, but I really like comfy bath robes to relax in. This one was plain white, and I like my pink summer bathrobe with wildflowers on it much more, but I noted the brand because I might buy a fluffy winter bath robe later this year. There was a guest here who rented a convertible from Turo, so I've noted Turo as a place to rent a nicer car. It's the Airbnb concept and the cars belong to private individuals in the area.

Love Love Love this unique boutique hotel. I've read the other reviews questioning the size and parking...people, this is the beach and space is very limited. I appreciated the decor, the great use of the space - even though small everything I needed was there: safe, coffee maker, fridge, side tables, charging stations, luggage room, robes/slippers, large shower and all bathroom needs. It was quiet, which is not always the case with beach properties and the staff is amazing - lobby is comfortable and there's snacks for purchase. The coffee shop and Switchboard restaurant cannot be missed. Try the lettuce wraps - it puts all those you've had before to shame. Simply the best. I travel to Oceanside monthly to visit my son and have stayed at they Hyatt properties and the Marriott, as well as various vacation rentals....my new go to is the Fin Hotel - when it is available! Try it - you won't be disappointed, I promise.

My recent stay at Fin Hotel could very well have made my Top 5 list of Hilton stays. This little hotel is a delightful mix of hospitality and modern charm packed into 1920s sized rooms. Expect to be cozy and comfortable! The manager and staff were all very kind and helpful and made my stay perfect. I highly recommend the adjacent restaurant and coffee shop too! The pillows and bed were very comfortable; the shower was very nice; the room was quiet; the lobby lovely; the restaurant and coffee shop superb; the robes and slippers and towels thoughtfully provided; and the soaps and lotions were quality. The room, linens and towels were squeaky clean: it is the cleanest Hilton hotel I have stayed at in a long while. The Fin Hotel staff clearly valued the customer and the quality of the experience for their guests. It was refreshing.

As a Hilton Honors member I expect a lil bit more from a Hilton property. The good parts are these: Cute boutique hotel in a historic building that is walking distance to just about anything you'd need including the beach. Price for a king bed room was also reasonable. Now the bad parts... The rooms are situated a bit strange and are very small. We had the king bed room and everything was shoved in there! Two tiny night stands that barely held anything. No lights to speak of over the small dest, The sink is in the main room and the shower is exposed to the bedroom as well. So if you take a nice steamy shower expect the entire room to be humid! The only bit of privacy was the toilet which had a door. We checked in on March 13th (for four nights) late and promptly fell asleep...except for when there were people walking along the street under our window VERY loud. If you book a room that faces any part of the side or front street expect noise! First night went well and then it went downhill from there. Wanted to open the window to let fresh air in and the window only opened barely an inch. The first night the hvac worked fine, the next day it stopped working and it was pretty humid from all of the rain. Front desk person came up and couldn't get it to work, there was no manager on the premises at the time so they offered to switch us to a room across the hall. Guess what? THAT hvac didn't work either. This time the manager came up and tried to get it to work to no avail. We had to leave for an appointment so the manager said he would call us when they could get someone to look into it. We got a call later that afternoon asking for permission to go in and never heard from management again even though we asked to speak to him each day for the rest of our stay. They didn't offer to do anything for us climate control wise other than a fan. Seriously? At least the second room had windows that opened all the way so we ended up playing windows up - windows down to keep comfortable. This was below standards on multiple levels.

It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't worth the $495 we spent. We're Hilton Honors members so we try and stay at Hilton properties for the points. At that price tag we were expecting a luxury room. We got the Artists Bungalow. Trust me when I say it was a Motel 6 room. You don't hang out in a room like this. It's incredibly spartan and utilitarian. Stick on printed faux wood paneling, No art on the wall, pull down shades that don't block out the light, no full length mirror, sheets with a 10 thread count. This would have been wonderful accommodations if we were paying 65-100. The bar was closed by 10pm. No fitness center or pool. The parking lot was so small it was hard to turn around and there wasn't a view. The staff was adequate but we felt like fools for paying so much and getting so little. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice well, the Fin won't get a chance because I won't ever stay there again.

A great place to stay with great service is hard to find. When you find a place which offers you value and great service, you definitely let your friends and family know about it. The Fin Hotel is that place. The staff here at the Fin are friendly and very welcoming. Robin, who works the front desk, will always greet you with a smile. The guy reminds me of "Dr. Dre." This guy is smooth and makes your stay at the Fin enjoyable and memorable. Next to the Fin is the Switchboard Restaurant/Coffee Shop. I spoke to part owner Kevin who will also greet you with a smile and take the time to tell you about the hotel's history. Room 212 is the room you want to book. It's the largest room in the hotel and has an outdoor balcony. The service, food, and customer service at the Fin is exceptional. This place is a hidden gem.. The hotel is approximately two blocks away from the Oceanside Pier. Perfect location if you want to be close to the beach. If you want a weekend away or your coming into Oceanside for business, definitely come to the Fin Hotel. You will be pleased with the inviting atmosphere. The staff at the Fin makes you feel right at home. Come by for a drink and stay a few hours. You will be happy you did. Thank you all for the awesome service you provided. Sincerely, John and Ana.

I definitely recommend this spot it's got a cool vibe and the restaurant inside is awesome

Nice little hotel. Got a "deal" on Priceline but felt like even the deal was a little pricey. The rooms are super clean and the beds are nice. Bring your own pillows if you need softer pillows like I do- they have the hard feather pillows. The location is awesome. So many restaurants nearby. We had an awesome Hawaiian breakfast at The attached restaurant to the hotel. It was nice that they provided robes in the rooms. Little bonus. Also I appreciated there being a sensor light in the toilet area so I didn't have to fumble around looking for the light switch at 2am! The lobby is cozy with a shuffleboard. My only complaint about the hotel is that the walls are really thin. We were in a downstairs room and was woken up to the person playing music at 4:50am. I could hear the words to the song! I could hear the guests walking around and packing their suitcase. When they closed their door it sounded like it was our door! Probably the best customer service I have had in awhile! Front desk peeps were so friendly and helpful! Robin checked us in and he was delightful! Overall had a nice over nighter here!

Fluffy and Mrs. Bunny stayed here for a few days of work. It's a Hilton and they're the preferred brand of the Bunny clan. But this hotel is an oddity. It's a small hotel with small rooms and a small bar and restaurant. That's fine- we Bunny's are also small. But this hotel is also noisy. It's on a very noisy road in a very noisy part of town. The occasional noisy bar spills into the lobby. The old building does not keep the noise out at night as you can hear every unmuffled car and Harley jamming down the road. The big fire doors on the rooms slam closed adding to the mayhem. Loud, loud, loud. Inside and out. What was Hilton thinking? Friendly staff. We'll never sleep there again (we didn't sleep the first time). Fluffy and clan moved to the Best Western Palms and slept like the bunnies that we are. And we needed that. My advice- don't do it. Hop on Fluffy Bunny

I stayed at the Fin the night of my wedding and then for the next few days after. Sulten did amazing with gettin us a great room. They were so nice and also got a bottle of champagne for our room as it was our mini honeymoon that week. The hotel was so pretty and very neat. There's an awesome restaurant and coffee shop just downstairs on the same level as check in. We grabbed breakfast there one morning but didn't have a chance to check out the coffee shop. They also have parking right next to the building which was so convenient as we had so much stuff to bring in and out of the hotel. Overall beautiful hotel and great staff! You're walking distance to downtown Oceanside where there are restaurants and bars and shops. Would definitely come back!!

Very nice and welcoming hotel close to the beach,restaurants and shops.The staff is very friendly and helpful.They aldo have a nice restaurant called Switchboard that serves tasty food and cocktails.Would stay there again!

Very surprised Hilton would put their name on this place. I believe in being fair and giving credit where it is due...the staff were very professional and the room was clean and orderly. All the furniture and appliances worked. If our room had been on the 2nd floor (which we assumed all rooms would be, since the building is on the corner of a very busy street) perhaps we would have had a more comfortable experience...however for over $230 per night, we were on the ground floor between a car dealership and an alleyway with very *colorful* characters walking by constantly (please see photos). Between that and (as others have noted) the fact that the walls were SO thin that we could hear everything in the next room and the hallway, no nice interior design was going to keep this from feeling like we were staying in a cheap motel. I will note that we eventually figured out that the windows are mirrored on the outside, meaning that the people on the street can't actually see you - but c'mon. Lastly, please note that the shower is literally in the bedroom, not in an enclosed bathroom, and that you will pay $25 for parking in an unsecured lot. This experience will probably be just fine for some people, but we were quite surprised.

Checked in at 8 pm & was told at the front desk that the bar was open until 8:30 pm. At 8:15pm, I walked into the bar, finally got the bartenders attention as he was busy chatting with his friends. I was told with no uncertainty that the bar was closed and NO, Steven (the bartender) would not give me a glass of wine to bring to my room. So, will I ever stay here again...NO, thanks!

I love the tapestry hotels by Hilton because you get the perks of the large chain, but get a boutique hotel with charm and character. We enjoyed our stay and were within walking distance of everything we wanted to do. The General Manager did an exemplary job of getting a left behind item back to me and returned my call promptly. We will definitely stay here again.

I am a Hilton Honors member. I have stayed at this hotel 20+ times. Recently I became very ill and I tried changing my reservation. The GM, Stan wouldn't allow me to change my reservation. I didn't ask for a refund or cancel, just a simple date change when I'm feeling better. You would think with COVID on the rise he would accommodate. Maybe this is what happens when one allows a title to go to their head! It's only a few rooms, Stan not the First World Hotel! I'm so deeply disappointed. I have worked in 4 star resorts and have many friends in the industry and agreed that this is very poor management. He wasn't apologetic by any means, I found him to be arrogant and curt. Not hospitable in the least.

My husband and I were excited to give this location a try for a long birthday weekend celebration away from the Arizona heat. Since it carries the Hilton name, I made the wrong assumption that it would have Hilton quality. Or at least the same standard of bedding/mattresses that Hilton uses. I was dead wrong. The hotel is cute and hip, set in downtown O'side, right on Coast Highway. Our room was clean and nice, but faced Coast Highway which is very noisy. Okay, no worries since with the windows closed and the A/C on it's not too bad. Except the A/C made a terrible metallic rattle/squeal sound. When I asked about it at the front desk, I noticed their A/C made the same sound, so figured it was futile. The bed was way too firm for our liking, and the sheets were very rough. The pillows and blanket were nice, but without a decent mattress, what's the point? There are 3 drawers for clothes and 3 cubbies under the drawers. I think it would have made more sense for those cubbies to be drawers as well, as the closet is pretty small. We ended up putting clothing in the cubbies. The room has a 50" TV, which is a bit too large for the size room, but hey, better too big than too small, right? And it was a smart TV that we were able to use our Netflix account with, especially useful since the guide for the in house cable channels did not correspond with the actual channel you were looking at, nor did it show what shows were on. We had to go channel by channel to find something we liked, and finally gave up and watched Netflix. The shower was fine, and the bath items were all from Bath & Body Works which gave me hope for higher quality of other items provided by the hotel. Sadly, this was not the case. We understand that with COVID the restaurant was no longer providing breakfast (according to the clerk, they stopped it this past Monday), so the hotel was giving "take away bags" for continental breakfast, consisting of: a "raisin snail" pastry (like a danish but a very generic prepackaged brand), an off brand granola bar that was so sweet I could not eat it, a Hi-C Boppin' Strawberry juice box (I am not 5), a Yoplait Light yogurt which wouldn't have been bad except that it has sugar AND sucralose in it, which I cannot eat due to allergies, and the only redeeming item in the bag, a bottle of water. No fruit, nothing healthy, all sugar. Very disappointing and very far from the Hilton standard of quality. As we were there from Thursday to Sunday, we asked for the room to be cleaned on Saturday morning. When we got back from breakfast around 11:30 to get ready for the beach, not only had the room not been cleaned, but we overheard a woman whom I can only imagine was a supervisor chastising the maid for "working since 9 and not even having two rooms cleaned yet". We ended up canceling the maid service altogether. Finally, Saturday night, the noise from the restaurant downstairs was so bad even at 11:30 pm that we had to call the front desk, who asked the restaurant (which was already closed) to turn down/shut off their music. When we continued to hear loud voices we had to call the desk again and they informed us that the noise was from a club down the street but they usually quieted down around midnight. I am giving the place 3 stars because my husband rated it 3, and because the front desk staff was very friendly and nice. The halls smelled fresh and sanitized, and the doors are sealed with stickers when they have been freshly cleaned. However, those doors are very heavy and slam very loud when you do not guide them shut, and a lot of people don't think about it even though "do not disturb" signs are all over the place. Despite the great location within walking distance of a lot of the downtown O'side area, we would not stay here again unless they upgrade the beds and fix the A/C noise.

We decided to give this property a try while we were down in SoCal for a wedding. It looked interesting on the web... and when we arrived it was true... nicely appointed property in what looks to be an older historic building. It is on the main drag through town; a few blocks from the water. There are numerous eating establishments nearby. The coffee shop in the building is very cool and offers some tasty drinks. Now... remember that this located on the main drag. As such, if you're not OK with constant noise from loud cars & motorcycles, occasional sirens, and large truck (trash truck?) noise at 0:dark:30, etc., you'll want to find a property somewhere else. We only stayed one (sleepless) night and then found another Hilton property about 5 miles south in Carlsbad. BTW... if you need to hang more than 4-5 items on hangers, the unit we were in had about 12 inches of "closet" space. Parking is not "secure" and is $15/night. If you're driving a large vehicle, it's not a great parking area. Front desk staff was very nice, especially when I informed them of why we were cutting our stay short and finding another property. Bottom line, the next time I'm searching for a Hilton property, probably going to avoid a "Tapestry" property.

We got a great deal on Hotels Tonight so we grabbed it. Place looks modern and nicer on the picture. But, hey, we were there to just sleep since we got there so late, so it served our purpose. The room was clean... i just wish the lady told us we were getting a handicap room. Definitely not the best location. It is right by U-haul.. Street parking is scarce. They have a small parking lot but you have to pay $10/night.

Super cute hotel and clean. Staff was fairly friendly and it is located Near lots of shopping and restaurants. There was gross rust spots on the walls from the water/heat. Rooms were warm and we couldn't open the window because we were on the ground level with a public courtyard right outside. You could hear literally everything all night from kids running around to TVs on in the other room and ppl talking. There was some sort of clicking in the headboard all night. Decent place to stay if your just looking for a clean inexpensive option.

The hotel was fun to be at. Good place to stay. The food was amazing too. If you are going to Oceanside stay here.

Quaint hotel attached to their bar without seating. Located in downtown Oceanside, or what appeared to be an older walkable retail/commercial district. Had a lot of fun on this trip and stay.!

Let me preface this by stating that, typically, I absolutely love staying in Tapestry Collections. I've been to many, all over the country. That being said, I was quite disappointed with a few major issues that I'm not quite sure how the hotel would remedy. However, had I known these things beforehand, I probably would not have booked a room. 1. When it comes to hotels, there are few things more disappointing than booking a room that's a few blocks from the ocean and the windows do not open. So instead of enjoying the fresh breeze, you're stuck inhaling the stale hotel air. 2. Now, this wouldn't be totally horrible if the ventilation system worked in the room. Unfortunately, it didn't. Or, it hardly did. Not enough to notice air-flow or have an effect on the temperature. 2.1 because of the air system hardly working, the atmosphere of the room was rendered a sticky, humid soup that couldn't be dissipated the entire time, after taking a shower. 3. Probably my biggest pet peeve when it comes to hotel rooms, specifically the restrooms. WHY ARE YOU USING AUTOMATIC LIGHTS?? Whoever worked on the remodel for the hotel obviously does not understand how disorienting it can be to wake up in the middle of the night and be blinded into oblivion whilst trying to relieve yourself. I can understand how one might think this is helpful. But for the love of all that is good, please just install illuminated light switches instead. In case there is some mad human out there that wants their retinas burned at 4 in the morning. All-in-all, the hotel was cute, the attached restaurant and coffee shop were delicious and convenient, and the location was great. The price on a Monday was reasonable. However, in hindsight, I probably would spend an extra $50-$100 to stay at one of the other hotels in the area.

Completely charming hotel. Very modern room. Only issue was there was an odd smell. My husband compared it to an elderly home . We asked the front desk for a wall plug in since they had them in the lobby and came area. They did, and it was much better after an hour. I highly recommend the little connected restaurant "switchboard". They also allowed us to take our drinks back to the hotel to play lobby games. This was a fun little area. Both places had a MCM vibe which was nice. The parking lot is superrrrr tight. Her there early and as close to the alley gate as possible! Close to a variety of little restaurants and bars as well. Would we stay again: totally.

I loved this little tapestry. It is very small and quaint but it is perfect for two. I have seen reviews saying that it is very loud here but I didn't experience that. The noise level was minimal. Again, it is a small hotel (only 2 floors) so I can see how ok busy nights it would be chaotic. We stayed on a Sunday night and it was still busy down stairs but we couldn't hear much noise from our room on the second floor. The rooms were really clean and tidy. Everything looks super new and renovated so it was nice. I wouldn't recommend for big parties but for a small couple or a single person this is a great place to stay. So close to lots of local goods and restaurants. 10/10 Would recommend.

I have a couple of minor quibbles, but overall I really like the Fin Hotel. My room is quiet, the bed is comfortable, and there is a distinct feeling of privacy away from the bustle of what is, after all, a very touristy area. The king-bed room has one of those open layouts where the bathroom kind of merges into the bedroom, with the toilet in a separate little room--don't stay here as a couple unless you're comfortable viewing each other's ablutions. There's a Keurig coffee maker with a couple of K-cups--if you're a coffee addict, bring more K-cups. The coffee shop/bar downstairs is very good, but somewhat slow to get food out if you're in a hurry. My two minor complaints both have to do with the electrics: there is no electrical outlet at the desk to plug in something like a laptop and also the light in the little toilet room is triggered by a motion sensor--blinding in the middle of the night, when you just want to pee and go back to bed.

My wife and I love Oceanside and we love staying at this hotel when we are in the area. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional. The restaurant serves good food along side their bar. Walking distance to the pier and lots of restaurants nearby. Its a small hotel, which is good if you're looking just to relax. Parking lot is small, so dont even try to park your Suburban. But I do believe there are off property parking nearby. It is in a busy area, so the nightlife is right outside, especially on the weekends. So keep that in mind. But we had our 4 and 9 yr old with us and we didn't have any problems sleeping after a long day at Seaworld, which us about 30-45 mins away depending on traffic. Legoland is like 15 mins away. We accidentally left my son's nebulizer in the room and staff promptly emailed me the same day. The manager called me to let me know that he mailed it out to us ASAP. I really appreciated that they took care of that for us. Overall, great location, good on-site restaurant, and great staff. We have stayed here twice already this year and will continue to make this hotel our preference when staying in the area.

What a great quaint little Hotel. We just checked out after a two nights stay. Looks like it was newly remodeled. Cute lobby with a mini shuffle board table. There is a restaurant and bar attached that has incredible food. Loved the location. Walking distance to the Pier and lots of fun restaurants and shops. The front desk staff was so welcoming and polite. I would highly recommend the Fin Hotel.

This supposed boutique hotel is right on Coast highway, which makes it loud! We were given the handicapped room, which I is probably because I asked for extra pillows. However it is right in front so you literally hear cars all night, as it is a very busy road. I guess it was payback for making the front office staff get the extra pillows. If you are handicapped don't stay here, cuz that front room sucks. When you take a shower, the water flows out so it makes a real slippery mess. It goes right across the room clear away from the drain. They do have a continental breakfast which is coffee, fruit, muffins and " light "yogurt. Guess they're trying to give people on diets something to eat,but hey don't they know aspartame's not the best for you. I called earlier in the day twice and no one answered and there's a funky message machine, which sounds like someone sighing and then it beeps. Wasn't sure it was really an answering machine. That's why I called twice. One other complaint is that the WiFi is jacked. I literally had to quit out of it to even do this review. The staff person told me they're paying extra to add " by Hilton" to their name. They're also opening a restaurant next door. If it was me I would spend the money on correcting some of these issues. Oh yeah the biggest complaint was the staff in the early hours accidentally called us on our phone at 6 AM! For about 200 dollars, this is way overpriced.

Looking at hotels for our anniversary weekend, I stumbled upon The Fin. The pictures looked adorable- quaint, with just enough luxury for our liking. This hotel is much smaller than the pictures let on to. The first room they put us in was called "the studio." It felt like we walked into a shoebox. Our small bedroom at home is bigger. My husband and I couldn't fit in the bathroom (or any part of the room apart from the bed) together because of how small it was. This is not what the pictures on their website depict. Then we noticed hair on the towels and bed- cleanliness was definitely lacking. After saying something to the staff they kindly put us is in another room- cleanliness still not their forte as towels and sheets were stained and there were coffee marks on the countertop. We went out to brunch one morning before a wedding and let the staff know on the way out that we needed the room cleaned/housekeeping services. They agreed, however, upon returning to the room 3 hours later it still had not been cleaned- cutting out my time to get ready for the wedding. For the $500 we paid to stay for 2 nights (including $15/night for parking in an alley parking lot that is also much too small), I feel like we wasted time and money staying here. I highly recommend looking elsewhere!

First, I want to state I'm a Hilton Diamond member. Most difficult small parking lot ever! Very narrow and practically impossible to navigate to park your car, especially if you have an SUV. Plus, the Fin charges you $30 a day for the pleasure. Additionally, not a very quiet location with numerous bars and loud music surrounding the hotel area. Walls are paper thin and rowdy late night drunks staying at the hotel tend to congregate in the hallways. I've had to get out of bed several times to tell the drunks to shut the hell up. I can't understand why the front desk doesn't police this nonsense. The hotel is very small and the front desk can easily hear the customers being loud. There is a restaurant/bar connected to the hotel. The seating could use improvement. The chairs are designed for a living room and when you sit in them. You are at table level. Very uncomfortable to eat a meal. The beds are hard as a rock, rooms are designed like college dorms and my last few stays, the room had worn out shades and broken light fixtures. On the plus side, the staff is courteous and friendly. For the price of a room, it doesn't live up to Hilton's high standards. Only reason I continue to stay at the Fin is it close proximity and walking distant to my daughter's apartment. Otherwise, in my opinion, the Best Western Plus down the road is a better choice.
