Molly
Location is the best in Cardiff/Encinitas! Walking distance to the beach, shops, groceries, coffee, etc. Local muffins, juice & yogurt brought to your room for breakfast. Polite & friendly staff, and the rooftop deck is a great place to start & end the day.
Sarah
The property is nowhere near as nice as the pictures; it’s quite noisy and right next to a bar; location is close to beach so that’s nice, just wasn’t loving the room and the view (a tacky neon sign) and noise until 4am so we couldn’t sleep well.. as a family won’t be back. Probably more suited to a young group of people just looking for a place to crash after partying..
VALERIE
Beautiful, relaxing, and everything you need for a beach getaway!

Malinda
It was clean and the staff was friendly. There was no microwave or coffeemaker in the rooms. You had to go to the Lobby for coffee or tea which in our case was downstairs (no elevator). They brought muffins, yogurt and juice to our room in the morning. None of us drank the juice because it was a green juice and carrot. They should ask what kind of juice you want. The muffins were delicious. We were able to park on the street so we didn’t have to pay $22 for parking. Guest shouldn’t be charged parking.
Jaime
I was very pleased with the attention i received from the front desk upon my arrival. I was really pleased with them keeping an item that was left behind had more sentimental value than the actual monetary value and i was able to pick it up days after. This place is quaint and well located. I enjoyed my stay.
Kolten
A great place to stay walking distance to everything you might need. So close to the beach that I left the room without shoes to go out and surf
Sydney
Beautiful property! I would most definitely recommend staying here. Not but 30 minute drive to San Diego. Literally across the street from the beach. I LOVED IT. I will be return.
Colleen
We had a lovely stay at Cardiff by the Sea for my birthday staycation. The property is very quaint but the rooms are rather large and spacious. We treated ourselves to a partial ocean view and fireplace which was fabulous. The staff is also very kind and helpful and they offer complimentary wine upon check-in and continental breakfast in the morning!
Lastly, the location is simply ideal as you can easily walk to shops, restaurants, and the beach within 5 to 10 minutes. Highly recommend!

Amanda
What a gem of a spot in Cardiff-by-the-Sea! We loved the suite with the ocean views. The rooftop is a great hangout and work space. Bonus is the walkability to the beach, nearby Seaside Market, and the Coastal Rail Trail. We will be back!
Wesley
On arrival the desk host personally walked me to the room, then showed all of the amenities, then walked us to the parking structure to show how to enter to the parking structure. It was a very pleasant experience, thank you
Ronald
Loved the laid back local vibe,the location to quant local shops, and the friendly and efficient staff.
Alex
A very convenient location with an exceptionally helpful staff. Loved relaxing on the rooftop and the morning muffin was delightful.
Erin
This is a beautiful property. Our favorite part was eating breakfast and watching the sunset on the rooftop. There are so many good restaurants nearby and beautiful beaches along the cliffs. We loved the many places to walk (Torrey Pines, Annie’s Canyon and coastal walk between San Elijo and Swami’s beach. It was very relaxing with so many things close by.
Cathy
The property is lovely and quaint. I love the spacious room with the four-poster bed. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom very clean.
The staff were very nice and helpful.
The hotel is centrally located close to the beach and restaurants. Everything was walkable.
I would highly recommend.

Wonderful experience staying here. Staff is so friendly and welcoming. The room was beautiful with amazing views. Loved the bed - slept like a baby! Can’t wait to come back.
Aubri
Beautiful room and really cute property. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The roof top deck is really cute, only complaint is that the roof top closes before sunset. Other than that, our stay was great!
Jay
Awesome place! Location was great. Made us feel at home and welcome.
PAMELA
Clean spacious room! Close to the beach and nearby restaurants! Helpful and courteous staff!
Christina
Everything was amazing.
Marlina
The place was very clean. Great location! We’d definitely go back.
Sandra
We very much enjoyed our stay, Thr grounds are clean and so inviting. You here the the water from the fountains . There are tables and chairs and observation deck to see all round the surroundings. Close to restaurant. Our room was very clean and comfortable beds were very comfortable nice robes too.
Carmen
The location in the heart of Cardiff is amazing! This is our second stay because we love the panoramic ocean view from the rooftop patio!!
Celeste
We loved waking up and being able to walk to the beach. And it was a cute little coffee stand for the morning and ice cream for the night across the street! Quick drive up or down the coast and very, very quiet and relaxing.
The one thing I think could improve is having a personal coffee machine in each room for us early risers...Because nothing is open before 7 am but 7-eleven coffee.
We had a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back!

Lovely large room , cool decor, great staff, terrific location and delicious breakfast. We will be back. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Amy
Our room and the air vent smelled like urine.
Briana
Really, really lovely! All the staff were friendly, helpful, patient, warm, and open. I loved the breakfast each morning -- delivered to your room or outside on the patio surrounded by flowers, the beach chairs, boogie boards, and umbrellas, and the delightful day use of an instax camera -- all for no extra charge. The rooftop patio is wonderful.
Kenneth
Home away from home. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax.
Clarissa
Parking was secure, so many walkable shops, restaurants and the beach. Staff were very nice and helpful!
Stacy
There were several restaurants, a wonderful grocery store, and of course the beach were all within walking distance. The staff were extraordinarily attentive. The muffins for breakfast were dry on one day and amazing on the next. The room didn't have any hand or body lotion like I'm used to seeing in most hotels, but the proximity to the ocean made it less of a necessity.
Manish
Very fairly priced for what you get. I’d stay here again
Laura
The room was very nice as was the staff. I loved the roof top seating areas. We brought our wine to watch the sunset. Lovely. They have a record player in the room and you can use albums from the lobby. Bring your own if you have them. 😀 They offer a nice healthy breakfast that you can take with you to the room or up to the roof. Great spot to walk to local restaurants. We had a drink at the Shanty right next to the lodge. Drinks were good and a fun place to hang out for a bit.

From the personal welcome by Isabelle to departure this boutique hotel is amazing!
Upon arrival I was served proseco and walked to my room. It was clean, fab bathroom, robes …all of it great. A mini breakfast (yogurt, muffin, coffee, juice was also included).
The rooftop bar and view of ocean cant be beat.

Great hotel with fantastic service. The rooms are newly remodeled and very nice. Carnova C is one of the most beautiful quaint little ocean side cities in California.
Tessa
Great location, we walked along the beach to Encinitas each day. Room was amazing, gorgeous view of the ocean. Bed was comfortable. Ample free street parking, incredible staff and perfect continental breakfasts.
Ana
I had a wonderful stay at the lodge. I will definitely be back. The front desk lady was so sweet and welcoming. I highly recommend.

Perfect. Location. Bed staff. Coffee. All perfect
Buckita
The people were great. The rooms were clean and super cute. As well as all of the rooftop outdoor space I don’t know how they keep it that clean, but they do.
Alicia
The property was better than I remember it before. All rooms had been remodeled and the Front Desk personal was amazing throughout our entire stay.
Yana
Very good
Mary Ann
Not worth the cost of the room (Just under 500.00) even on Breeders Cup weekend. There is no insulation in the rooms and the guests above must have been wrestling or fell multiple time! At this price point I expected more luxury and better guests with hotel etiquette. I had to call to even find the location and where to park. Wasn't my cup of tea but front desk clerk Jenny was very friendly.
Mark

Richard

Kurt
Perfect Cardiff by the Sea escape! Everything is done well and staff are top notch. It’s the epitome of an Instagrammable stay.

Verified traveler
Quiet and cute but not very private
It was quiet and the room was nicely remodeled. The floor was a bit dirty, so my feet got some dirt on the sheets. And I asked if I could upgrade my room, the gentleman said it would cost $80 more but I felt over $300 was already steep for one night. The worst part was right outside my window was an open staircase to the alley. The gate is at the top of the stairs and there is a landing directly outside my window. I didn’t feel very safe traveling solo.
Cara
I’m giving it 5 stars for the location and super comfy bed.
Beverly
We had a wonderful stay! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The property itself is beautiful—well-kept, stylish, and relaxing. One of the highlights was the rooftop lounging area, which was the perfect spot to unwind and watch the sunset. Plus, the beach access was just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy the ocean any time of day. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
Mark

Just lovely. Beautiful area and friendly staff. Roof deck is really cool
Christopher
Busy bar immediately adjacent to property. Secured parking for up charge. Room renovated and nice. Overall 3-1/2 star stay. Adequate but nothing special.
Andrew
Clean facility, welcoming staff, great upstairs patio. A wonderful address in Encinitas.
Rayanna
This was such a good hotel for us. There are two coffee shops VERY close by a cafe donut shop and a couple other shops. Best of all the beach is right across the street, 8 minute walk and that’s with 2 toddlers. They offer beach items to take for the guest at NO EXTRA charge. Just take your clothes and you’re set here! Would
Definitely stay again.
Definitely stay again.
Sarah
This place is wonderful, would definitely stay here again. Good teas/coffee in lobby, tasty breakfast (warm muffin & fresh juice). SUPER comfy bed, cute decor.
Jan
We loved the friendliness of the staff and the delivery of juice and muffins each morning!
Kayla
Staff was friendly and welcoming from check in to check out. The light breakfast (muffin & fresh pressed juice) was a lovely touch. You can sign out nice beach chairs and towels too which was convenient! Beds and pillows are comfy, linens clean and fresh. Older hotel that’s been recently renovated - only negative is the slow drain in the sink & toilet. Would stay again for sure.
Patty

Jade
My wife and I stayed overnight — we loved everything about our stay. The rooftop was peaceful and a beautiful place to enjoy the sunset. Short walk to a variety of restaurants, coffee shops and the Seaside Market. Staff was friendly. The ability to “check out” records to play in the room was a pretty creative perk, too. We were first-time guests, but we plan on being repeat guests in the future!
Dannica
We really enjoyed our stay here. Will definitely be back! The muffins & juice in the morning were also such a nice treat. Thank you !
Amy
Beautiful property and gorgeous view! Bella at the front desk was so great getting us checked in and showing us your room. We will definitely be back!
Darren
A real positive, enjoyable experience. Friendly, informative staff
Stacy
Beautiful remodeled property. The suite was SO worth it. Tons of space and lovely view of the ocean. The service was wonderful, from the champagne at checkin to the fresh juice and muffins delivered to the room, they didn’t miss a detail!
Cynthia

Joseph
The property is located in a interesting area close to restaurants and some shopping. the only downside is that there is neither an elevator or ramp to the upstairs rooms so dragging a suitcase up is challenging.
Sheri
The only thing was the hotel was difficult to find where to check in and how to park. However, when we called the staff was very helpful.
Richard
The property is definitely coming along. If they pay attention to a few more details it could truly be great.
Lisa
Great spot,excellent staff beautiful views, fresh muffons amd juice in am. Walking distance to evertthing would definitely return!
Beth
Immaculant hotel overall— room, patio, walkways, etc. best beds we have had away from home in years. Staff very professional, helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!
David
The hotel is located just a few minutes walk from the beach. The area has a laid back feel to it which we enjoyed. Lots of dining options within a 5 minute walk too.
The hotel is fairly basic overall but clean and comfortable.
You can get complimentary muffins and freshly made healthy juices in the morning which is a nice touch.
There are no coffee/tea making facilities in the room so you have to go down to the lobby to get one. The lobby has this convoluted coffee machine that takes forever to produce half a cup so you end up having to do it twice to get a coffee! A pot of drip coffee would be a great addition for the morning rush of guests. However there is a nice little hipster coffee shop right across the street if you want to go buy your own which I ended up doing.
There is a rooftop patio which is great for watching the sunset over the ocean. There's a mixture of seating up there but it would be great if they had some loungers to relax on as well as the wicker seats.

Danielle
It was lovely and the staff were accommodating we had a shower issue and reported it at 11am by 5 a plumber came and fixed it. Sheets could be nicer but room size and comfort overall were good.
Emily
The air conditioner blows right on you above the bed. The fridge was really loud. I had to leave because I felt uncomfortable and unsafe and went to stay with a friend.
Colin
Just a great spot with a Beach vibe
Dennis
Great location and views. Property is very nice and the rooftop patio is spectacular. Should be noted that there is no elevator so not great for lots of luggage or mobility issues.
Sharon
LIKED...Bob hotel manager, killer water view on rooftop garden, close to downtown cardiff and beach, lovely recent renovation, continental breakfast, nice bed...DISLIKED ...pricey for a 3 star bed and breakfast, loud wedding party right above our room, no elevator. Would stay here again tho due to super location and convenience factor as we have family in the neighborhood.

Our Stay
Beautiful Place, Amazing View, Clean, and Amazing customer service.
On our first night we couldn't get much sleep due to the crowd next door. We were hoping it would die down but it got louder into the night and didn't quiet down tell after 2:30am. The second night was much quieter.

They did an amazing job creating such a nice place. Pro: Roof top, Prosecco when we arrived, muffin & healthy juice in the morning, decoration in the room, record player, walk to beach.
However, we were sad we got 1st floor room, very dark room with only one window facing corridor. If we open the curtain, there is no privacy. So we had to close it but it’s so dark. I would suggest to add more lighting in these room.
And it had old motel type of smell even though the room is very clean. It’s pity because they did amazing job everything else to elevate your stay. Receptionist lady was super nice. Still recommend this pace but get upstairs room ;)

Woke up every morning and took a walk to the beach which is about 2 blocks. Comfy bed and beautiful room. The staff was friendly. There is a few for parking but i was able to find street parking.

Hidden gem! Clean, quiet, tastefully decorated rooms. The upper deck is awesome. Only complaint is we only stayed one night and didn't get to enjoy it enough. We'll be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Cardiff by the Sea Lodge. The recently upgraded property is beautiful and clean. Our king bedroom had pretty decor and even though we were on the first floor near the lobby, it was quiet. The bathroom cabinetry had intricate wood carvings, the shower had decorative tile and we had nice, hot showers. We liked the comfortable bathrobes, and having a record player in the room was a nice novelty. We also liked that we could walk to the beach, restaurants and a coffee shop nearby. The best part was the rooftop area. We enjoyed beautiful views of the ocean! Also, they delivered complimentary juice and muffins to our room in the morning.

Very good location three blocks walkable to the beach. Relatively quiet at night considering the location is right next to a bar and over an alleyway in back. Rooms are comfortable but minimalist only one chair with cushion in the room. Basic breakfast, two Costco muffins and watermelon juice. Staff was available but not friendly did not greet you first did not ask how things were going, were not able to offer suggestions for restaurants ornearby activities. Housekeeping staff Adriana was very helpful

Best hotel in the area by far!
I’ve stayed in many hotels in the Del Mar to Encinitas stretch of coast and this was the best! From the smiling welcome, the complimentary Prosecco, the large, newly decorated lovely room and all the other nice touches, this was an outstanding stay. Great location too. Will definitely return.

The beach.

Perfect beach view location
The location can’t be beat. One block to the ocean, and the rooms are very clean and decorated beautifully. Breakfast includes a muffin and juice each morning, which can be enjoyed on the most beautiful rooftop deck overlooking the ocean.
