Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

Location is 4 blocks (5-10min walk) from Stone Steps which has beach access (not ADA friendly though Moonlight Beach is very close by), which was the main reason I booked here. Room was simple but clean and comfortable. The trains passing by didn't bother me, but I did hear the early folks and kids on occasion. The hotel is undergoing a bit of remodeling but it didn't interfere in any way. Loved the free parking and the quaint and cozy location. Service was also great!! I checked in later than I thought (past 11pm) and it was no problem! The hotel staff was so friendly! I would absolutely stay here again.

The only thing that would have made it a 10/10 was a closet or portable wardrobe (could even be by request, shoot I didn't think to ask!) for hanging clothes. There are a few pegs, but we came for a wedding nearby and had formal wear in addition to sweaters/jacket. Oh! Something like they have in cruise showers, a detachable drying line, would also be great to hang wet swim suits.

Proximity to beach

The toiletries were limited or lacking, breakfast hours were very early and coffee and searing was limited. When we tried to use the microwave in our room we lost all power in the room. Good shower head!

The room was clean and the staff was very friendly.

The staff was nice enough.

The room was dirty. We were told it was newly renovated but I guess that means it has new flooring and shower. The bed was old and the sheets were gross. You could feel the springs in the mattress.
