I originally told the staff I wouldn't be arriving until after 3pm. When I contacted them that I had arrived early, they had my room ready right away.
The room and courtyard were absolutely lovely.
It had a rustic coastal charm.

The inn is beachy, to say the least. Staff is helpful. The room is eclectic and clean. Towels were plentiful. But... there is also a downside. We had an ant problem especially in the kitchen. Every bit of food had to go in the fridge. The beds squeak but there are a lot of pillows. The tiles were falling off in the bathroom. Tile floors and furniture were chipped and old. Kitchen supplies mismatched and minimal. We enjoyed our stay but I would rate this inn way below the score it is given.

Good price for motel-style rooms in a good location. The key problem is the regular commuter trains and occasional freight trains running on tracks about 60 feet away. It’s a particular issue if you’re in one of the rooms on the street. But if you keep the windows closed, it’s not too bad.

Cute boutique hotel. Within walking distance of good eateries. The beach is a bit further, but you can walk to it, if you like the exercise. Don't leave any food on your counter! We did, and got infested with little ants. Management did give us a discount, but our food was ruined, unfortunately.

The kitchenette efficiency was cute and located close to a market and restaurants. The closest beach access is 0.6 miles away. Not a bad walk. The kitchenette was our only disappointment. The cookware consisted of one scratched up frying pan and.a large sauce pan. There wasn't any oven ready cookware. No mixing bowls. No chopping knifes, only one serrated bread knife.

If you're like me and my family who love a mix of a vintage motel with modern upgrades and reasonable rates, you'll adore the Leucadia Beach Inn too. We stay here at least twice a year whenever we visit San Diego and highly recommend it. Just one example of their above and beyond customer service is their manager, who had aired out our room and turned on its air conditioner prior to our June 10th arrival so the room was fresh and cool when we checked in. Kudos to you and your great staff! ❤️

The Leucadia Beach Inn embodies the character increasingly missing from SoCal beach town lodgings. The hotel dates from around 1920. The updates bring it to current era without losing the vibe that's lasted more than a century.
Extra thanks to the staff. They worked with us when we had to delay a pre-paid trip for a day and kept the communication strong.
The hotel itself is clean, the beds are good quality and the amenities, though limited, are adequate and work. The shower had good water pressure. The coffee machine worked.
Meanwhile, the flowered courtyard's water fountains offered an insulated feel, even though it's right on the 101 highway and across from the rail tracks.
The room was cozy, probably smaller than the advertised 300 square feet, but included a kitchenette including refrigerator. The room was reminiscent of other hotels from an era long past. Good for charm, not so great from USB plugs, but overall very positive.
The hotel does offer extra coffee, towels, housekeeping, all upon request.
Parking was limited but we always found a spot during our three-night stay.
We'll be back.

The location was great. You can walk to the beach, restaurants and stores. My room was upstairs in the back so it was very quiet considering the Inn is on Coast Highway. You are super close to grocery stores and the train stop. As per many reviews the bathroom sink area is very constricting so if you are a larger person, you will have a hard time maneuvering. The bed was very comfortable. The furnishings are quite dated. Parking is safe and easy. All in all a good value.

This is one of the cleanest places I have stayed at! Eat off of the floor clean. It is a “mom and pop” place so their office hours were short. I didn’t know that check in was before 5…when I got there at 6, the man was ready to leave for the night and had left written instructions on where to find the key to my room. Besides being a bit perturbed with my tardiness, he warmed up and was quite genial. There was construction going on in the street so I had to drive about 1 mile north to then make a U turn to get to the place. The unit itself is pretty and had all the amenities you could want. I would stay there again!!

I don't know how it got over a \"9\" rating with close to a 1000 reviews, and I have stayed at a ton of hotels, so it was a buzz kill.

The bathroom window was propped open with a wood block because windo was not installed properly.

There in not carpet in the room, it is ceramic tile. The room is much smaller than the pictures.

The bathroom was tiny...so small I had to put my toiletries on the kitchen counter because there is absolutely no room in the bathroom.

The button for the garbage disposal was in the counter rather than in the sink...not apparently done properly.

The cabinets are the cheap white things you might get at Walmart.

The built-in stove was apparently broken because there was a dual burner hot plate on top of it.

A piece of linoleum was missing on the end cap for the counter.

Parking was difficult, from a safety perspective.

The three times I went to the office, with the office sign on, there was no one there. So I had to skip it or go back again.

When I asked for something that normal motels - hotels provide, it was done with the comment that I normally don't do this. It was nice that it was done but I don't understand the comment.

All in all, it is run like a bed and breakfast rather than a motel.

I wish I would have booked at the \"name brand\" place down the street.

Checking in was not so easy as I did not know the office closed at 5:00. Otherwise everything was fine.

We didn’t get a chance to use the kitchen but it was fully stocked with a full-size stove and everything you need to cook dinner if you want. We were on a simple overnight staycation in our local town and will definitely stay at the Leucadia Beach Inn again. What a gem!

Great location for walking distance to shops and restaurants. The beach is like a 12 minute walk also! Yes, you can hear the train at night but I personally love it. Room was clean and comfy!

The beds in our room, don't know about the other rooms...but ours was ridiculous, we couldn't even sleep in the same bed because both beds and a huge depression on one side. It was crazy to think anyone can sleep in those conditions. I tell the desk lady and all she says is, we have many return visitors. Well I hope they didn't get room #9. You are allowed two coffee pods a day, like they are rationed out. You have to go to the desk and ask for them, then they want to make sure you really need the cream and sugar packets. MM is large and in charge of that deal, he must have skin in the game. Because he is at your car window as soon as you pull up telling you your not exactly between the lines. When we arrived we already had the code to the lock box, but for some reason he thought he had to facilitate our entry to the room then isisted, I say that it was cute, and it is cute, but cute don't make up for the indented bed. The parking is ridiculous to get out. I see all the reviews of this place and think that they are done by management. The tub, well that's a whole other story, I wanted a bath so I took out the mat and the whole bottom of the tub is stained with wear and the enclosure is grubby also. I'd never stay there again. So there ya go MM...thanks for the hospitality, and by the way you telling my husband to take it easy on the review was a joke!

I stayed in the economy room so the amenities are less than other rooms which is to be expected. Clean rooms, friendly staff. Parking is challenging but available, just a little tight. Hot plate for a stove. Conveniently located for dining, beach and clubbing.

What a gem this place is! We were upgraded to a nicer, bigger room unexpectedly upon arrival and then were walked right to our room and given lots of good suggestions about nearby spots to get food. The best part is that Beacon’s beach is just a few blocks away!

Parking was limited but secure, the area feels safe and people are walking around at night going to restaurants. There are not many streetlights so bring a flashlight. The room is small but comfortable and clean. The check in process was easy, we arrived after hours and they had an envelope ready for us.

It's pretty cheap/low-cost, but for what you pay, I think it fit the bill and was great. Room was clean and very functional, and property seemed well taken care of. Staff was very accommodating for our late arrival.

The hotel was built in the 20’s, so it’s not fancy, but it has charm and our room and kitchenette were spotless. The bed was very comfortable, and the room had both an air conditioner and windows that open. The location was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.

wonderful people, very kind, very clean, sweet little room. Maybe the cleaning material smelled a bit too strong? Probably some people appreciate this. I had to air the room out a bit. Otherwise an absolutely perfect stay.
