The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

Great stay

This hotel needs a serious overall. Pretty rundown. Front desk was nice. Rooms were fine for a night, but wouldn’t return. Vending machines not adequately stocked. Parking structure was filled with storage items and spaces were tight.

Love this hotel. Perfect location, kind staff

This hotel is okay. It is old. Needs a good deep clean. Much too expensive for what you get. Front desk staff was nice. Construction going on at the restaurant when we stayed.

They had a fitness area, pool with jacuzzi, and offered breakfast!

Room had some cleanliness issues upon check in.

The place is very close to the ocean (they could work on adding a save path down the hill if they know that guests use that route regularly). People at the hotel are very friendly and tried to help. We parked our car after checking out and they were cool about it. We enjoyed our stay.

I would give this hotel 3 1/2 stars, as I wasn’t expecting anything extra extravagant or over-the-top. I would just say the outside and surrounding area areas felt very outdated. Although the rooms were mostly clean and upgraded in the recent past. For a quick one or two nights stay this is a great spot because you’re right central to the downtown area of Encinitas, and the price is reasonable.

The amenities sounded great - ocean views, balcony, pool and hot tub but the quality of the location was disappointing. The floors of the room left our feet dirty, the shower didn’t drain and there was nobody onsite to fix it and the manager wasn't able to find another room for us and there were socks found in the room from the previous guests. The onsite breakfast was mediocre and the lobby couches smelled loudly. It was convenient located to the beaches and restaurants and great to have even a small fitness center.

We liked the room was very clean, we could walk to downtown Encinitas (the driveway hill is pretty steep) The proximity to the interstate is good. Could be an excellent hotel with A LOT of TLC.
