  --- 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. ---

  Pros: (location) - 3 minutes walk from the train station - 10 minutes walk from the pier/beach Cons: (noise) - The constant high-pitched noise from the AC fan is very annoying. - Noise from the street and other rooms but that won't be an issue after midnight.

  Needs to put a water bottle filling station in the hallways or lobby area.

  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.
