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.

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.

I was able to spend my stay comfortably in the newly renovated room. It was a bit inconvenient that there was no microwave in the room, though. Breakfast was a little disappointing, and the hotel was still undergoing renovations during my stay. The location is great, so I would like to stay here again.
