Top Encinitas Hotel Reviews

Leucadia Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Mark has been lively. Needed to borrow an ironing board and iron and hr helped explain the 200 channel cable system which I couldn't find at first. Quiet night yet place was full. Amazing. "

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

4/10 Poor

"The property is being redone and looks much better . The water pressure is amazing ! That said if you care about your money don’t stay here . They took my deposit . Saw it come out of my account as I showed the very rude desk girl immediately ( she claimed they didn’t get it but gave us the room anyway ) . As of 2 weeks later according to my bank the hotel still hasn’t released my deposit of $125.00 . And extremely rude when I ask about it "
