“Good Location”
Location was perfect. I have been working in the customer service environment for over 30 years and I have been going all over states for for work a similar time. To call it „continental breakfast“ was a crime in itself. To have plastic cutlery & cups for breakfast in a hotel, hm. For me that’s a definite NO. Every single day brown toast, bagel and waffles. Where is the variety? Couldn’t they have changed it at least a few days a week, again just my opinion. Under the term „continental breakfast“ I understand to be offered some cheese & ham. Being greeted in the morning at reception when enquiring about train travel, with „what“….. To get the answer, I have only lived here for a few years and I don’t take the train…. Having done my homework only to find out the train station was within walking distance. The word „proactive“ is obviously not in the American vocabulary. Or how about making paying guest aware of the information stand with lots of leaflets re: surrounding areas, which is situated just behind the reception desk….. Also, having said good morning every single day to the housekeeping staff, the whole time we were there, two said good morning back. Where is the common curtesy. And it is definitely NOT a language problem hence a lot of workers come from across the border. Got honestly no words for it! The amount we paid to have breakfast - I got two words for it. DAYLIGHT ROBBERY!! The only good thing about it was the location. Thank you.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect. A view of the park and a limited view of the ocean. Breakfast was over the top.

“Carefully photographed to hide its age.”
The location is exceptional. Close to beaches; downtown Encinitas; the freeway; and restaurants. The views are also exceptional.

“Great Bargain for the location!”
Spacious room with a beautiful view from the balcony. Although the hotel does not have a glamorous entry and the host (the one that I dealt with) could have been a little more polite and attentive, the room and the area was fantastic!

“It's an old hotel, but everything was great.”
The location was great. Close to shops, restaurants, and nightlife if you choose. The room was large with a balcony. Plenty of space. Didn't have time to make it to the pool, but it looked nice!
