One of the best and amazing motels in Encinta California!!! I had a very late check in and was taken care in the most respectable and friendly manner. I had too add another day because i loved the whole trip. The beach is 5mins away...the view from room was beautiful!!! No doubt i shall return for another amazing time!!
The property is being renovated. The rooms have been remodeled and are nice. The location is great. The staff was great and accommodating. I kinda want to keep this place a secret but they deserve kudos for what they have.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The pool was open, though construction trailers surrounding the area did seem inviting. The room itself had been totally renovated but the building and the office left a lot to be desired. Staff was friendly. Right across the street there is a selection of eateries and shops. Easy walk to to down nightlife and more restaurants and shops. The beach is also an easy walk.
The room looks nice but the floor was very dusty and our socks were covered with dirt. Also the parking was very limited

Hotel is currently going through renovation process, which is why it looks a little rundown I was able to stay in one of their newly renovated rooms, which look really, really nice. I think it will definitely have promise. Once renovations are complete.
Great staff. Great location. Rooms are being re-modelled. But those that are open are in v good shape. Clean, quiet, comfortable. Shopping right across the street with a great Lazy Acres, laundromat, Serranos ... a terrific and inexpensive Mexican restaurant (huge portions). Price is right for Encinitas.
Everything was just fine for me. The room and the king size bed was terrific as well as all amenities--simple and clean
comfortable and I suppose most importantly, in the current US turmoil, VERY AFFORDABLE! All staff on site was kind, friendly, and available if needed. I'll definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you! :-)))

Being converted to a Best Western, so not the cleanest place. I thought of it as “a place to lay my head for the night.”
Nothing special, but good enough.
