Top Moonlight State Beach Hotel Reviews

Rodeway Inn Encinitas North

8/10 Good

"Clean big spacious room nice bed"

Best Western Carlsbad by the Sea

8/10 Good

"Hotel was reasonably priced and was in good shape. Pool hadn’t been cleaned in a while but the pool area was great. Good breakfast. Staff said the pool was heated, it wasn’t."

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice, it had an armchair and ottoman … a/c worked well. Weather was hot. Folks at the front desk were friendly and helpful. Good location. Can’t go wrong."

Inn at Moonlight Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I've visited Encinitas many times over the years, but staying at the Inn at Moonlight Beach was a uniquely uplifting experience. It felt like a stay at an ashram: peaceful, meditative, and deeply rejuvenating. The details make all the difference. Upon arrival, a small selection of dried fruit with herbs from the inn's own garden and a pot of hot herbal tea were waiting in the room. The room itself was spacious, with an outdoor space facing the garden, which is lit at night with a soft, almost surreal glow. Everything is thoughtfully designed to make you feel welcome and a world away from the hustle of the outside world."
