The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"We went to Encinitas for a family vacation, and to our surprise, it turned out to be such a wonderful place to stay. The small, enclosed pool and hot tub were excellent and created a cozy atmosphere. It felt more like a small family gathering than a typical hotel, which we really enjoyed. Parking was super convenient, with plenty of spaces available. Breakfast was great, and the location was close to everything we wanted to visit. We would definitely stay here again. The only downside was the TVs in the rooms - they’re quite basic. Since we were traveling with kids, having a more modern TV with updated features would have made relaxing in the room much more enjoyable."
