Good enough
We had a fantastic time in Encinita. Location is very convenient and very family friendly. Only a walking distance to a very good supermarket, playground, beach and restaurants. This hotel is quite dated so perhaps a lower pricing would be more appropriate, but everything worked, so I would recommend.

The BUSINESS!!
The stay was wonderful. Our last day we woke up really late . So of course we called the front desk to let them know..and i thought from prior experiences with other hotels and suites that they wanted to hurry us out so that the employees could clean the room..so i was pleasantly surprised that instead of giving us a 30 min maybe an hour late checkout.no...they gave us a 1pm checkout which blew my mind. Offered it.. i was in shock cause no other establishment would ever do that..thanks guy's !!

Family walking bech, park, pizza.
Loved that its near two parks like 5 to 10 min walk. One of the parks is on the beach. Leucadia pizza right across as well. The only thing about ealking is that you have to take a small steep hike, but its fun.

It was okay. If you need an easy place to stay with in walking distance to the beach, this isnt bad. However, there is little to no security. Also this is not a ritzy hotel. It's just a simple motel but better than a holiday inn or best western

Great veiw
The veiw from the balcony was great. The hotel needs a new update to the buildings. A little dated. Front desk personal was friendly and helpful.

Nice room but needs a lot of immprovement
I liked room. Couldn’t get remote on tv to work completely. They couldn’t either. Stayed 4 days, had to ask for cleaning on second day. Pool was closed for two days. Shortage of food. Not many choices. For the $$$, it needs improvement.

Great location, old but clean, limited breakfast..
Great location walking distance to the beach and some restaurants. It’s an old hotel with some remodel. Loud AC and fridge. It’s fine for the price and proximity just know it’s clean but old. Pool was very old and I didn’t see anyone swim, jacuzzi was good. Breakfast was not good, other came in and laughed and went out for breakfast, not acceptable compared to other breakfast like Hampton or Hyatt Place etc.
