    Clean, modern hotel close to the beach and tons of restaurants!

    There wasn’t much to dislike about this hotel! The rooftop deck was wonderful, beautiful view - we had breakfast up there one morning and it was perfect! Speaking of breakfast, they brought us fresh pressed juice and fresh muffins and yogurt - free coffee in the lobby! Room was spacious, clean, and extremely comfortable. Great shower! The staff were exceptional!

    It’s rightnext to The Shanty, which may get loud in the evening and could be annoying for someone if their room is on that side of the hotel - it didn’t bother us one bit but I could see how it could.

    Tolle Lage, individuell, freundlich mit toller Dachterrasse.

    Großartige Lage, individuelle und kreativ gestaltete Zimmer. Freundliches Personal, tolle Dachterrasse, sauber.

    Zimmer im Erdgeschoß haben Fenster die sich nicht öffnen lassen. Es gibt aber eine Klimaanlage, mir hat Frischluft gefehlt.

    Quiet and comfortable just steps from the beach.

    Rooms are spacious. Well appointed and beautifully decorated. The location is easy and Encinitas is a great town.

    All well. Really enjoyed the hotel. Great amenities. Everything is easy. Street parking is accessible just a crap shoot"
