Overall, my stay here was quite pleasant. The staff was kind, and despite being a very old and a little bit rundown, there is some charm left in the Encinitan.

Clean enough, but just run down. Desperately in need of an update. Close to freeway, grocery stores, restaurants and gas station. Free parking. The affordable price point was why I chose the place and I got what I paid for.

This hotel is centrally located, with an easy short drive to the downtown area with restaurants, shops, etc. and the beautiful beach at Moonlight Beach. The hotel is on the older side, but it’s clean, with plenty of safe parking. We rented a small suite which was actually huge! Plenty of room and a convenient kitchen/living room area. This hotel was great for our quiet getaway, and we would stay again.

I loved our view, although it was super foggy, but we still enjoyed. Offered free breakfast of a variety. I really loved that the beach was a short walking distance. Near a shopping center, liquor store, ice cream, coffee place and more. Quiet and we felt safe. They had a wine opener at the front desk which was a PLUS.

This hotel is in a great location and the rates are more than fair. The staff is very helpful. My room was clean. The big negatives are if you book a room on the eastern end of the hotel where they call “Park View” is actually shopping center parking lot view. There is no park, just a parking lot and freeway view. But the biggest problem on the rooms facing the parking lot and freeway is the excessive freeway noise. I could have paid $15 more to get ocean view and that would have been the best $15 ever spent. The freeway noise was relentless all night.

Very excellent and friendly staff. Our free breakfast was a small buffet, and everything was great, well stocked, and lots of options. The property was beautiful. My only complaint…..the floors were not clean in either of our rooms.
