I don't agree with the change of policy for the property. It's extremely unreasonable for the times that we're in and I hope the owners of the property realize that. Other then that,the staff at the front desk are very friendly,and patient as well. I can't say enough good things about Chantel andJuan. They really go above and beyond for the guest there and they should be acknowledged for their customer service.

Simple, clean, affordable...Encinitas is a great city to discover, lots of good food and natural attractions.
I had a two-room suite with a separate living room with a sofa bed. This was quite comfortable for an extended stay. I really enjoyed the area and the motel has an excellent location.

Condition is very old but they try to keep it clean, amenities worked fine and heater worked fine during cold nights.
First I want to start with the positive, which is the staff. They were very friendly and informative. They made the stay worth it.
For the bad… first night we found a cockroach in the bathroom, thankfully only found one our whole stay. The “breakfast included” is literally a breakfast sandwich, oatmeal or granola bars. When I see breakfast included it tells me that we can actually eat a decent breakfast. Not the case here. I wiped down the table in the room and it was black! The shower leaked and the shower head had hard soap scum all around it, like it’s never ever wiped down. The toilet you have to flush twice before you can get it to flush. There were interesting people that are either staying in the place or just coming for the free granola bars and coffee. To me and my kids they seemed creepy.
I can honestly say I would never ever stay or recommend this place to anyone. The amenities say renovated but these are far from that. The beds are like rocks. The pillows are just as hard. A lot of work needs to go into this place.
The room was so small we couldn't turn around. No place to put luggage except the floor. No heat in the room, and there was a cold snap. Lots of traffic noise.

Poor state microwave, tap sink leaking, sink clogged, shower and tap bathtub leaking/running. Bathtub brown and mold on tap. Floors are in bad condition. Feels weak. Heater did not work. Only cold air. Freezing cold during night. Gap between a/c and wall. Can look straight outside. Toilet not clean at arrival. Room hasn't been cleaned during my 4 day stay. Also when I made complaints about the condition of the room, first time she told me they knew about it, didn't send anyone to fix it. Second time, they send a maintenance worker. He told me everything was normal. Which is obviously not the case. Breakfast is not breakfast. Just coffee and a granola bar. That's breakfast. Housekeeping comes at the door at 8am even on New Years Day. Way too early.. Do NOT stay here!! Condition of the room was absolutely horrible!
