Loved the bed, the view, cleanliness of the room, location of hotel. Not a fan of the gal that checked us in, nor the lack of parking, also parking was awkward due limited space and the directional flow/layout of the parking lot.

Our room had an ocean view, which we requested and appreciated. (The first room assigned to us overlooked the defunct conference center and had an ugly view, so the front desk happily move us to the 3rd floor.). Our room was spotless! Roomy and very clean. No carpeting, so it wasn't super cozy, but definitely clean. This is an older property and it seemed that hardly anyone stayed there. We noticed some guests stuffing their pockets with the breakfast buffet food as they left the café. It was awkward because we were concerned about their food security. Were they living there? They almost seemed homeless. We were hoping that this facility had more of a mid-century vibe, but it was quite stark and unremarkable. We did enjoy the easy walk to the beach and a nearby stellar coffee shop. We will choose a venue with more character next time we visit Encinitas.

The property is older and needs some love. Paint is chipping, wood is falling apart in some places. We did enjoy complimentary breakfast and the staff was nice. The balconies are spacious but bare with only two old chairs. We ended up walking to nearby restaurants and that was nice also.
