Encinitas Leucadia State Beach Hotels

"This is beautiful. Location is fantastic and Service is great."

"Staff, except for Rosie ( on last day at checkout), was unbelievably rude, I believe violated my rights, were unbelievably rude accusatory about several things, even barged into my room once. I was extremely happy that he had to eat crow both times. Construction workers & construction supplies, completely take up parking lot all day, and several spaces permanently block with supplies. Room was clean. If they( the 2 male managers) would stop spying on people, it would have been nice. Zero amenities, no coffee pot in room, not even at front desk. Not even a blow dryer"

"The carpet was so dusty that I had severe coughing attacks from carpet collection of allergens. Painters were sprayed painting the exterior of the buildings during my stay duration and that was another respiratory toxic allergen that I was exposed to. The environmental allergens that I had to endure resulted in severe coughs, cascading reaction, felt very sick, and had to leave the property three days early out of my 5 days reservation. It was prepaid non-cancellation. On a different note, the fridge didn’t work. There was no stopper for the bathtub and front desk said manager couldn’t find one on the property. It’s not a central HVAC, so the heater/fan is loud by beside since it is installed on outside wall below window. The bolt lock didn’t work from the inside. "

"The upstairs room I was in was not my favorite one on this property. I've stayed several times. The windows face onto the hallway and south, while the prevailing winds come from the West. There was a tiny air conditioner, mounted on the south facing wall. It had to work hard to cool the room. In a full summer heatwave it would be overwhelmed. The bed was comfortable with a range of pillow firmness. Parking can be challenging if they are fully booked and you don't time things well. Backing out into traffic on the coast highway in a construction zone was unwise. Luckily I was able to manuever so that I backed in, facing the highway."

"Effortless checkin"

"Excellent location, decent breakfast (pastries, coffee, and cereal) and clean inside & out. Renovations feel modern and thoughtful, not rushed or cheap. Staff was very friendly and helpful. "

"Master bedroom wasn’t really usable. Everything else was amazing. "

"Didn’t know there were 30 steps from ground to 2nd floor. In heavy rain water drips into living room from deck. Window treatments in lr and bedroom hard to maneuver.No napkins, small sharp knives, colander and not enough hangars (bought them)No manuals or explanations on how to use appliances. No info on where there are extra linens and towels,Expected more given the price."

"The Grotto was such a delightful place to stay! It was very quiet and we woke up each day to the sound of birds chirping. Jason was a fantastic host -- he was very responsive and gave clear, concise instructions. The property was easy to find and well-located. I started most days with a run along the path 2 blocks away and finished with a dip in the pool. The Grotto was also the perfect place to vacation with our dog!"
