Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

10/10 Excellent
"This lovely little hotel is dropped right into a beautiful neighborhood in Encinitas. The hotel looks nice from the exterior. The rooms are well kept, everything in the room worked. Breakfast in the morning was very light, but useful. The staff was friendly and provided help anytime they were asked to. We will definitely stay here again."
