Moonlight Beach Motel

You can't put a price on convenience. Easy 5 minute walk to moonlight beach. Appreciated that you can borrow beach supplies like chairs and Boogie boards. Staff extremely friendly and informative. I left a message prior to trip and they returned my call on same day. The A/C is outdated but having a fridge, microwave, sink, and dishwasher was fantastic. We were hesitant about finding parking for 3 nights since they don't charge. However every day we found parking right in front of our room. Definitely would stay in their family room that had 3 beds and 2 separate rooms !

The room was big, beds were comfortable, area around was noisy and some amenities needed fixing overall a great stay would definitely come back

The location was ideal for what I needed to do. The staff was friendly & helpful.

The A/C in the room didn't function very well.

Beach and downtown Encinitas walkable from hotel

Great location and wonderful view. You can walk all over Encinitas from this Motel. The motel is older but it is clean and updated. The bed was comfortable and very quiet at night.

Not much.

The location is unbeatable, and that is why we stay here. We can walk to our absolutely favorite beach, and also walk to restaurants and stores. The bed was comfortable and huge. The room was very large. Nice to have a balcony. Good on-site parking for hotel guests only.

The communication between the front desk and maid service is unreliable. We have stayed here many times. We don't need our room cleaned every day when we stay here for a week, but when we ask for our sheets to be changed mid-week, it doesn't always get done. And when we asked for basic service two days during our last stay, it happened two consecutive days in the middle of our stay, not spread out as we requested. This is definitely a 3 star hotel or slightly less, and we usually stay in 4 or 5 star hotels, but we can't find any 4s or 5s near Moonlight Beach, so we keep returning. The price is high in high season for what you get, but it's all about location.

We love it!!!
