The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"We will absolutely stay here again. We have a family home nearby that was booked when we made last minute plans to visit and we decided to spend our first 3 nights here. We’ve been coming to Encinitas for 20 years and you can’t find a better location- 2 blocks to the Moonlight beach, 3 blocks to all the restaurants and shops you want. Hotel: Not fancy, normal amenities, beautiful views. The free breakfast was plentiful and well done. Small heated pool and hot tub. Room: We came with a family of 4 and chose the double Queen with the pullout sofa and kitchenette. Full size fridge and freezer was a huge bonus. The room was spacious and had a good sized patio (although our view from the first floor was not great- ocean views kind of but right in front of an ugly roof- small price to pay for the kitchenette). Overall the room was perfect for our family mostly because we never want to be in the room when we are 2 blocks from the best beach for a family. Service: good. Our room was cleaned everyday. The breakfast staff was attentive. Overview: There’s not a lot of extra amenities here. This is a bare bone simple hotel in a great location. Family friendly and simple. If you want fancy or room service, look elsewhere. If you want a great location with a spacious room, this is perfect."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Leucadia Beach Inn! The location was fantastic, close to the beach and all the great spots in the area. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and our room was the perfect little space for our stay. Having a kitchenette was such a great bonus and made everything feel that much more convenient. It had everything we needed, with so much charm and a relaxed beach-town feel. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!"
