"Clean rooms, beautiful scenery"

Hampton Inn Cardiff Beach Encinitas, CA Near Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we came in for check in, Rayan greeted us in the front desk and checked us in. It was quick, smooth, the property was well maintained. The lobby was clean, smells clean. Plenty of parking. Quiet rooms. The room was clean, bathroom was spacious and the room was spacious.the Ac was working well. The beds were comfy. Travelled with kids and it’s perfect! There’s breakfast included in the morning. The breakfast area was kept clean, and fully stacked. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Greeted us and asked if we need anything. I highly recommend this place. The location is close to the beach and restaurants. Close to Legoland. The TV was a good size and love that there’s fridge, microwave in the room and coffeemaker. We used the jacuzzi one time which worked well and the pool area was empty when we came. Will definitely come back here. Everything was perfect! Great customer service."

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Decent stay for the price. Location is great and we walked to the beach (with a kid and wagon) with no problem. It is also within walking distance to restaurants and convenience stores. Our room had newer finishings but the bathroom tub/shower seemed outdated in comparison. The shower head water pressure was a little weak. The breakfast was fine but didn’t open till 7:30 and they seemed to run out of popular items early. The balcony was wonderful but be prepared for road/train noise. The staff was helpful but there didn’t seem to be many people working there. The property is older and could use a little TLC but overall was a good stay."

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

"The room was very clean & the bed was comfy. The AC worked very well. Theres a small swimming pool. There are restaurants within walking distance.The hotel is along the Coaster Commuter Train line. It was not an issue since the train passes by quickly. I'm a light sleeper. i stayed mid-week and the hotel was quiet. Staff is very helpful."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is awesome. We didnt have cold water in our room but staff was helpful and moved us right away. Then maintenance started working on the old room. The showers are pretty beat up (rusty & moldy), but everything is great. Will stay there again!"
