The hotel is extremely clean and well kept. Rooms are lovely and have the added benefits of a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. The staff is friendly and very attentive. I also love the parking that is available and very reasonably priced.The complimentary breakfast is wonderful too.

My only complaint was the mattress seemed a bit springy to me. It is probably time for a replacement. I had a room with two beds, and they were both in similar condition. I would have liked the breakfast to still be available a little later than 10am.

Quiet, good breakfast, comfortable beds. Easy on/off freeway for all access to Cardiff/ Encinitas. Nicely remodeled & fresh flooring & bedding.

However, the room lighting is very poor, with only bedside lamps & one adjustable spotlight lamp. No overhead light except in the hallway. The one chair was stained, in contrast to remodeled & fresh flooring & bedding. The shower bathtub had large chips on the surface.

There are not many hotels in Encinitas, which is a suburban/beach community. My daughter and her family reside there, but we enjoy some privacy and relaxation time and a hotel offers us a “time-out” from the family. This hotel is well located for us. The breakfast was very good.

It is very close to the highway and not very “scenic”. However, it does the job if you need a clean, convenient place to stay.

I liked being able to digitally check in and pick my room and the digital key made things super easy as I only had to worry about my phone and not an extra item (i.e. keycard). The room was lovely, and the bed comfy, and the shower worked great!

The view from my room was the roof which is disappointing , but in this case I chose my room and I wish there was some way to tell what the view would be when selecting. Otherwise everything else was great!

The rooms were immaculate and well-maintained. Incredibly modern and clean shower in the king suite bathroom. There was personalization on the TV screen with my name, which I found to be very welcoming. Had absolutely no issues with how well the room's upkeep was—it's extremely noticeable that they go out of their way to please their guests.

Honestly, there wasn't much I didn't enjoy about my stay. If I had to be super nit-picky, I'd say it'd be really nice to have a few vending machine options throughout or at least in the lobby area. Having more variety for snacks and drinks could also just put this place at the very top over other great hotels in the area and in general. Not a deal breaker, but something to think about. They do offer some snacks you can purchase at the front desk, but the variety is rather smaller than I would have liked.

I liked the pool very much and the room was dope, also the view. Plus I liked the location, cute little neighborhood and the sea isn't that far away.

The shower didn't spend much cold water and was a bit low pressure for my Swiss standards. Also my room was huge but didn't have a real sofa like my friend's smaller room had. But that's just complaining on another level, I still liked it very much. 😉

The rooms are clean and updated. I also really enjoyed the breakfast!

I think the daily $15 parking fee is ridiculous. It’s not secured parking… The person who checked in before me got hers waived and mine wasn’t. Seemed arbitrary and excessive. The $75 pet fee was a LOT also considering there are no pet perks offered (dog bed, bowls…).

Location, cleanliness, great breakfast quality

Only dislike was receiving a double queen instead of the king I booked because I put at the end of the booking I would like to be near to the group I was traveling with...this should be secondary to the first request of the King bed. I'm sure reception could've fixed it but honestly all was said and done and I was too tired checking in at 1am.

The motel was conveniently located near the freeway exit ramp. Breakfast was good and the staff was courteous and helpful. Restaurants and beaches are nearby.

This is a fairly basic motel. I traveled with my dog and there is only a limited area around the facility to walk around.
