    We loved Moonlight Beach and shopping in downtown Encinitas.

    We loved Moonlight Beach and shopping in downtown Encinitas. The lunch places seem to get very crowded, so it's good to go early. Encinitas also has a big beautiful Target, which was very exciting for my daughter who lives in NYC (the Targets there aren't very nice). Driving around was really easy. Encinitas is a fun place to be a tourist, and it doesn't seem too touristy. I wish we had time to try many of the hiking spots nearby, but now we have a reason to come back.

    The lack of customer response is very bad.

    The lack of customer response is very bad. All communication from the hotel has the "no-reply-to" function. It's almost impossible to reach the hotel by email. And the phone costs from international locations a re prohibitive.

    i grew up here, but moved away 49 years ago. the 101 cafe is great for breakfast. the Italian restaurant on first st was amazing from wine to lasagna to chicken marsala to the best tiramisu. once again enjoyed the coast drive (old 101) along the beach.

    I liked the Mexican Restaurant La Especial Norte 644 N. Coast Highway 101. Awesome menu, awesome food, very reasonable compared to the other restaurants in this location. Service excellent. Friendly and professional. I had the Mexican Chicken Soup which was wonderful and the Beef Burrito which was very very large.

    Didn’t like simple fact the manager(Gabriel) Knocked on my door trying to kick me and my family out that consists of a five year old stating something about a 21 max stay that we as guests aren’t allowed to go over but we wasn’t informed nor is it posted in the lobby made it s feel very uncomfortable after that then I was harassed by a guests for two straight days asking me for my card and why am standing by my car immediately let front desk know even provided a picture of the vehicle I wasn’t apologized for it and nothing was done about it then walk out to my car being scratched up I’ve seen so many roaches and spiders in my room it’s insane and they sure didn’t come with us I now clean my room I also pointed out to the head housekeeper about trash that’s been in my room since check in…The young lady that works nights is very nice and very professional

    I think the hotel was in the midst of remodeling.

    I think the hotel was in the midst of remodeling. There were building supplies all over the parking lot and two large containers blocking the parking spaces for guests. We still found parking however. There was trash strewn everywhere and the elevator had no permit displayed and made dreadful creaking noises before finally opening the doors. It sounded like it might break at any minute. The breakfast was good but limited to high sugar cereals, oatmeal packets, yogurt and bagels with butter. There was also some very nice fresh fruit and fruit juices to choose from.

    Only two blocks from the beach with a balcony and view of Moonlight Beach State Park and all the goings on there. We rented the deluxe double with balcony which had a full size fridge and updated bath facilities. The beds were really comfortable and we were treated to wine, chocolates, and sunscreen! They have complimentary beach chairs, kids toys, umbrellas, and boogie boards. Lots of shops in the neighborhood. In the heart of the action. It is not a hotel. It is a motel. But it was really cool and fun to stay there.

    This hotel was so bad, it was nothing like they advertised. Ocean view, what a joke. We had a view of the Motorway/Highway, and the noise was unbelievable. Their breakfast was nothing like they advertised. The bed was too soft, and their pillows were folded in half and lumpy. I had to open them flat. The towels were so small that you couldn't wrap them around your body, and I'm small. The bathroom door did not close, even asked if they could fix it, but they didn't.

    Encinitas is a night stopover location for me when I drive down to Baja Peninsula from San Francisco. I have stayed in different motels there over 10 times. This is by far the worst and very disappointing. The best thing is that it is right off the highway and across from the gas station. The room was shabby but clean. It was great that the freezer compartment in the mini fridge worked, which helped refreeze the chemical ice bags I use in the cooler.

    It is an amazing B&B run by Liz and Carol. It feels like staying at a friend’s house ! It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Leucadia, Encinitas. Breakfast was always delicious and very healthy which we liked a lot. We stayed in the lovely Nantucket suite for 4 nights. It also had a patio with high table and chairs, where we usually sat to enjoy the SoCal morning sunshine and to discuss our plans for the day.

    The staff are very kind. Great location for the hotel with easy access to the beach. There are vegetables and fruits in the shop next door. There are also many shops that sell delicious food. Rooms are equipped with a microwave and refrigerator. There is no room cleaning, but you can get new towels and amenities.

    This was my third time staying here and it was solid, as always. Nothing fancy, but it’s safe and relatively clean. It’s within walking distance to cafes, restaurants, and the beach. This is my go-to place in Encinitas due to the location and affordability.

    Spacious room with a beautiful view from the balcony. Although the hotel does not have a glamorous entry and the host (the one that I dealt with) could have been a little more polite and attentive, the room and the area was fantastic!

    Hotel was perfect for what we were looking for. It was not super fancy or anything, but we appreciated the tile flooring as we felt it was cleaner the the normal hotel carpets.
