An Independent, design-driven, 12 room boutique hotel nestled in charming south oceanside

The Green Room is designed for travelers who love to explore and discover. Guests who feel most at home here tend to value thoughtful design, a relaxed social atmosphere, and the freedom to come and go - whether that means walking to coffee, biking the coast, or choosing from the many award-winning local restaurants nearby.

It’s a great fit for those who prefer something personal and distinctive over a traditional hotel or short-term rental, and who see their room as a comfortable home base rather than the center of their stay.

Testimonials

“This California-cool Hotel Is Hiding in an Under-the-radar Surf Town”

– TRAVEL + LEISURE

“…there's a new generation of lodging, restaurants and retailers, writes The Times' Christopher Reynolds. Among his recent stops: the Green Room, a 12-room boutique hotel with surf-minimalist white interiors, no lobby, forward-looking technology and flat black exteriors.”

– LA TIMES

Built in the 1940s, The Green Room Hotel just recently underwent a modernization this summer that breathed new life into its walls and transformed it into a bungalow-style boutique hotel. Each room features custom art from local artists, found pieces of mid-century modem furnishings, unique Moroccan rugs, and more. Some units also feature kitchenettes with playful accents like retro-style appliances and private patios with outdoor seating. Elevated amenities include a cedar-style hot tub next to a fire pit and outdoor social area with communal picnic tables for post-surfing socializing and relaxation.

“Oceanside Emerges as a Foodie & Getaway Destination” – the bungalow style boutique property, well within reach of the new culinary stars.

– HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“I couldn’t say more positive things about this place. The hosts were communicative, present, friendly, and willing to help with anything we needed. We traveled with our one year old and they had a pack ‘n play ready for us in our room when we arrived. Not only did we love the cozy, unique aesthetic, but the little details the hosts put in to make everyone’s stay special. They would leave daily itineraries in the common areas with coffee and doughnuts. If you ever wondered what to do while in south Oceanside or Carlsbad, they had plenty of recommendations that fit the need of various travelers. We cannot wait to come back to The Green Room Hotel!”

“Speaking from the solo traveler perspective, my stay was perfect and I highly recommend. Great location, situated perfectly for easy access to Oceanside attractions but also in walking distance to Carlsbad Village (about a mile). Next door is Municipal Taco & Mezcal for great food and drinks. On the other side is SOCAL bike which offers ebike rentals. If you haven’t been on an ebike I highly recommend. Plenty of coffee shops also within walking distance but my recommendation would be Buccaneer Cafe.”

– DAN

“I’m so happy this space has finally been revamped into something beautiful! The outdoor fireplace area in particular stands out as a great hang out spot for the guests. Well-decorated brand new rooms and extremely clean. As a local, I think the location is perfect for someone who wants to experience both South Oceanside as well as Carlsbad. Minutes walk from some great coffee shops and amazing restaurants.”

Our neighborhood

Our Oceanside Hotel: A Personal Paradise

We happened upon this funky & (mostly) forgotten 1950’s motel as we’d go between Carlsbad and Oceanside depending on the surf or date night spot. Ideally located in South Oceanside between the two thriving communities, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity. What’s been happening in these two places and how they intersect is exciting and inspiring — and we are thrilled to share it with you.

We look forward to your stay.
