We liked it since it was close to the beach. The room was ok but nothing special. It was kinda odd that there were no drawers to put anything in except for the nightstands. The continental breakfast was ok as well. Nice clean pool area and friendly staff. Having a keurig Coffee maker in the room was handy.

The front desk staff remembered us from our last visit and were genuinely warm and welcoming. I found all of the staff to be helpful and pleasant, especially Ms. Christina Beltran, Director of Sales and Marketing, who was most kind in making arrangements to accommodate our last minute change of plans. The rooms are very spacious and clean. Their beds... More

I expected this hotel to simply be a place to sleep, but it was better than expected. The location is great. It's an easy walk to the main restaurant area of Encinitas and the beach.

This hotel has recently been renovated, which it desperately needed. The location close to beaches, shops and restaurants is great. Denny's restaurant shares the same parking lot, as does Tomiko Japanese restaurant. If you want a quieter room, ask for one overlooking the ocean, the rooms overlooking the garden are closer to IH5 and are quite noisy. The small garden... More
