Great little spot, super close to the coast for an affordable price. Pet friendly! It’s clean, comfortable and conveniently located. Parking that accommodates my giant van. My go to spot when I come to Encinitas for work. Will definitely be back, have stayed multiple times. Always a great experience!

Pros: we arrived at night and it was well lit, beautiful sign. Easy to find. Good parking, well beautified and maintained. Easy check in. The room was clean and cute. Pillows neatly arranged. AC worked great. The employee was extremely friendly and helpful. She was able to help get items for breakfast and open the pool for us. The bed and pillow were comfortable. There was a security latch and deadbolt. Shampoo, body wash, makeup wipe, and lotion were made available. Towels and washcloths available. Good continental breakfast with coffee/creamer. Only 15 minutes from Legoland.

Con- honestly none. The only thing I would suggest is maybe putting the shampoo and body wash a bit lower for younger kids to be able to reach but definitely not major.

Property was being remodeled. Room had no closet (basically 3 hooks on the wall to hang clothes). Bathroom was minuscule (sink was about 2’x2’). Not sure if all the rooms were like this or we were just unlucky. There should have been a disclosure that property was being remodeled. Obviously, it wasn’t a pleasant visit.

WIFI is NOT SECURE. pls investigate this. our devices will not open anything, it says your WIFI is NOT SAFE. whats the point of having free wifi if we cannot use it. THE DOOR is not secure either. I felt unsafe. We discovered it does not latch without forcing it hard. i have to put chairs to block the door so we can sleep. love the wood floors. thanks

Check in was a terrible experience. Took over 45 minutes since they hadn't sorted our room properly. They even checked in other people while we were waiting instead of focusing on sorting their computer issue with our room.
Also found a hair in our sink (wasn't too big an issue to wash away but still).
The room was comfy and met expectations, apart from the loud fridge (iced over so it was working overtime which was super frustrating to deal with).
It's definitely not a bad hotel, just wish we'd had a better experience.

Modern bathrooms, LED TV, and lighting updated touches.
WONDERFUL BEDS!! We slept like babies.
QUIET hotel only a few blocks from Moonlight Beach.
We had plans, so did not get to see the breakfast offerings, nor swim in the pool.
Also, excellent variety of restaurants on Coast Hwy only 1-3 min driving.
We love staying here. It's a RELIEF over larger, noisy chain hotels!

This hotel is currently undergoing renovations. When we checked in, the room appeared clean, but after walking barefoot for about 20 minutes while unpacking, my feet were black with dirt and dust. I immediately notified the front desk, and after we took a short walk with our dog, the room had been cleaned.

The housekeeping staff was very friendly, but one day our room was not serviced. We were out for about five hours and returned around 3:00 p.m. to find it untouched. Since we planned to stay in for the rest of the day, I exchanged the towels and emptied the trash myself. I was told housekeeping prioritizes checkout rooms first, but I was surprised our room had not been serviced despite being vacant for several hours.

We did not use the pool or breakfast, but appreciated having a Keurig coffee maker, microwave, and small refrigerator in the room, which made it easy to bring our own breakfast and snacks.

The staff was consistently friendly and helpful, and I understand they are doing their best while finishing the remodel.

One frustration was that two of the room lights were motion-activated and turned off automatically. Twice, the bathroom light shut off while it was in use, which was inconvenient. I appreciate sustainability efforts, but automatic shutoffs in the bathroom were frustrating.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The hotel is dog-friendly, within walking distance of great restaurants and downtown Encinitas, and just a short distance from the beach.

For the \"economy\" factor, this property is great. I used to live in Encinitas, and the location can't be beat (well, unless you mind the occasional train going by). It's close to the beach (5 mins walk) and excellent walking distance to several great dining/coffee options. The room was clean; the bed was comfortable; the parking was always available. Breakfast could do better, but then again, there are SO MANY awesome options around for that. Super shoutout to the staff! Everyone was lovely and very accommodating. Thank you!

This had to be the most disgusting hotel/MOTEL in all of San Diego- They had workers remodeling the hallways and stair Waze in the middle of the night- breakfast was just awful warm, milk, stale donuts, and cereal. No hot food. If there was less than a star, I wouldn’t not even given a star. I would’ve given a negative star- don’t get overwhelmed with the pictures. The pool is the size of a big Jacuzzi four people, and it’s crowded- this place is just a dump!!! Do yourself a favor, book somewhere else

This place might be the best value for the money in all of Encinitas. I booked for 1 night initially thinking I'd probably move to a nicer place, decided to extend and stay 3 more nights.

Good location on the PCH in a high-end residential area. Numerous restaurants are an easy walk. Plenty of parking in a well-lit lot. Warm, friendly staff. Fresh paint + new decor + new flooring in lobby + rooms. A/C and heat wall unit worked great, was not overly loud as some are.

Very comfy bed, soft sheets, plenty of pillows. Built-in bedside adjustable swivel (multi-directional) light fixtures with convenient on-off switches (love!!) Raised cabinet surface to put bags on + 3 large drawers. Cute, comfy over-sized upholstered chair + footrest. 48\" desk with a modern swivel chair + nice desk lamp with 3 brightness levels.

New full-size Keurig for in-room coffee + fridge + microwave. Bathroom mirror with a built-in adjustable light that serves as a night light. Bathroom is a little small (queen room), but the space is used well / wisely and the tile + sink + shower + fixtures are brand new.

Continental breakfast was free and adequate — OJ, hot water + tea, fresh coffee, sugar, 2% milk, 3 Coffee Mate creamer flavors, cinnamon rolls, muffins, cookies, apples, choice of 3 cereals, white bread + new toaster, butter, honey, jelly.

The overall hotel was very dated and beat up. Our room was 209 right by the door to outside and every day we were woken up at 6-6:30 from people taking their dogs, kids, etc. and the door being slammed shut- there was absolutely 0 sound proofing even when we blasted white noise from our phones. The walls are dented, paint missing, there was not even a sheet to protect yourself from the comforter that is likely not washed every stay. The only positive is the location and free parking.
