Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good
"Room was clean, quiet and nice. No hair dryer, nor was their a working ice machine. Didn't help that it was unseasonably warm and humid. The property was undergoing major renovations and it would have been nice and helpful have that noted in the description."
