The hotel

Spectacular sunset views  and coastal vibes await you, at this sophisticated hotel in the heart of Oceanside, CA. With dazzling DJ sessions at the weekend and top notch dining available every evening, there's facilities to keep you fed, entertained, and satisfied all round. Start your day off with brunch from High/Low Cafe, with fresh local ingredients that can be enjoyed in the morning sun. You're just steps from the sand, where you can lounge comfortably with complimentary umbrellas, towels and even beach activities for the little ones. But if you're more of a pool person than a sea one, then the pool deck is the place to be. Savour the sounds of live music as you enjoy a sundowner and a bite to eat, all with expansive sea views. The California Surf Museum is just down the road, and there's an array of restaurants and shops nearby. Wherever you've eaten, be sure to leave room for the famous 'HIGH-pie' from the historic Top Gun house for dessert.

I recently stayed at Mission Pacific and unfortunately, my experience was marred by the behavior of the staff display of racism. While the facilities and location of the hotel were satisfactory, the interactions I had with certain staff members left much to be desired. The behavior of the staff tarnished my entire experience. Upon check-in, I was met with indifference and rudeness from the front desk staff while being serviced. It was evident that some staff members harbored discriminatory attitudes. They seemed quite dismissive when I had questions regarding my room and even was snarky when requesting to accommodate for a special occasion. This lack of professionalism continued throughout my stay, with encounters ranging from curt responses to outright rudeness. This behavior made me feel unwelcome in what should have been a hospitable environment. Additionally, I observed similar behavior from other staff other than the front desk, which further detracted from the overall atmosphere of hospitality that one expects from a hotel of this caliber. Despite the pleasant accommodations, the demeanor of the staff significantly impacted my impression of the hotel. Hospitality is not solely about physical comfort but also about the quality of service and interactions with guests. Unfortunately, in this aspect, Mission Pacific fell short. It’s disheartening and deeply troubling to encounter such blatant racism, especially in an industry that prides itself on providing hospitality to people from all walks of life. These experiences not only sour one's perception of the hotel but also leave lasting emotional scars. I hope that management takes steps to address the issue of staff behavior to ensure that future guests do not have to endure similar experiences. It's crucial for Mission Pacific to address this issue immediately and implement comprehensive training programs to educate staff on diversity, inclusion, and appropriate professional conduct. Racism has no place in any establishment, and it's imperative that steps are taken to ensure that all guests are treated with dignity and respect. I urge potential guests to consider this aspect of our experience before choosing to stay at Mission Pacific. Until meaningful changes are made to address the culture of discrimination among the staff, I cannot in good conscience recommend this hotel. Read less

The hotel is beautiful and you can’t beat its proximity to the ocean. The area it’s in is pretty cool with lots of bars and places to eat. The pool area in the hotel is very VERY NICE! Don’t miss the sunset view from the hotel pool. Drinks at pool bar weren’t too crazy expensive but they’re not too cheap either. Rooms are beautiful and beds comfy.… Read more
The hotel is beautiful and you can’t beat its proximity to the ocean. The area it’s in is pretty cool with lots of bars and places to eat. The pool area in the hotel is very VERY NICE! Don’t miss the sunset view from the hotel pool. Drinks at pool bar weren’t too crazy expensive but they’re not too cheap either. Rooms are beautiful and beds comfy. Seeing the Top Gun house right out in front of hotel was very cool. Loved our stay here and was very happy that my room was exactly as it looked on the website when I booked it. They have robes and sandals left for you to use while there and even provide you with tote bag for use during your stay. Pretty thoughtful I felt. Also the hotel will setup beach chairs and umbrellas for you at the beach if you’d like to relax by the ocean. The valet is very efficient as all you need to do is text them and they will notify you via text reply when your car is out front. It was a lovely stay at a lovely hotel! Read less

I enjoyed a couple of drinks in The Rooftop Bar and forgot my credit card when I left. I came back a few hours later after the 11pm closing time and was escorted to the front desk. Nadia was at the desk and was very helpful in helping to get my card back to me. She called the restaurant and they called security and my card was back to me within minutes. Nadia is certainly a credit to this hotel!! I will stay at the hotel and continue going to the rooftop bar because of the fine service I received from Nadia!! Read less
