    We loved Moonlight Beach and shopping in downtown Encinitas.

    We loved Moonlight Beach and shopping in downtown Encinitas. The lunch places seem to get very crowded, so it's good to go early. Encinitas also has a big beautiful Target, which was very exciting for my daughter who lives in NYC (the Targets there aren't very nice). Driving around was really easy. Encinitas is a fun place to be a tourist, and it doesn't seem too touristy. I wish we had time to try many of the hiking spots nearby, but now we have a reason to come back.

    The lack of customer response is very bad.

    The lack of customer response is very bad. All communication from the hotel has the "no-reply-to" function. It's almost impossible to reach the hotel by email. And the phone costs from international locations a re prohibitive.

    i grew up here, but moved away 49 years ago. the 101 cafe is great for breakfast. the Italian restaurant on first st was amazing from wine to lasagna to chicken marsala to the best tiramisu. once again enjoyed the coast drive (old 101) along the beach.

    I liked the Mexican Restaurant La Especial Norte 644 N.

    I liked the Mexican Restaurant La Especial Norte 644 N. Coast Highway 101. Awesome menu, awesome food, very reasonable compared to the other restaurants in this location. Service excellent. Friendly and professional. I had the Mexican Chicken Soup which was wonderful and the Beef Burrito which was very very large.

    Didn’t like simple fact the manager(Gabriel) Knocked on my door trying to kick me and my family out that consists of a five year old stating something about a 21 max stay that we as guests aren’t allowed to go over but we wasn’t informed nor is it posted in the lobby made it s feel very uncomfortable after that then I was harassed by a guests for two straight days asking me for my card and why am standing by my car immediately let front desk know even provided a picture of the vehicle I wasn’t apologized for it and nothing was done about it then walk out to my car being scratched up I’ve seen so many roaches and spiders in my room it’s insane and they sure didn’t come with us I now clean my room I also pointed out to the head housekeeper about trash that’s been in my room since check in…The young lady that works nights is very nice and very professional

    I think the hotel was in the midst of remodeling.

    I think the hotel was in the midst of remodeling. There were building supplies all over the parking lot and two large containers blocking the parking spaces for guests. We still found parking however. There was trash strewn everywhere and the elevator had no permit displayed and made dreadful creaking noises before finally opening the doors. It sounded like it might break at any minute. The breakfast was good but limited to high sugar cereals, oatmeal packets, yogurt and bagels with butter. There was also some very nice fresh fruit and fruit juices to choose from.

    The rooms are large and you will more likely than not to get two king size beds. That is my experience each time. The live-in managers are accommodating and cordial. The hotel is set far enough away from the train tracks so you barely here the train when it passes. The room's window and door are open when empty so you can be certain that the air is fresh when you walk in. I've stayed at other hotels that don't do this and you can smell left over dinners or smoke or cleaning products.

    This hotel was so bad, it was nothing like they advertised. Ocean view, what a joke. We had a view of the Motorway/Highway, and the noise was unbelievable. Their breakfast was nothing like they advertised. The bed was too soft, and their pillows were folded in half and lumpy. I had to open them flat. The towels were so small that you couldn't wrap them around your body, and I'm small. The bathroom door did not close, even asked if they could fix it, but they didn't.

    Location is awesome, walking distance to encinitas downtown, surfing spots and leucadia farmers market. Front desk guys were amazing (shout out to Todd and Mark, whom besides the sympathy, were always available). Cleaning team as well. The kitchen is pretty full of equipment needed to prepare meals. High pressure shower makes the stay even more confortable.

    I loved Surfhouse and will stay again. The rooms are clean and well laid out with a beautiful bathroom, simple desk and everything I needed for a four night stay. Two outdoor areas for hanging out with friends worked for an outdoor office for me. Location is the best in Encinitas.

    The location was excellent right off I-5 and only 30 minutes from downtown. Plus just minutes to Cardiff-by-the Sea beach and restaurants/shopping area. The room was large and the entire hotel was very clean. The staff was very approachable and helpful.

    Spacious room with a beautiful view from the balcony. Although the hotel does not have a glamorous entry and the host (the one that I dealt with) could have been a little more polite and attentive, the room and the area was fantastic!

    Decent location, but a bit seedy in terms of the street people walking around, and the hotel is not very secure at all. This was my 3rd time to stay here, and it really disappointed me tonight!

    Hotel was perfect for what we were looking for. It was not super fancy or anything, but we appreciated the tile flooring as we felt it was cleaner the the normal hotel carpets.
