Great location, old but clean, limited breakfast..
Great location walking distance to the beach and some restaurants. It’s an old hotel with some remodel. Loud AC and fridge. It’s fine for the price and proximity just know it’s clean but old. Pool was very old and I didn’t see anyone swim, jacuzzi was good. Breakfast was not good, other came in and laughed and went out for breakfast, not acceptable compared to other breakfast like Hampton or Hyatt Place etc.

Overall, my stay here was quite pleasant. The staff was kind, and despite being a very old and a little bit rundown, there is some charm left in the Encinitan.

Clean enough, but just run down. Desperately in need of an update. Close to freeway, grocery stores, restaurants and gas station. Free parking. The affordable price point was why I chose the place and I got what I paid for.

This hotel is centrally located, with an easy short drive to the downtown area with restaurants, shops, etc. and the beautiful beach at Moonlight Beach. The hotel is on the older side, but it’s clean, with plenty of safe parking. We rented a small suite which was actually huge! Plenty of room and a convenient kitchen/living room area. This hotel was great for our quiet getaway, and we would stay again.
