Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

10/10 Excellent
"It's hard to find a decent hotel for a good price within a few blocks from the beach, but Brisa Pacifica does this. Is it a luxury hotel? No, but it's a clean, comfy room with a mini fridge and microwave, comfy lounge chair, solid desk, decent wifi; and the funky Leucadia/old town Encinitas vibe to boot, with many restaurants within walking distance. This was my second trip there and I shall be back! Warning to smokers: Their anti-smoking policy is strongly enforced, and they will lock you out of your room if you disobey (I watched them do this), so don't even think about it!"
