Hampton Inn Cardiff Beach Encinitas, CA Near Del Mar

8/10 Good

"The front desk was nice and recommended some nearby restaurants. The room was clean. There's not much lighting in the room. One of the side lamps next to the bed didn't work well. It was flickering off and on. So we didn't use it. Also the fan in the bathroom wouldn't stay off, so it was a constant noise. Breakfast was pretty good. They had great options and it was very clean. Plenty of parking. The hotel is next to the freeway. since I'm a light sleeper, motorcycles and loud vehicles would wake me up during the night. The person I traveled with didn't have that issue though. Overall. We would stay again. It's a near (10 min) to a lot of restaurants and shops."

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good

"Revitalized rooms a big +"

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"We had yet another great stay at the Omni La Costa! I do think they need to give the resort rooms a deep clean. This was the 3rd stay where it wasn't super clean with a bit mold in the shower. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of."

Moonlight Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The motel is very close to the beach 4 min walk and it has beach chairs and boogie boards available although, they are older and well used. My room was very clean had all the amenities I needed and they were very nice to have upgraded me. The staff and manager were super helpful. They have a barbecue area with a nice barbecue to use the water. Pressure could be better at least in my room, but the towels were soft and fluffy and plenty of them. The beds were extremely comfortable and I believe the room must be soundproof because I couldn’t hear anything and there is a train track nearby. I would highly recommend this motel as I have been here several times and I’ve never been disappointed."

Inn at Moonlight Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I've visited Encinitas many times over the years, but staying at the Inn at Moonlight Beach was a uniquely uplifting experience. It felt like a stay at an ashram: peaceful, meditative, and deeply rejuvenating. The details make all the difference. Upon arrival, a small selection of dried fruit with herbs from the inn's own garden and a pot of hot herbal tea were waiting in the room. The room itself was spacious, with an outdoor space facing the garden, which is lit at night with a soft, almost surreal glow. Everything is thoughtfully designed to make you feel welcome and a world away from the hustle of the outside world."

10/10 Excellent

Very quiet and peaceful room with private entrance and private bath

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I enjoyed staying here and it was perfect for us. The private entrance to the parking space was a great start. The place was cozy and clean. Met the host Dee when we got there and she was friendly and accommodating. I wish we had more time to enjoy the private patio because the night weather was beautiful. For anyone needing a quiet and cozy place for 1 person or a couple request this. Close to restaurants, stores and less than 10 minute drive to the beach. Highly recommend this place to rent."
