"Very friendly check-in staff."

Hampton Inn Cardiff Beach Encinitas, CA Near Del Mar

8/10 Good

"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."
