"This property is in need of serious updating. The hallways have a cloying, awful smell like there is carpet freshener or something being used to cover a worse smell. It is horrible. Luckily once in the rooms you do not smell it too badly. We stayed here 17 years ago and can say the rooms have not been updated since. Great location and freeway access both North and South along the coast. That’s the best thing I can say about this property."

"I love this resort, this has been the best stay for my Mother’s Day. The staff were impeccable. ❤️"

"The location was great. You can walk to the beach, restaurants and stores. My room was upstairs in the back so it was very quiet considering the Inn is on Coast Highway. You are super close to grocery stores and the train stop. As per many reviews the bathroom sink area is very constricting so if you are a larger person, you will have a hard time maneuvering. The bed was very comfortable. The furnishings are quite dated. Parking is safe and easy. All in all a good value. "

"The ladies who were serving breakfast were fantastic. Great customer service."

"Solo traveler. The room was big, clean and updated. I had a nice big balcony overlooking the ocean. The breakfast was good. The location was great for walking. "

"This property is still using the Covid excuse to not automatically include housekeeping. They asked if we wanted it when we checked in, and I said yes. But apparently that only includes replacing the towels. The room wasn’t cleaned, vacuumed, nor were the beds made. Even when I asked specifically if they could make the beds, they didn’t. The location is great - very close to the beach and downtown Encinitas. Just don’t expect much from the hotel itself. "

"Great hotel near the beach!"
