Top Eli Howard Surf School Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good

"Hotel’s alright. They’re remodeling so some spots are unfinished. No cable, but we don’t care about TV. Room is brand new. Wife’s been smelling something weird at night and getting dizzy. Might be the construction. Still, we had a good time in San Diego during the weekend."

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We been coming here for the past 5 summers for our family vacation. The hotel rooms are really big and have a big balcony. The rooms are normal standard. The staff was helpful with whatever we needed. We love the location! It’s walking distance to the beach and lots of good food places a short walk away. There’s a grocery store and laundry mat across the street. The grocery store has so much good, healthy food ready to eat. The laundry mat is awesome to not bring all the sandy dirty laundry home. Moonlight beach is amazing. It’s clean, lifeguards do any amazing job and lots of amenities. The hotels breakfast is good for quick start with options of bagel/ eggs/ sausage / yogurt and drinks. Pool was clean and fun. We come here with relaxed hotel expectations and just have fun with family. Will be back next year."

Winners Circle Solana Beach Del Mar Resort

8/10 Good

"Everything was provided as advertised. Unfortunately, I had to pay a premium because it was the last room they had available. They forgot to replace the shampoo canister in the shower - which is a minor thing - and the blow dryer wasn't working properly. I'm sure they would've replaced everything upon request, but I was only there for one day...so I didn't say anything. Overall, everything was fine."

Leucadia Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I originally told the staff I wouldn't be arriving until after 3pm. When I contacted them that I had arrived early, they had my room ready right away. The room and courtyard were absolutely lovely. It had a rustic coastal charm. The kitchenette in my room had plates, cups, and utensils, and a toaster. It was so incredibly lovely."

Comfort Inn Encinitas Near Legoland

8/10 Good

"Especialmente en mi cuarto, el 309 encontré una botella que creo que dejó la familia anterior estaba en el sillón y hasta que me sentía ahí la pude ver que estaba o sea que sesión no lo limpiaron o sacudieron adecuadamente. Encontré bolsas de ketchup tiradas en el suelo. Creo que de la familia anterior también el aire acondicionado hace mucho ruido y yo no pude dormir por el ruido en mi habitación cuando llegué no habían toallas para secarse, tuve yo que ir a traer a la recepción el Hotel está muy bonito en una buena ubicación, cerca de cafeterías y tiendas solo tienen que mejorar lo anterior dicho, pero me gustó el Front desks muy amable."
