An aesthetically beautiful hotel right near the beach and local eateries. The staff at every level was amazing. The room was very spacious and clean and had a large balcony. We enjoyed the breakfast spread by the pool area each morning. My only complaint is that the shower was very moldy.

Our room had a whole kitchenette and separate master sleeping area. It was just down the street from the beach and a good location. There was road construction going on when we went so we kind of had a hard time getting in to the hotel but that wasn’t the hotels fault.

It looks a little rough from the street with the boarded up restaurant to the front, however, I was very pleased with the hotel itself. Very clean and spacious. And the balcony was perfect for nightly sunset views. The front desk staff were very nice and helpful. And I greatly appreciated the purified water available on the ground floor to refill my water bottle daily.

It is a solid three star hotel. To .ove to four stars is to pay attention to the little details. The fact that there is currently a derilic building near the main entrance doesn't help. The house staff is great. The receptionist area is NOT inviting. Would I go back? There are other hotels to try.

My partner and I came for a staycation, it was our first time here and we loved it. Spacious rooms with great beds and linens, and the AC worked beautifully!! It’s great that every room has a balcony! We look forward to the on-site restaurant potentially reopening, or any other developments with that space. Claire at the front desk was very helpful and thorough. She remembered me by name throughout our trip which was very sweet. Thank you Claire and The Encinitan! We will be back :)
