The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good
"This stay was good! The staff was kind and tentative. It is nearby restaurants, and not far from the beach. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool! I did not experience any added on fees that were not expected as some have stated. I gave a 4 since the cleaning can be a bit better but other than that, it was a quiet, peaceful stay."

"Amazing stay!! Such a cute little beach hotel. The rooms are very nice. I will say the bedding is not the greatest, I asked for another blanket and it made it better. I would also bring your own pillows or ask for more."
