Top Moonlight State Beach Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

6/10 Okay

"N/a"

Rodeway Inn Encinitas North

6/10 Okay

"This is a review of unit 122. It smells like smoke. The bathroom window does not lock. The bathroom ceiling has a gaint drywall repair thats yet to be painted. The divertor on the shower sprays everywhere. The shower is keeping Leucadia funky all on its own. But, it was cheappppp, and in a safe area. For that price I would do it every night of the week. I almost hope they never remodel. Its for a traveler that just needs a roof."

Best Western Carlsbad by the Sea

4/10 Poor

"Front desk lady was not super welcoming. The room smelled so horrible I can’t even describe. I asked for another room and Sergio was accommodating. The second room smelled too but I guess not that bad. All my clothes and belongings smell sooo bad as I got home because of the room. Also I didn’t feel safe walking around. There a lot of people just living in the hotel, people smoking outside and looks like some weird people live there. Breakfast was ok… but again with that smell they shouldn’t be able to allow people to stay, I never experienced a smell like that in any hotels before to the point all my clothes now smell. I won’t be staying there again."

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

2/10 Terrible

"The motel is being renovated, so there is loud noise throughout the day. One step on a staircase is severely cracked, with jagged concrete and rebar exposed. The property is right off the freeway. I have never heard such loud traffic noise throughout the night."

Moonlight Beach Motel

6/10 Okay

"The location was nice and close to the beach. Very steep hills to walk up and down. The hotel was ok, its dated. The kitchenette could use some updating. The refrigerator was hard to get a gallon of milk into, the door wouldn't open up wide enough with out us completely moving it out to move the shelves up or down. The stove had a short in it so the burners would stop working while trying to cook. There were no hot pads, dish towels and it would have been nice to have a full set of dishes. We had 4 people but there were only 3 cups, 2 bowls and no bigger bowls to mix stuff in. We enjoyed the terrace to sit on and look at the ocean. There is no one there after 6pm if you need assistance and parking is very tight. But we still enjoyed our stay"
