Top Downtown Encinitas Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing! Ann at check in was the sweetest and took really good care of my mom and I. "

Bahia Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"So here’s my honest review . The resort is perfectly located. Steps away from own beach , garden is gorgeous. However here’s my take: for as much as we paid for our room and the additional “resort fee” each day. The rooms were very dated ! Old carpet, old furniture, horrible water pressure in the shower , awful glueing toilets. Cheap single ply toilet paper , 0 space in bathroom vanity , vanity sits at an angle where no matter what u put next to the sink , it slides into the sink. Hot tub closes at 10. That was frustrating. We stayed 7 nights . Although we did enjoy our time , I’ve stayed in nicer resorts with much better rates . Rooms just need major updates . Sort of suprised that this resort didn’t have laundry. (Only paid per garment dry cleaning ) staying 7 days , playing in thr water etc - we had to make two seperate trips to a local laundromat. Another negative, when we booked we were told there were two sea lions on premises. They weren’t . Pretty disappointed in that. The trailer / airstream that serves breakfast was pretty good . No matter the room the views were great . Walking distance to Belmont park. We will stay again next year, for an entire week- but truly hope they invest in some updates , Laundry machines and BETTER TOILET PAPER ! "

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff is kind and attentive. The property is conveniently located to a variety of destinations. The room was clean and the water had great pressure. The property has a pool. They also offered free beverages, which is a nice touch. There are numerous rooms at this two-story property. Nice outdoor walkways within the property."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

6/10 Okay

"We had called the hotel before our trip and asked for early check in and for our group of rooms to be together on the same floors. We were confirmed for early check in and the room grouping was put in as a preference. Upon arrival, we were not able to check in early and the rooms were all on different floors. The hotel has a mobile approach, when I tried to troubleshoot with the staff, they referred me to the Legoland resort phone number and mobile text option."

La Jolla Cove Suites

6/10 Okay

"Parking was terrible. We originally could park in the terrace parking area which was small and an extremely tight squeeze to get to. Then we had to switch to Valet because they were tree trimming, which would be cool if the difference wasn't 100+ stairs to get to our room vs. 12. The main hotel(?) is under construction so if you want a relaxing vacation and to sleep in on a weekday, this is not the spot. Our terrace room was very nice and newly renovated, but they have some work to do still as every blow dryer they gave me (theirs not mine) did not work. Pool and hot tub were very nice and actually really close to our room. "

GreenTree Inn San Diego Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"I chose this property due to its nearness of the bay. I bring my folding bike and cruise down on a trip for work out. The room I got was clean with good supplies soap, shampoo, conditioner, and a good working mattress and TV with cable. I never tried using the pool ,but it look like it needed service. I was more into using the gym right down the hall from my room. I like that the room had a refrigerator ,microwave and a bathtub , for us this is a must ! I enjoyed my stay at the Green Tree Inn ,as I was well rested when we left. I needed towel and the staff quickly brought a supply... nice . Thank you Green Tree Inn. :)"
