What a gem of a place. We absolutely loved our stay at Moonlight Beach Motel! It is within a couple blocks of a nice beach and great restaurants with a wonderful coffee shop just behind it. The rooms were massive. The coaster went by during the day, but at some point at night it stopped. So that was not an issue. We will definitely come back here if we can.
Our room was beautiful and spacious. We think we were given an upgrade! The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. It was a little chilly to take advantage of the table on the patio, but it looked nice. The shower was a little lacking in water pressure, but otherwise the bathroom was nice. The proprietor was very pleasant and helpful. There were lots of beach amenities available which would have been fun in warmer weather. We would stay here again!
Excellent location a short walk from Moonlight beach.
Our room was large, comfortable and clean. The staff
was friendly and efficient. We also had a balcony with a partial view of the ocean, equipped with porch table and chairs from which we could observe sunsets. The high speed internet was excellent, and the
shower was sufficiently hot with adequate if not strong pressure (making it more eco-friendly).
Nice, clean, updated, Great location, friendly and helpful staff. I prefer a privately owned property and this is one of the best I've stayed at. It was an easy walk to the beach and many eateries and little shops in Encinitas. I'll stay here again on my next visit to Encinitas.
We didn’t get what I reserved, which was a king bed with partial view. Our room was a king and queen bed, with view of parking lot. I’ve never encountered such a noisy upstairs neighbor in a motel/hotel situation until our 2nd night, we both barely slept.
This is a wonderfully quaint Motel close to Moonlight beach that has recently had the rooms upgraded. The are comfortable clean and nice to stay in. You get more than you pay for with amazing coffee around the corner at Lofty and a 50m walk to the sand to take a walk. Don't be deceived by the outside perception of the building this a a little gem for families (with kitchenettes) couples or work (we mixed all of these)
