Encinitas Hotels

Nice size room. Close to the beach and nice restaurants. The free wifi was nice. Room was clean.

No breakfast. Parking is next to impossible at night. The woman at front desk answered us as curtly as possible.

Good price

Needs a complimentary breakfast

Somewhat dirty, gnats in our room the whole stay, light went out, fridge didn't work, a/c kept turning off.

nothing

TV didn't work right. reception was fuzzy, remote didn't work. Complained, wanted different room, they sent a person wwho reset the TV, when I returned, still sucked. I had a 7 inch samsung tablet that mysteriously dissapeared from the room. Other that they said they would ask the staff, nothing turned up.

I have a bad back and the bed was comfortable enough to keep from tossing and turning. Rooms had refrigerators and microwaves.

Free continental breakfast until 9am was completely put away at 8:45. Glad I had some food with me.

The room smelled stale and faintly of smoke that was covered up. I could not get the shower to produce hot water the first morning so a cold shower. I reported this to the staff and they assured me it would be fixed, but no compensation for the cold shower. The next morning the same thing happened, until I figured out "the trick" to getting the shower to work. Otherwise it was Ok.

Stayed there 5 nights for a horse show. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. The room and bathroom was clean. Air conditioner, refrigerator and microwave worked. The tv was big and worked. Good breakfast for the price (it is included). I liked that the hotel texted and asked if everything was in order. Nice touch.

The parking spots were quiet small. There was plenty of parking spots, but all the ones by my room were designated compact, and they were not kidding. Also, no dresser in my room. I le oils have preferred less open space and a dresser.

Pet Friendly Good price Close to everything Fridge actually kept things cold

Small parking spots Lack of electrical outlets

Close to beach and del mar fair grounds

The main draw was that it was pet-friendly, so we were able to bring our dogs. Not only that, but there was no extra charge! The hotel was super clean, had a pool and jacuzzi, and hot breakfast in the morning. Very impressed! The biscuits and gravy FTW!!

The location is great. Close to the beaches and the boutique shops. The breakfast was well supplied and the staff was OK. But try Air B&B for better value. After this we found several nice places at 1/3 the cost and much better breakfasts.

Doors, shower, lights and heating were broken. Then there was a fire alarm that kept going off at midnight. The fire department showed up and checked things out but it was obvious that the alarm had issues. But the staff blamed it on pranks from kids. No Way!! That was crap. This place needs to be repaired.

They didn't have my reservation and asked me to send an email to confirm that I had a reservation

I liked that the resort has a welcoming feel and that most all of the rooms (besides the villas) were surrounded by the amenities.

1. The prices in the Marketplace. $16 for a water noodle, when they sell them for $7 right down the street! That would be hard especially for people who are having to buy for more than one kid. 2. Our bed. It was not very comfortable

Great courtyard area for gathering after a great day. The staff! Starbucks steps away for a morning wake up call.

Nothing

We lived the location and the room and the staff was accommodating. Modern design was open and fresh.

Bed was very firm, as were all pillows. Rowdy guests were very loud into the early morning and ruined our short stay at the pool area.

Shuttle and friendly desk help.

LOUD freeway. Initially difficult to find the address (misleading street address).

I found a died roch in my room!

Location and price

After staying here for many years every yeaar it gets a little worse. Its finally at the point its worth a couple more dollars to stay somewhere else

Nothing

Room was dirty, hair in shower, bed uncomfortable, shower head shook, rug torn, stains on everything.

Decor was nice

Not clean Not well lit outside Dirty

Room was very clean and comfortable. Beds comfortable. Enough space, enough power outlets, good desk space. Convenient location. Breakfast was good.

Next to highway.

Excellent staff, loved the bistro, beautiful room

Manager seemed friendly. Cleanliness was okay.

Rooms small, modestly furnished. Despite the balconies shown in pictures of this hotel, I was not able to get a balcony room. Fitness center is modest, only one weight bench. TV in fitness center was broken. No continental breakfast included! Instead you must buy breakfast at the hotel's very lousy restaurant. It took almost 30 minutes for the cook to prepare my simple eggs, the price was way too high for the area, and the food quality was low. Verdict: expensive AND shitty.

Location,location,location!! I have stayed many times at this Hilton and we love it from proximity to the beach and Carlsbad Village. Heated pool and outdoors movie night are great too! Super nice and friendly staff.

$12 fee for parking

Location. Cleanliness. Cookies. Hot tub.

Great customer service from beginning to end. We booked several rooms along with a conference room and the staff were all helpful to us. Complimentary breakfast was good and had variety. Bed was comfortable and amenities were plenty. Several fast food places right next door. Would definitely stay again.

Jacuzzi was cloudy with a beautiful green fungus color.

The location to the beach and the view from the rooms.

The mattress, towels, sheets and pillows need to be replaced along with updating the entire hotel.

Nice size room. Location was west of the freeway - near the ocean. Nice shower. Nice to have a patio.

Room was very dark, chair was damaged with scratches (by a pet?). Parking lot was challenging when pulling a trailer - very difficult to turn around. Pet area not clean - trash overflowing and pet droppings left behind. View from room was of freeway.

Location, value, friendly staff

Automatic lights that can't be turned off. Woke me and my kids up repeatedly. Called down to the front desk and they said they could send an engineer up, but my kids were already asleep in the living room. Other than this, great hotel.

Clean and comfort.

I need some bottle of water in the room which I can buy directly instead of go down to buy it.

Room was spacious and clean, shower was great, location was great.

I was woken up by housekeeping in the morning on the day I checked out- I would have liked to sleep in! And I don't like the hidden "resort fee".

Very kid-friendly and the proximity to Legoland was nice. The staff were generally pretty helpful. The gym had a good selection of equipment.

For the price, the room that we had was sub-par. The wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling and the shower was pretty run-down. Although some of the gym equipment had televisions built in, there was limited volume despite the supplying of headphones. Couldn't really hear anything while running on the treadmill.

This is a BEAUTIFUL RESORT, the location is EXCELLENT and the view is AMAZING but...

We were walking around in the room barefoot and after 15 min we noticed the bottom of our feet were BLACK. The carpet in our room was disgustingly dirty!!! Then there was not hot water for our entire stay. I understand hot water was a mechanical issue but dirty carpet in the rooms in a lack of cleanliness.

Proximity to Legoland. Child friendly atmosphere. Pool was great for kids.

Housekeeping arriving after 5 pm.

Staff were extremely friendly and efficient.Ladies who set up breakfast did a great job, breakfast was superb !!! The manager's special on Mon-Wed nights was good.Room was spacious,clean,quiet.location -great,5 min drive to beaches.

housekeeping forgot to put pillowcases on 3 pillows- no big deal, we called and they brought them up promptly.

Free breakfast and close to legoland

We only staying one night and there wasn't ice in the freezer and when we turned the ice maker on it only may a few cubes of ice

We loved the room, bed was really comfortable. Had a great nights sleep. The pool area is great. Cabanas, two pools, two jacuzzis, and two firepitts. Plenty of space.

Staff was nice but not very knowledgeable. No one ever went out of their way to help if there was a problem.

We LOVED our one-night stay at the Lakehouse! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left - everything was perfect. We booked it last minute as a fun little getaway during the holidays. We got a pretty good deal since we stayed the night before New Year's Eve (12/30). The hotel texted us to let us know our room was ready and we were able to check in around 1 PM. We had a ground floor pool view room. Every room has a balcony with bright yellow adirondack chairs and it was really nice sitting outside our room, with a cup of coffee and my book. They had quiet reggae music playing at the pool and I really enjoyed it! The room was IMMACULATE. Everything felt new and crisp and clean. I loved the color scheme and layout too. The room was really spacious and just overall lovely. It was just 2 of us for one night but I did notice that there were a TON of outlets throughout the room. Nice touch in this day and age when we all have so many electronics to charge :) The pools were both heated and almost warm enough for me to swim in (On December 30, mind you). We loved the jacuzzis though! I wish we'd been there on a Friday when they serve Sangria at the pool! (oh well, we'll just have to go back). In the evening they have fire pits around the pools that they light and it was really pretty and romantic. The grounds were really peaceful and tranquil. And even though the hotel was probably at low to moderate capacity - it feels like the type of place that even when it's full, it doesn't feel crowded. I noticed that another couple was checked into the room next to us, and there were people above them, but I never heard anyone at all when we were in our room. They serve free coffee in the morning at their little cafe and it was better than that your standard free hotel coffee. We walked by the lake, but didn't participate in any of the many lake activities. I also went for a run in the neighborhood in the morning and it's a really cute little community. We had a great time at the Lakehouse and kept saying we really wanted to bring friends back!

Nice room

noisy

The accommodation was very good, however the location was poor, the pool was unusable as there was work going on in the surrounding area and construction workers were ever present

pool area, as this was almost on top of a busy roadway

Location is hard to beat. It is within a short, 5-10 min, drive of everything Carlsbad has to offer - from the beach, to Legoland, to the downtown area. All staff were friendly and accommodating and the price was nearly right but could have been better considering the condition of those carpets!

The carpets were EXTREMELY dirty and turned our feet black after every shower. Sandals were always needed to avoid this, which can be difficult with children. Please regularly shampoo your carpets if not planning to install new carpet every few years!

even though it is not walking distance from the local downtown Carlsbad area I really enjoyed the quiet and tranquility of the location. I can honestly say all my needs were met with the staff actually going above and beyond it is definitely a Stay again location

I've currently stayed there twice and I am rather concerned over the fact that both times I was put in a specific room the first time the room was under maintenance so I was put in a different room the second time the room is available and I was put in it I kept hearing rambling in the pipes underneath the sink . some might say that's just a coincidence but I am truly curious to Why

~ good breakfast ~ Shuttle to Legoland ~ friendly staff

Welcoming staff, cleanliness , location,

Took a hot bath, so relaxing

Only one exit away from Legoland. Free wifi is speedy. Newer LCD TV, very friendly staff, rates are very reasonable. Close to a supermarket and pharmacy if needed.

They didn't have in room checkout service via the TV. No adjoining rooms available. Only one ice machine on the first floor. In our room the AC wasn't as powerful as the other room we had.

Very comfortable, clean, inviting, private, and safe.

That there wasn't even a bench for a smoker to sit on when they smoked on the sidewalk.

I can best describe this Lodge as "home like". The amenities and ambiance are so pleasant that my wife and I decided it would be a good place to spend a week at some point in the future. We had a great stay and will definitely return.

The continental breakfast is well presented and met our needs nicely. The location of the Lodge is great, across the street from the beach and near quaint shopping and restaurants.

The location across the street from the beach, near Carlsbad Village, and Legoland was great. Nice size rooms. The Rec room, in-room DVD players, and DVD library are great for families. Free parking, wifi, and breakfast.

Tub and shower tile a little dated. The beds and bedding were not as comfortable as other hotels.

The property overall is quite noisy from the inside guest traffic not outside street traffic. Whenever closeby guests move around, take showers or walk outside the rooms, we heard pretty much everything. It seems the property us quite old and does not have guest noise cancellation of any form. Thank you.

Large, great kitchen and an nice easy-chair

Location is good, near the beach and only a few miles down the freeway from Legoland. Shopping areas nearby. Ha ving a fridge and microwave in the room was nice and gave us the option to bring cereal and milk and not have to pay for the breakfast as we eat light anyway.

Hotel is older and not as "neat" as it could be, although the room was clean. Hotel is near the train line, which wasn't mentioned in other reviews, and I did hear the train's whistle even later at night.

cost, hair dyer,
