A great place to stay

This is a great, older, hotel to stay in when visiting this area. The rooms have always been clean and there is plenty of space in the rooms. Each time I have stayed there has been a room with a balcony to sit and enjoy the great weather. Pool is nice and their breakfast is above average, compared to most continental breakfasts. We stay here most times in the area.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was big and I did like the layout - King bed in a room all to itself. Sofa bed for boys was standard. Room was clean. A plus was that the floors were laminate because I hate carpet. Only two complaints - the toilet flushed lie a vortex, swear you could get sucked in and it was so loud, and unfortunately, quite the opposite with the shower. The force of the water coming out was almost non-existent. I mean if you like taking a shower that resembles light mist, then this is the shower for you. Also, the tub drained slowly, so you did have to stand in a puddle while you showered.

The staff wasn't as helpful as I'd like but the property was very nice. There is an attached restaraunt though it sits dormant, and appears to be dormant for years. View was very good. Didn't get to use the pool and hot-tub, however it was obvious from the steam the hot-tub was heated at night. Walking distance from the beach side shops and eateries on the main shopping drag. Great little town to visit.

Good enough

We had a fantastic time in Encinita. Location is very convenient and very family friendly. Only a walking distance to a very good supermarket, playground, beach and restaurants. This hotel is quite dated so perhaps a lower pricing would be more appropriate, but everything worked, so I would recommend.

The BUSINESS!!

The stay was wonderful. Our last day we woke up really late . So of course we called the front desk to let them know..and i thought from prior experiences with other hotels and suites that they wanted to hurry us out so that the employees could clean the room..so i was pleasantly surprised that instead of giving us a 30 min maybe an hour late checkout.no...they gave us a 1pm checkout which blew my mind. Offered it.. i was in shock cause no other establishment would ever do that..thanks guy's !!

Definitely needs an update. Lobby is in inviting, grays, black. Needs some colors to brighten up facility. Rooms were the same.Whoever designed these rooms needs to appreciate how colors and thoughtful decorating could make it more appealing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Excellent stay. I got the king bed with kitchenette and it was great. Clean large size room, comfy bed and pillows, and everything you need to cook for yourself. Four large towels for the shower was great. You dont see that often. Covered parking. Multiple elevators and lots of parking makes it EZ to get in/out. Just be prepared to hear a train every 2 or so hours. Highly recommend for short or long term stays.
