"Great owners that take pride in their property - nicely renovated and super comfy bed. Nearby Encinitas and Carlsbad beaches with a nice parking lot that is free for guests. Amazing value near the main downtown section of Encinitas. Many food delivery options and the hotel is great at having the delivery driver come to your room to drop off."

"The staff showed excellent customer service. I felt very welcomed they tended to all my needs. It was a lovely relaxing stay I would highly recommend it. The only thing I would suggest is you do have to pay for parking, but that is not listed in Expedia or other apps. It needs to be specified that it is not free parking."
