This is the second time I stayed at this motel and I really like it. My mom was with me this time and she was also charmed. The easy parking and beautiful ocean view are delightful. The beds are comfy, the staff is generous with fluffy, clean towels, and the extras like outdoor and indoor chairs - two patio chairs, two easy chairs, and two desk chairs are great. I think when the hotel replaces the door and the bathroom window, the noise from the train will be better. Also, we really needed a small shelf or table under the sink to put our toiletry bags.

This is a very small motel, so don’t expect anything more than this. Jennifer at the front desk is wonderful, very easy to work with, professional and helpful. The area is very nice , close to the beach and plenty of restaurants. The Ocean views from the balcony were amazing! They also provide you with beach chairs, umbrellas and boggle boards, but not beach towels, so bring your own. Also they have an assortment of free snacks and cookies, which come handy. Now to the not so nice stuff, the noice from the train is very loud and annoying. Water pressure was not great, but it was really hot, which was good. There is no lift , so it could be a challenge for elderly or guests with disabilities to get to the second floor. All in all, we really loved Encinitas and we will be back, we will just bring ear plugs!
