Ricardo
It was a great stay. Very close to downtown Encinitas and Moonlight beach which is very family friendly. Great room. Great Location. We have stayed here before and would stay again in the future.
Leslie
Our room was very comfortable. Perfect for our needs!
David
Excellent experience. Room was super clean and staff was extremely friendly. Excellent view from our room. Will recommend and return
Samantha Lynn
Gorgeous views and so close to everything.
Beverly
Just can’t beat this location! Walk to beach/ leave vehicle in the motel lot. Spacious rooms and kitchen amenities, patio. Comfortable beds and very clean.
You will feel safe staying here. Many return here after initial stay. This was our second year staying here. The beach itself is terrific- concession stand with extensive menu, surf board rentals, lifeguard stands, fire pits, family atmosphere.

Here’s a polished, enthusiastic review you can post:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Moonlight Motel! The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and had a fun, modern beach vibe that fit Encinitas perfectly. The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from the beach, great restaurants, and everything the area has to offer.
What truly made this place stand out, though, was the staff. Every single person I interacted with was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care that I had a great experience. They went above and beyond to make me feel at home, offered great local recommendations, and were always happy to help with anything I needed. That level of hospitality is hard to find these days.
If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay with exceptional customer service, Moonlight Motel is an easy five-star choice. I’ll definitely be staying here again the next time I’m in Encinitas!

Karen
Moonlight Beach Motel is exactly as it advertises. The room was clean; the beds were comfortable, and the location deserves a score of 15/10. It is 3 blocks from Moonlight Beach and a very short walk into Encinitas. The location was also safe and quiet. We had a room with a small kitchen, so we were able to make breakfast and have coffee in the room. They have a lovely patio area where we grilled hotdogs and played games. They provide boogie boards and beach chairs, if you want to use them. There aren’t a lot of fancy amenities, but if you don’t need fancy and want a lovely place to stay, it is perfect.
richard
I’ve stayed here many times, best place to stay in Encinitas with the beach, Cali cream, Loftys coffee and the cafés and shops up the street on Highway 101. I will be back!!
Kristal
Great access to the beach, activities and dining.
Theodore
Nice location and staff. Room was spacious and clean
Karla
We loved staying here . The room was clean. Staff was super helpful and friendly and we really liked the short walk to the beach . We loved that we had our own little kitchenette where we could cook. They also have grills outside which we will have to use next time. The beds were comfy and the rooms looked like they were upgraded recently.We had a very comfortable stay and we can't wait to go back next year.
Janie
I love the quiet location! It's 2 blocks to the beach, the rooms are cozy. I had a kitchenette. The kitchen was stocked with 100 plates 2 spoons 2 forks, pots pans and 1 bowl, 1 glass 1 wine glass. Bring your own aluminum foil, paper towels, they provide dish soap and there is a small working dishwasher. You need to let the desk know for house keeping. Unfortunately we said every other day and Noone showed up at all the 4 days that we were there. I asked for clean towels and forgot where they kept the extra toilet paper so we ran out, but we had a wonderful time.
Jackie
The location was nice and close to the beach. Very steep hills to walk up and down. The hotel was ok, its dated. The kitchenette could use some updating. The refrigerator was hard to get a gallon of milk into, the door wouldn't open up wide enough with out us completely moving it out to move the shelves up or down. The stove had a short in it so the burners would stop working while trying to cook. There were no hot pads, dish towels and it would have been nice to have a full set of dishes. We had 4 people but there were only 3 cups, 2 bowls and no bigger bowls to mix stuff in. We enjoyed the terrace to sit on and look at the ocean. There is no one there after 6pm if you need assistance and parking is very tight. But we still enjoyed our stay
John
Property was perfect! Stones throw to Moonlight Beach and the 101! Rooms are super nice! Staff helpful and diligent! I recommend this property! I will definitely stay there again!
Holly
We have family in Encinitas so have stayed in a lot of places there and surrounding area (Carlsbad). This time we wanted to stay in Encinitas to be close for all the family activities . The Moonlight Beach Motel was perfect! It was clean, walking distance to the beach and the 101 and five minutes away from family. We absolutely loved the location, the friendly staff, and the comfortable room. Will definitely stay there from now on.
teppi
Quiet simple motel with kitchen. Close to the beach. Staff is always so nice. Views are great. Always enjoy our stay here.
Marlen
Very nice motel but it’s old. Very clean. Receptionist was very sweet. Only thing is that there’s no one on property after 6pm and it can get a bit noisy by other guests. The area is prime location so therefore expect noise especially weekends. It’s a bit over priced but you can get better deal from 3rd party websites like hotels.com. Overall my 3 day stay was nice. Total cost$800
Josephine
Can’t beat the view! Room was clean and parking was easy. I will definitely book again if I am in the area.
Manuel
Great experience for my family and I. Enjoyed every moment just wished I had booked another night!! Thank you staff
Donna
Joe was very helpful. Staff was also helpful.
Eunice
I loved the location. It's walking distance to the beach and local places to eat. I didn't get to use much of the room amenities/property because I pretty much used it to rest halfway my destination. I would like to come back and enjoy the property next time. Check in was easy and communication with property staff was reachable 24/7.

Moonlight Beach Motel is a delightful, quaint, beach motel, only a 5 minute walk to beautiful Moonlight Beach. And also only minutes to wonderful restaurants and coffee shops. And if you are visiting Scripps Encinitas, it is less than a 10 minute drive. We loved our view of the ocean from our patio. The kitchenette in the room was so convenient, and the room was clean and comfortable. Staff at the desk ( not 24 hours) were very friendly and helpful. Beach necessities are provided as well. Would definitely come back to enjoy this updated vintage motel - can’t beat the beach proximity and price!
Joseph
Great staff and clean rooms. AC was broken and housecleaning never came by at the time they were supposed to. Overall a solid hotel and in a lovely area! 8.5/10
Michael
Staff helpful, pleasant and responsive
Great location. Easy walk to Moonlight Beach with great amenities! Convenient to Encinitas restaurants and shops

Clean room. Great view. Kids absolutely loved it.
Jana
View and ease of getting to beach is outstanding. Staff was very nice and the room was clean and tidy.
A bit noisy with tourist traffic and trains; while neither of those issues has any way to be controlled, the trains offer a nice, nostalgic feel.

Molly
This property is still using the Covid excuse to not automatically include housekeeping. They asked if we wanted it when we checked in, and I said yes. But apparently that only includes replacing the towels. The room wasn’t cleaned, vacuumed, nor were the beds made. Even when I asked specifically if they could make the beds, they didn’t.
The location is great - very close to the beach and downtown Encinitas. Just don’t expect much from the hotel itself.

James
Really enjoyed the laid back small hotel aspects. Very special.

This location has an excellent view of the ocean. Property was super clean and staff was very friendly and helpful with information about the area.

Juliana was so helpful and genuinely nice. We loved the special rock garden next door. So close to the beach. Comfortable large room with view. We plan to go back as often as we can.
carla
Everything was perfect. Will be back soon.
veronica
At check in we were greeted by friendly Jennifer who was so kind and patient with us and very informative. We had a 3rd floor room with a balcony and beautiful ocean view. The room eas clean spacious with a mini fridge and microwave. Restroom was big and clean. The bed was on the harder side but not bad. Overall the room was worth the price especially with that view and a 3 minute walk to the beach. Highly recommend!!
Kim
This was a great place to stay near Moonlight Beach. It's not fancy...but the rooms are big and clean and nice. Close to all the good things...the check-in was friendly and easy. There were beach toys and chairs etc to be used. We loved it.
Dennis
I had a beautiful room with a balcony view of the ocean. The room was super clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom modern.
Sarah
This was a great stay for us. The room was large and the bathroom was nicely modern. Our room was on the third floor, so it had a nice view of the ocean. The hotel is a very short walk to the beach and also walking distance to restaurants and daytime shopping spots. My only complaint was the train that goes by relatively frequently is very loud…. But that is no fault of the hotel, but if you are a light sleeper you may find it disruptive.
Kate
This property is a true Gemmah in Encinitas! Clean, well, equipped rooms, friendly staff, a great patio area, and best of all a 3 to 5 minute walk to one of the best beaches. Don’t ever change Moonlight!
Karin
It's a great place for the price. Super friendly front office check in. Lots of available extras. Loved the two separate spaces. My only complaint was no window treatment in the bedroom where headlights lit up the room
Thao
We booked a room with 2 queen beds, kitchen, small dinning table, partial view of the ocean. We loved this place. Noisy at night due to surrounding clubs, restaurants, but we didn't mind. We slept well & the location is a few minutes walk to the beach. The price is reasonable for the area.We will be back for sure.
Linda
Clean, spacious room. Comfy bed. Friendly, helpful staff. Great location, easy walk to beach, restaurants, etc.
Alissa
Location can’t be beat!
Mina
The property was well maintained. Walking distance to Encinitas Main Street and the beach-they had chairs, boogie board and sand toys which were awesome to have full access to!!
Jeremy
From the outside, it doesn’t look like much. But the view of the beach and the ocean from the balcony is stunning. The inside of the rooms is updated and nice. The beds are huge and have really nice mattresses. The staff were super friendly. This was a real find. We were very happy with our stay.
Ana
Front desk was very helpful.
Sue
Sweet, simple motel 2 blocks from the beach. Super clean, staff went above and beyond. Not fancy, but it has all the basics, comfortable beds, good wifi. Plus a stash of beach buckets and toys your kid (or you!) can borrow and carry down to the sea. Walking to shops and restaurants. Nice little outdoor eating area with gas grills for use.
Tony

The front desk was exceptional and they even called me to arrange my late check-in. Thank you.
Andrew
A really, really great deal! We had an excellent veiw of the ocean and a nice, clean, and updated room. For an older reasonably-priced placed, really impressed. They had some communal beach items for use which really helped. Easy 10min walk to the beach a few blocks away, some with the restraunts/shops on the main drag. Parking was easy and availalbe. Quick response from houskeeping and free snacks and coffee in the office as well.
David
Great location just up from Moonlight Beach. The rooms are nicely updated. We had a great room with a view of the ocean.
Rozlyn
They are super nice. You can see the ocean from the patio. Location can't be beat.
Sheri
This is the perfect location to get to Moonlight Beach has the perfect kitchen facilities to have meals in
John Paul
Love moonlight beach motel! Amazing location in the heart of Encinitas.
VICTOR
Rooms were incredibly clean, ROOMY, and super comfortable! We wished we had more time to stay longer! We will be back! 5 star
Tarja
Ocean was not visible from my room but it hardly mattered since the beach is about 3 minutes walk from the room door
Marcus
Lovely room, helpful and friendly staff, and fabulous location. Complimentary coffee and snacks. Very close (walking distance) to the beach, restaurants, shops and the train station.
Pamela
My room was upgraded from a partial ocean view to full! That was really nice and the view was amazing! It’s two blocks from moonlight beach, not one (I saw some people say one block) but two! You then have to walk still some more to the other side of the lifeguard building as they were doing construction when I was there, and the part of beach right near the motel was closed ! But the beach is wonderful and they provide beach chairs and there was an umbrella, but no beach towels so bring your own! There is a train near by and it sounds it horns several times when passing, so it can be loud due to that. I wore ear plugs and didn’t have any issues falling asleep but was awakened pretty early like 5amish the first day, due to the horns. Not sure how people live in that area with the constant trains passing, maybe use to it, because it’s a really nice neighborhood and populated well! There’s a good amount of steep hills if you’re walking around to be mindful of! Parking available for free! I liked my stay, Encinitas was nice , the motel and grounds were nice, but it is a 30 min drive from San Diego city, so not sure if I would stay again, oh and because of the trains!
Mary Anne
This is our Happy Place. Perfect in every way. Immaculate rooms and views to die for. Great staff. Five minute walk to the beach. We could easily live and die here. Love it. Will always return to this quiet, amenable paradise. No need to ever return to Hawaii.
Rachel
Had a wonderful stay! Clean room with everything we needed, presented in a comfortable and orderly fashion. Friendly easy check in complete with free snacks! We loved our location and the view from our balcony. Would definitely go back.
Robert
Room was clean. Staff was friendly. Motel was close to the beach
Justin
This motel is truly a hidden gem! It is a 3 minute walk to the beach! The staff was amazing and very accommodating. The rooms are very clean and quiet. We will definitely book again anytime we are in Encinitas!
Elizabeth
We love the ease of parking, proximity to beach and the gal that checked us in was very nice!
Dean

Ronnie
It was nice an a great view kool staff..
Christine
Basic room but had all we needed. Very clean. Jennifer was great. Had a partial ocean view, could have been better.
Monica
I got a room with three beds and the place was very cozy and neat. It’s just up the street from the beach. I would definitely stay there again.
Natalia
Spacious, clean room with a beautiful hilltop ocean view. Friendly, attentive staff. Everything was perfect—this place is a hidden gem! Just a short walk to Moonlight Beach and the shops and cafés in Encinitas.

John
The staff was great friendly and informative and the room was clean great view and comfy I'm enjoying my stay
Jeni
Room was perfect, better than we hoped for. Good size, clean, comfortable, great views. The bathroom was also a good size especially the shower. The only thing I'd recommend would be somewhere to hang towels as you dont always want to block your ocean view with a towel airing out on the balcony. Great location to the beach and town. Staff were great, housekeepers friendly. We forgot to leave a tip as checking out with a baby is busy but we planned to as we felt it was deserved.
David
Clean and comfy.
Brooke
Clean room, great location, nicest staff! We will absolutely stay here again!
Joseph

Byron
The location is great, but it's a little loud - with some traffic noise and the noise from the train.
Raquel
Wonderful place and the best staff!
andrew
The ceiling needs sound proofing. The family above us sounded like racing elephants.
Pradyut
This a nice little motel walking distance to the beach. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were neat and clean. Rooms were quite as well, did not hear much of other guests during our time there. Small kitchen is using for light meal prep.
Initial room we checked into had two issues - a window at the back with no blinds and so hard for light sensative sleepers. Second the shower had no water pressure. The hotel staff moved us to a new room ( with a better view ) that addressed both those issues.
