The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

4/10 Poor
"The rooms were big, morning staff was great, there IS breakfast, and it IS close to the beach. However the night staff was terrible and even actively hostile, the amenity fee was a surprise and included different things depending on who you talk to, and pedestrian access was unsafe especially if you have kids or people who struggle with mobility.
