“The location was very close to Moonlight Beach, which was a lovely beach for families. It is very hilly there and there are very few accessible beaches in Encinitas so the location was great for accessibility. It’s an older hotel but they have tried to do a good job of keeping it up-to-date. We had a lovely view of the ocean, which was nice and a nice deck to sit on. Staff was very helpful.”
