Comfort Suites Oceanside Camp Pendleton Area
Bed very comfortable, large room. Very good breakfast. Very popular for families and dog friendly. Had issue with toilet that kept refilling and was very annoying. Reported multiple times over three day stay and they could not resolve. Appeared to be bigger issue than replacing flapper valve.
