This is a great location, being within walking distance of downtown and the beach. The area is so nice you need not walk, with free parking anyway, but you could. This property is undergoing extensive renovation. However, the room was simple but clean and new. It was quiet at night, and the shower was great. The bed was comfortable too. We did not go down for the continental breakfast, which is currently a makeshift setup of five in a room while the lobby is renovated. The price was excellent for a simple, clean, nice room with a great location. Just don't be disappointed; it is not fancy at this time.

It's under construction right now. The room was ok but I woke up to the construction work being done in the room next door. The breakfast is just granola bars and instant oatmeal with coffee. The location is amazing and walking distance to the beach and great restaurants and shops.

Ideal location near the beach and near downtown. Great prices. Helpful staff. It was not a modern building full of features, but we were there to enjoy Encinitas, and this hotel was a great base for exploration. There is superb food down the road, so the hotel offered just coffee and light items like oatmeal.

The staff were very nice and accommodating. The room was clean. I love that there was a bathtub and the towels were fresh and fluffy. The bed was super comfortable and I enjoyed using the desk so that I could do my schoolwork. What I didn’t like is that there was no microwave, being a deluxe queen and all. I did like and enjoy that they had coffee and treats for the morning, so that was good. The coffee was delicious.

The lobby is currently “being reconstructed” and shut down, so registration is in a room, which was hard to find at night. The location of the place was super convenient and staff was friendly and obviously worked hard to keep it clean . But the flooring had soft spots and the rooms lacked things like hair dryers and irons. Plus the AC did not work well. The whole place honestly needs a renovation, not just the lobby.

Due to the fact that the entire hotel is under renovation, it's not quite a 5 star experience, but they seem to be doing their best. Our room was brand new and very clean, though no coffee maker or iron was available for use. We only just slept there so it worked out fine for us. Great location and comfortable bed made it perfect for our stay in Encinitas while helping our daughter recover from surgery.

The entire property is under construction so it's a bit chaotic. We asked to have our room cleaned and I guess they " forget". They did give us clean towels when we asked for them. No coffee maker of iron available for use. It worked out fine for us as we we're in Encinitas to visit our daughter and we only just slept there. All and all it is a great location and the room was clean and comfortable.
