  Great experience

  We loved the hotel. Front desk was great great location room stayed cold. Everything was clean. Stuff was amazing and even let us have a late check out because my daugther was icing her knee after her soccer tournament!

  Dirty and old.

  18 Jul 2025

  Made a reservation thru Super.com. Paid 234.12. The hotel front desk gave us room 224. Old and dirty. The bathtub had built up dirt and strands of black hair. Disgusting. Went back to the front desk to cancel and get our money back. They advised us we had to go thru the third party to get a refund.

  RUN! AND DON'T LOOK BACK!!! HORRID PLACE!!! EVEN MORE HORRID PEOPLE.

  25 Jun 2025

  Absolutely DISGUSTING! The Daughter of owner who runs the office is RUDE, Argumentive and they kept Charging my credit card Way over what was listed on Hotels.com. Every time I brought it to her attention she argued w me claiming they aren't doing it. The motel also charges a $2 key card fee and a $5 cleaning fee NOT mentioned Plus Sales Tax. Hotels.com said Yes, it's the hotel not Hotels.com because I selected to pay the site directly. The Motel is disgusting. We got to our room and it was Filthy and smelled like HUMAN URINE, CIGARETTES AND MILDEW. The carpet felt wet. The windows were open I'm guessing to air it out before we arrived. The HUGE yellow stains on the box spring appeared to be the color of Urine. The window screen to the front of the room/parking lot was previously Pried open because there is a gaping hole between window frame and screen frame. I did not feel safe at all. The beds are horrible and feel every spring. They don't match either. We had a two Queens room but they looked more like Full sized mattresses (I used to sell beds so yes you can quote me on this!)! The old bedding was gross. They skimp on towels. One barely covered my chest. The corrosion of metals of the sink and bathroom faucets was awful. The towel rack is Rusty where they keep your "fresh new towels" and the fire sprinkler is rusty. The ceiling fan in bathroom doesn't work and everything is layered in grime. The bathtub and shower walls were PAINTED and peeling off. The doorframes had holes drilled into them and someone put caulking in the holes and just left it. Same with what appears to be a hole in the bedroom wall. The toilet has a huge rust hole/spot in it. The toilet makes a crazy weird noise when flushed. There was a desk and chair. The desk was like it was rotting under the glass (see pics) , the glass had not been washed off and crusty stuff on surface. The legs were so banged up. The chair looked like it was clawed up by a Cat! Peeling the pretend leather off of it. The carpet was blackened in the pathway from the door to the bathroom. Bathroom is TINY btw. Claustrophobic people beware. Oh yeah, Did I mention the Smell??? Horrid!!! The bedroom is not the correct size for two beds as you can see by the way they CUT THE DOORFRAME to the adjoining room so the headboard and bedframe of bed #2 would appear to fit (again see pictures). The curtains are falling off the rod. They didn't even tell us WHERE our room was when we arrived, we had to check in after hours through a glass window while we stood OUTSIDE. Same lady, super crabby that we were there at that time but we called ahead and they KNEW for two days, reconfirming several times with them, that we were on our way just running late. Anyway, we stay in over 150 hotels across America every year and this one hands down was the WORST!Don't be caught up with the Price being low for "North Encinitas" as this location is just the Postal Code and actually resides in the next town north of it. It does Not have Handicapped Access parking that I could find. The lot is so small and too small for a Van or full sized SUV how the lines are drawn on the ground. We finally asked a maintenance man to use his Construction Cones to save our space when we got back. Only one side of the vehicle could open though so my husband had to back out of the spot to let me into the vehicle. The smoke detector is missing from the ceiling. Their picture shows a nice walkway to the beach. NOPE. Especially Nope if you're disabled at all. It's a steep climb up to the top of a hill and then down over 200 stairs to get there. Not happening. They had a "Queen" bed leaning up against the building outside that was clearly trash. The parking lot is definitely lit up. So much so that it beams light into your eyes all night through the holes in the curtains! Not sleeping anyways on that hard nasty smelly mattress. You do Not need that many LED lights in such a small parking lot! The smell, size, disgusting cleaning service, and the disorderly and even fraudulent conduct of the staff will keep me away forever. Regardless of who ever owns it in the future. They still had food in my freezer! There were burn holes in bedding. An earring hook was stuck in the carpet that I found with my foot. That is also when I found the carpet felt wet. Not a good mix. The bathroom window is white from water damage. There is a rusty hole in the bathroom wall by the toilet and shower. Note: READ THE REVIEWS. Dog deeper than what they had their Friends write for them. There are people who Live in this motel who were put out for the weekend due to the owners being able to sell rooms for more money this weekend due to a local concert. I watched Three regulars get sent packing while I was in the office on my first morning there trying to figure out why they were overcharging me. One man there said they do that to him too!

  Avoid this place if you want hot water

  16 Jun 2025

  This place is cheap for a reason. The room smelled - it wasn’t so bad but it did smell. There was no warm water in the shower. The kitchen area was new but there were no kettle, pans, cups or plates or cutlery - nothing. The brand new hob was not wired in and did not work. The telephone to reception was not wired in either. The worst thing was that when we complained about all of this, they seemed to just shrug it all off. They could have just lent us an electric kettle or assured us that the shower would be warm in the morning but the attitude was what really annoyed us. We just left but thankfully the hotel did refund us in full so we will give them credit for that.Very disappointing because the hotel is in a great location and all they need to do is to buy some cheap electric kettles or coffee makers and that would make all the difference. You piss people off over a few bucks like this? Come on.

  WORST Dump I’ve ever Stayed In! NEVER AGAIN.

  11 Jun 2025

  Absolutely the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Dirty, black hairs in shower, super shabby, patched walls and tub. No amenities. Smells like old dank cigarettes. Feels dirty. Depressing to wake up in the room. One cut above a flop house. NEVER AGAIN! I’d rather pay double for a decent room. Rate F-
