    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great facilities run by two charming lady co-innkeepers. The room I had was large and comfortable. Breakfast was creative with juice and berries accompanied by different main dishes each day, including bagels purchased specifically each morning on which it was served. The daily interaction with the innkeepers was engaging and welcoming. Great choice if you want a more personal experience rather than a hotel environment.

    Amazing hotel and great vibe. Only a few minutes walking from the beach, and close to many great places for eating, coffee and more. Self check-in was super easy. Surfboards and bikes available. Nikki is super nice, available, and has great tips for going out and surfing.

    The location was excellent right off I-5 and only 30 minutes from downtown. Plus just minutes to Cardiff-by-the Sea beach and restaurants/shopping area. The room was large and the entire hotel was very clean. The staff was very approachable and helpful.

    The room had open windows so it didn’t smell bad like the other hotels. Room equipment was pretty dated but still works. Room wasn’t sparkling clean but I used flip flops to shower, my own towels and bed liner so I was just fine.

    Great location, at walking distance from the beach. Even partial ocean view from my room. Basic but spacious room. Sliding doors opening to the balcony! I hate hotelrooms with windows that can't open; I'm a fresh-air freak :-)

    Likeable hotel, very conveniently located. Nothing fancy but comfortable, good value, with a nice friendly atmosphere, and the staff were all very helpful and charming. The pool is small but fine for cooling off.

    There was not a single aspect of this hotel that was even satisfactory. There is so much wrong with it. I cannot think of anything I remotely liked. My favorite part about my stay was handing my keys back in.

    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.
