I really wish that I had been here on vacation--instead, I was harried by the demands of a business trip, delayed by traffic and arrived at 2 am and had to leave at 8 am. So I didn't get to meet the proprietors (who left my room key in a lockbox on my doorknob and weren't in the front office... More

Stayed at this place for two nights are were generally very happy with it. Tiled floor was great, windows could be opened, sink and cock top worked well. Shower clean and functional. There was a fountain in front of out room, providing a soothing noise over the cars (and occasional train) nearby (it is relatively quiet at night, we slept... More

Motel fixed up and well decorated to be competitive with much newer places; nearby markets specializing in fruit, Mexican meats and baked goods; parking right in front of your door; just two blocks to the beach cliff as the crow flies but most of a mile otherwise; get there at low tide to observe the unusual rocks; Polly will greet...

I have traveled to Encinitas throughout my life and wanted to visit again. I choose this hotel because of the charm and quaintness. I was not disappointed. The room was super clean and decorated cute. The bed was so comfortable and I slept well. I'm not a good sleeper. The man at the front desk was friendly. Not a lot... More

I stayed here last week (August 2012) Don't be fooled by choosing a room on their website when booking, you don't get the room you booked! I didn't get the courtyard room I booked, I got an upstairs (difficult stairs) in an adjoining annexe with a window overlooking the staircase. The bed/matress was old and squeaky and lumpy, and the... More
