We stayed at the Best Western Encinitas Inn & Suites for three nights in May 2012 before the Memorial Day weekend. The room was very good size and nicely furnished (somewhat exceptional for hotels of this category), and there was a large balcony with partial view of the ocean and the Monarch Beach. The bed was very comfortable. The buffet... More

This is the second time we stayed at this hotel, the first was 11 years ago. We were interested to see if things had changed. It seemed like a friendlier place this time, and the rooms had been updated with wifi and a great big flat screen TV. The room was very comfortable, although we would have liked a firmer... More

Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable and we liked the kitchenette. Yet, this hotel is a bit dated and we have to say that we have experienced better value for the money in other places we stayed at. One front desk employee was friendly and helpful, but was wearing an informal shirt instead of a uniform, and another one... More

we had a great stay, the location is great, every room has a balcony (most with a ocean view) it was clean, flat screen tv's HBO and a really nice breakfast including waffles. the staff was friendly and helpful. the only thing that wasn't great was the noise from the blvd just below, but that cant be helped.

This is definitely one of the nicer lodging arrangements in this area. Comfortable, clean rooms, and mostly attentive service. Good attributes for wifi and electronic access. I withheld one star/button due to slight inconsistency of customer relations. The woman working the desk in the mid afternoon (when I checked in) did not interact with me in a particularly friendly manner,... More

We had a super comfortable king sized bed. Balcony was wonderful for watching sunset over ocean. Staff friendly and helpful. Tasty options with lots of choices from continental to full breakfast. Lovely local beach and an easy drive to good restaurants and attractions. We plan to return with grandchildren.

I was visiting some friends in Encinitas and their space (and peace) is limited with a couple of kids. When I saw the price at this Best Western--the decision to stay right down the block was a no-brainer. It's nothing fancy, but the property was clean, the room was comfortable and the staff was friendly. The costmetics could use some... More

We actually live in Encinitas but we had some work done on our house so we moved into this Best Western with 2 children and 2 dogs for 5 days. Overall, it was great. We had a pet friendly room with a king bed,sofa bed, balcony and kitchenette. The room was big, the kitchenette and bathroom were really outdated. The... More
