Top Cardiff State Beach Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Del Mar/Solana Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location, very walkable to restaurants and beach. Staff was friendly and helpful. Note that although it is very close to the beach they do not have beach towels, chairs, etc. so be sure to bring your own. Parking is great! Also enjoyed the little market by the pool area, they have coffee and other items that you can get and sit by the fireplace at night!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good

"This hotel boasts an excellent location right off the freeway, making it incredibly convenient for travelers. The property offers ample parking, and the rooms are clean, comfortable, and highly functional. While there is some remodeling in the location, the staff remains attentive, informative, and readily available to assist with any needs."

Hampton Inn Cardiff Beach Encinitas, CA Near Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we came in for check in, Rayan greeted us in the front desk and checked us in. It was quick, smooth, the property was well maintained. The lobby was clean, smells clean. Plenty of parking. Quiet rooms. The room was clean, bathroom was spacious and the room was spacious.the Ac was working well. The beds were comfy. Travelled with kids and it’s perfect! There’s breakfast included in the morning. The breakfast area was kept clean, and fully stacked. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Greeted us and asked if we need anything. I highly recommend this place. The location is close to the beach and restaurants. Close to Legoland. The TV was a good size and love that there’s fridge, microwave in the room and coffeemaker. We used the jacuzzi one time which worked well and the pool area was empty when we came. Will definitely come back here. Everything was perfect! Great customer service."

Private Beautiful Clean Beachy-Close to All Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This is my fourth time staying here. Hubby and I are going back in November. I couldn't imagine staying anyplace else but at Marsha's divine VRBO. Always sparkling clean, very comfortable, close to everything. And the biggest plus? Marsha is the best host. We've become very friendly and my hubby and I have really enjoyed getting to know Marsha and her hubby. Beau and Jackson, their two wonderful dogs, are great fun - especially when we are missing our dogs. See everyone in November!!"

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Decent stay for the price. Location is great and we walked to the beach (with a kid and wagon) with no problem. It is also within walking distance to restaurants and convenience stores. Our room had newer finishings but the bathroom tub/shower seemed outdated in comparison. The shower head water pressure was a little weak. The breakfast was fine but didn’t open till 7:30 and they seemed to run out of popular items early. The balcony was wonderful but be prepared for road/train noise. The staff was helpful but there didn’t seem to be many people working there. The property is older and could use a little TLC but overall was a good stay."
