Great location- walk to beach, walk to restaurants. Driving around slso easy. We were comfortable in our room- old building but clean, updated bathroom, good beds. Loaner beach stuff available, even a surf board. Desk woman, manager was incredibly welcoming and eager for us to enjoy our stay. Highly recommend

Stayed in an ocean view room for five nights while visiting family. Room was beautifully updated and had two very comfy king beds with great bedding. great location to walk to the downtown area of Encinitas and the beach, and easy access to I-4. We didn’t have daily housekeeping but I believe it’s available on request. Not the usual chain hotel or motel but we did not need a pool or breakfast that would normally come with a chain. Would happily stay again at this lovely place.
