Top Downtown Encinitas Hotel Reviews

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"We booked a Family Suite with 2 bedrooms for 6 of us in our family. We were given a room on the ground floor in a building far from everything (registration/lobby, restaurants, swimming pool, golf driving range, spa, shops, parking. That suite has an old & damp odor. The cologne we sprayed were able to mask the odor. We killed 7 spiders on our first night. So my daughter reported it to front desk first thing in the morning. Therefore, we were transferred to an upper level suite in a building close to everything. We enjoyed the rest of our vacation."

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here. We usually have complaints about hotels but I don't think we have a single one. Our kids loved the koi pond and feeding the fish in the mornings. The food was good and staff was friendly. Everything was clean. We enjoyed the cocktail hour. We did order from the restaurant one night and while the food was good, it was $30 for a very tiny portion of meat and some polenta. That was disappointing. The pool and hot tub were great and overall it was a very nice experience."

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good

"Exterior of hotel going thru remodel so messy construction going on. Lobby is a makeshift office in room 113! Staff was friendly and helpful. Location is good. Encinitas is a great area. Motel is right off freeway and short stroll (1/2 mile) to the beach. Shopping center right across the street is convenient too. Room was renovated so pleasantly surprised. Excellent water pressure and showerhead which is an important factor for me. There was a fridge but no microwave which I found a little odd. Walls were fairly thin and we had a first floor room. Loud neighbors above were stomping around at all hours and dropping things on the floor! Also anyone walking by and having a conversation was clearly heard in the room. Also freeway and road at a distance can be heard. So wasn’t a great night sleep. Coffee tea was offered and ‘breakfast’ was available but only granola bars, oatmeal packets, and muffins were out. Price was reasonable and overall a good value."
