This hotel is fine, but feels dated and a bit dingy. The room was clean and the location is very convenient, but is has a drab feel from the look of the place to the staff.

Although the hotel is a little bit on the older side, the suites which kitchenettes were very nice. And having a balcony was another plus. The location is great and definitely walkable to the main strip of downtown Encinitas.

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.
