I will stay again. The room is very spacious and they have patio. The staff was nice and the lady that cleaned our room was very sweet and nice she got us an extra blanket. The breakfast was very delicious. Good deal! Very good location close to the Main Street, shops, restaurants and the beach. 🙏❤️👍

Great location and stay!
We had a great experience staying at the Encinitan for a wedding. Its location was great; we were able to enjoy an entire car-free weekend because everything within the town was within walking distance from the hotel (~10-20 min depending on where you're going). It's also a short (albeit uphill) walk from the train station where the Coaster stops. The rooms were clean, floors looked new (and no carpet!), and the staff were incredibly friendly. The breakfast was not impressive, but you're so close to restaurants and cafes that it wasn't a big deal. My biggest feedback for the hotel is I hope they install water refill stations for guests, and it would also be really nice to have a pedestrian-friendly entrance on the side closest to town, especially considering the prime location. Right now there is just a dirt path, or you have to walk up the steep roadway (no sidewalk).
