Encinitas hotels

Pros: love the location of the resort. The pool area is very nice and a great place to relax.

Cons: Food pretty expensive

Cons: Received a notice the night before my stay that my reservation had been cancelled.

Pros: Very friendly staff.

Cons: Food is very pricey but good

Pros: Excellent service--definitely well attended and pampered. Beds are comfortable and maid service spot on. The location of the hotel makes it peaceful, good views, and quiet. But it requires driving around to the beach, any activities, and food is extremely limited in options/budget choices for miles.

Cons: There are two parts of the resort, a distance apart on a hill. While they are great about providing shuttles, it does really make a difference. The Summit: where the kids club room is located, so it was important for us to be here. But the pool is smaller, and the spa/restaurant are a distance away. The Meadows: feels a bit swankier, the main lobby of the hotel where to get beach equipment and movies. So staying here might be more central/convenient. NIcer pool and longer food service for pool.

Pros: Staff was very friendly and helpfully

Cons: Took a while to check in as they seemed to be short staffed at the front. Attendant was very nice, just a bit overwhelmed with number of guest. Room was not as luxurious as expected but bathroom was nice.

Pros: Everything!!

Pros: I have stayed at the Beach Terrace Inn several times and have always been happy with the staff and service. The rooms are large and well appointed. The location is great as it is on the beach with most rooms having full, unobstructed views of the beach and Pacific Ocean. It is also only a block away from very nice restaurants and shops. No street noise, just the sound of the surf.

Pros: The view was picturesque . Shannon the at the front desk carries this place, she should go into hotel management.

Cons: Seriously outdated rooms, tripped several times on the uneven flooring in room 26. The carpet felt like it had been laid over another carpet that had been folded over in different areas. Bedding was not what I expected for the money that they charged for an exclusive room. Maid service needs basic bed making 101, how to tuck in the bottom sheet so patrons feet are not touching the mattress pad. Pool was cloudy, ran out of towels. All round we were not impressed with anything the Beach Terrace Inn had to offer. CHEAP.

Pros: I liked: Friendly, helpful staff Location on the beach Large attractive room with king bed Pool & beach facing room view Large fancy bathroom Room fridge Wine glasses and corkscrew provided Very close parking Continental breakfast buffet and ample seating Beach equipment loan

Cons: I didn't like: Area traffic Steep, narrow stairways High price (well, it was right on the beach!)

Pros: Loved being right on the icean and watching sunsets and hearing surf right out of our room. Appreciated continental breakfast. Lovely accomodations. Might be a little difficult for handicapped person to get around, however.

Cons: The Internet service kept booting me off. My husband could not talk on his iphone (sprint) unless he went out in front of the hotel. I guess Carlsbad limits cell towers.

Pros: It was a clean,quiet and very comfortable.The breakfast was delicious.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Pros: The breakfast was good. The location is great. Just 5 minutes drive to Legoland and 5 minutes from the beach.

Cons: The only minus will be that the room was a little on the small side.

Pros: Brand new rooms and facilities. Great breakfast.

Cons: Thin walls. I could hear casual conversation from other rooms. The service was poor. The front desk was often left unattended, and the maid service was minimal - I stayed for several days and they never vacuumed. This is the first Marriott property that didn't provide complimentary lotion.

Pros: I loved everything about this gorgeous Inn.

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: My sister recommended this hotel and we were pleased. Room was great; the bathroom is probably one of the bigger one I've seen (you can get out from the shower without almost touching the toilet). Having a functional kitchen is a plus. Continental breakfast is offered which is nice, so I don't have to make an extra stop to feed the kids in the morning. Staff we dealt with are nice and courteous. Our destination is LEGOLAND which is very close by. It is also close by stores like Costco and Target.

Cons: Breakfast hour is from 7 - 9, which works for business travel but for family vacation, the hours are too early and I feel rushed to get out of bed and downstairs to grab a bite. This may just be me, but there is no dimmer light in the bedroom side - there are only two very bright one on the nightstand, and you cannot turn on the bathroom light (where the counter is) without the light shining to the beds and disturb whoever is sleeping there. Walls are definitely thin, the room above us was probably doing DDR the whole time we were there and the room next to our bedroom was listening to music all night long. =\

Pros: Good location, the staff is friendly, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The free breakfast was very good.

Cons: Since there isn’t a full service restaurant, there aren’t any restaurants close by (if you are new to the area). It’s really just located around other hotels. There are no facilities for charging an electric vehicle. There is an outdoor outlet, but it’s located right next to a handicapped parking space. That’s a deal-breaker for us, so we won’t stay there again. There are hotels nearby that do have those stations so they really need to upgrade.

Cons: Families with screaming kids at breakfast. Did not matter if it was 6am or 8am. Should have adult only seating area at breakfast.

Pros: We spent one night here after a visit to Legoland. Room was clean. Staff was friendly. Everything was newer. The kids loved it. We were very happy and will definitely stay here again.

Cons: There were a few ants in the kitchen the following morning. It happens. Notified the front desk upon checkout.

Pros: Location, value, friendly staff

Cons: 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.

Pros: The entire park was clean, easy access going into the park from the hotel.

Cons: It was great! Nothing we didn't like.

Pros: Every staff member from management to housekeeping took the time to have real conversations with the kids.

Cons: Need to lower the price on drinks, so I could afford another drink. They were pricey by any standard.

Pros: The hotel was an incredible experience for our children, who love Legos!

Cons: I liked everything!

Pros: Hotel is geared towards young people

Pros: Separate kids space

Cons: Not much to do after park closes and not many extra amenities

Pros: Almost everything was great. The staff was friendly, the hotel is geared towards families with children and there are many unique experiences. From the complementary buffet to the evening dance party, Legoland Hotel is the perfect way to experience Legoland.

Cons: The hotel is a little bit on the expensive side.

Pros: Great location. Nice staff.

Cons: Very noisy because with multiple events with loud music.

Pros: Georgeous, tranquil spot that makes you feel like you are truly on vacation.

Cons: I wish the check-in time had been earlier and the check-out time had been later. There's not a whole lot you can take advantage of (pool, spa, gym, tennis, bike rides, bars, etc) between the hours of 4pm and 11am if you are only staying one night.

Pros: Very nice hotel in an ideal location. You can park your car and forget about it (or not bring one). The beach is across the street and the village (Old Del Mar) has everything you need for a long weekend stay.

Cons: The lobby and rooms are nice but the property overall feels like it could use a freshening - it's a bit dated. Small quibble though because this really is a terrific place to stay. I'll be back for sure.

Pros: Everything.

Cons: The only week spot and it's very minimal is the complementary breakfast.

Pros: I really liked​ how close the hotel is to the beach and the restaurants. Also, the Hawaiian feel the resort has really made me feel like we were on a Hawaiian vacation. Loved it!

Pros: The people were wonderful. Really not worth the money - I've stayed at much nicer hotels for less.

Cons: Just not my cup of tea. I was there for a conference and the conference was held at the hotel - so it was convenient - I will probably stay offsite next year for less money.

Pros: Love this place... Property grounds are impeccable! Rooms are clean and updated. Always a great time!

Cons: The pool was way too overcrowded. I think they sell membership to to the pool to the community making it unusable to the hotel guests. There were so many people you could hardly move in it and the water was so cloudy I couldnt even see my feet. Will never go back to this hotel.

Pros: Loved the setting and the grounds. The room size was huge with a separate bath tub from the shower stall which was really nice. Love the out door patio and the staff was very friendly.

Cons: The room smelled very musty and was freezing, probably to hide the smell. I never could get the room warm enough for my wife and I but fortunately, it was a VERY WARM weekend and we left the french doors open the whole time to get that desired warmth into the room. We were an older room of theirs so I'm not sure if this is the reason for the musty smell but it was pretty strong for our stay there. Had I been there more than one night, I definitely would have requested another room.

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

Cons: 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

Pros: Everything. Love love love. Looking right now to go back. :)

Cons: More food options. That's all

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

Cons: We were looking for a quiet getaway; this was not it. There were families with kids above and next to our room and we got pretty bad sleep. Slamming doors, loud TV's, running and on and on - quite late and then early in the morning. I asked for a quiet room and got nothing but noise.

Pros: The room and pool area was nice. Blue fire grill was fabulous!

Cons: Front desk staff was unhelpful on multiple occasions. The day spa is mediocre at best and is long overdue for renovations! Indoor facility grout is disgusting and the indoor hot tubs are falling apart!

Pros: everything

Cons: The bathroom was too small for the room

Pros: Location location location. Right by the beach and lots of cute local restaurants

Cons: Staff was totally focused on getting guests to follow rules about everything and not on how to make this the most enjoyable experience. No flexibility and felt like middle school... Despite the location, not sure I'd go back.

Pros: Great location across the street from the beach and walking distance to many restaurants. Comfortable one bedroom suites. Front desk staff and housekeeping staff are very friendly and efficient.

Cons: tiny swimming pool tiny fitness center $20 per day extra charge for parking, wifi etc.

Pros: Location. Large rooms. Nice amenities.

Cons: Cockroaches in bathrooms by pool area. Should provide easier access to beach towels.

Cons: 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.

Pros: Can't beat the location.

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: Great location and good breakfast

Pros: LOCATION

Cons: Lighting, low quality coffee maker and coffee.

Pros: You are literally right across the street from a great beach! We could walk down and swim and play for a few hours, go back and do other things, then head down again if we wanted! Amazing views! We saw dolphins (or porpoises?) while eating breakfast!

Cons: This is not a big deal . . . they only had pre-packaged breakfast foods, but that was because they were remodeling their kitchen and they posted a notice about it, so by the time someone else goes, the breakfast will probably be even better than it was!

Pros: The service was great! The rooms were clean and quiet. The free breakfast was good and the view from the breakfast room was fantastic. They also had a balcony to sit and eat also which had an awesome view of the ocean.

Pros: The location was very nice and the hotel was ok. the staff was good. The breakfast was good

Cons: Saturday night was terrible. Other guests were loud and obnoxious from 2200 to 0300 hrs. We called down to the office 2 times and other guests hollered down to the party in the courtyard to go somewhere else but the party continued. We got not refund

Pros: I really liked everything about this hotel. Location, cleanliness and size of the room. The amenities and the proximity to restaurants and the beach.

Cons: I dont have any complaints at all about this hotel.

Pros: Had exemplary interaction , service from Brooke, and Raj ! Both went out of their way to make our stay EXTRA Special! Very personable and extra friendliness

Cons: Asked twice for 1 more suitcase holder. The Bathroom in our room 2011, had no towel rscks

Pros: Was down here for a visit to Legoland and booked the hotel for the lower cost and 3.5 star rating. To our surprise, the hotel was very new construction and a nice modern look to it and the rooms had great features. Will come back for the next trip to Legoland.

Pros: close to legoland. close to trader joes. early checkin and friendly staff. easy parking. nice clean pool. clean rooms. walls thin? somewhat but whatever it's a hotel and we weren't bothered at all.

Cons: rooms were a bit stuffy. mickey mouse hours for food/bar on weekends. i guess holiday express means catered for business travelers weekdays? no room service. all this was minor for a good overall hotel. oh and one major con but not a dealbreaker. no ice machine on the first floor!

Pros: Clean rooms

Cons: This place is simply a fancy motel charging hotel prices. Service was no different from a motel. Resort fee was a joke.

Pros: 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!

Pros: Super helpful and friendly staff, nice facilities, pools were awesome for relaxing during the day.

Cons: The check-in time of four and check-out time of eleven is a little tight, but we requested a later check out (noon) and that made it closer to what we are used to at other hotels.They offered to let us use the pool after checking out so that was really nice of them.

Pros: The s'more kit upon check in, super friendly and helpful staff. Very nice room, comfortable and well maintained.

Cons: We were in town for a soccer tournament and the weather was in 60s so we would have liked to enjoy the pool and lake activities.

Cons: Tons of bugs. Couldn't use the beautiful balcony.

Pros: I loved the room and the fact that it was right by the lake. It had a great view.

Cons: The only thing I didn't like was that hardly and water came out from the shower or the sink but besides that everything else was great!

Pros: The Lakehouse has a lot of potential and gets a lot of things right, but it lets the little details get in the way of really hitting the mark. Pros: - Comfortable beds - Full showers - Beautiful pools - Friendly staff - Free Wi-Fi - Free parking - Mini fridge - Activities for kids

Cons: Cons: - Noise - Bugs - Outside light - No safe in room - No plugs at computer desk - Wi-Fi drops and is unreliable Most rooms are motel-style and open directly to the outside, which can be noisy and makes it much easier for bugs to end up in the room (especially with the rooms being so close to the lake). We had mosquitos and silverfish in our room two or three days in a row.

Pros: Everything - it was very unassuming and we were more than surprised.

Cons: Wasn't anything we didn't like

Pros: Loved the atmosphere. Calm by the lake. Family oriented! Felt like vacation! Music, bar, and s'mores by the pool! The lake and the boat rental our favorite part!

Cons: Drinks at the pool bar a little pricey.

Pros: Great staff,truly care about you...my husband was having surgery and they wanted to make sure he had everything he needed to be comtorable and have a room on the first floor and they also upgraded us to a room that was right on the lake free of charge:) amazing beds,showers,true spa like feel

Cons: The only thing that bothers me is that you can't check in until 4 and you have to check out by 11

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: great value for the price. We had a great time !

Pros: The room, the breakfast, the staff.

Cons: card key didn't work at the two back doors.

Pros: 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.

Pros: Staff that checks us in and out were just dolls. Really sweet. Very receptive to my children. Rooms were extremely clean. Breakfast was great. Always replenished. Omelets cereal waffles fresh fruit potatoes toast muffins not from the supermarket. Cookies juices milk coffee hot chocolate chicjen sausage bagels lots of different spreads for the breads and waffles. Oatmeal cottage cheese. And it was a Monday! Weekdays at most hotels serve basic pastry utems cereal and toast. They save the restaurant style for weekends only. It was quiet on my 2nd floor. The small room they have filled with grocery items was convenient. They offer free newspapers a treasure box for kids to Rumsfeld through. A treat for the children. The eating area is very nice. Not a bunch of wooden tables. Nice cushioned seats. Exercise room was clean and well lit. Parking was easy to access.

Cons: Pool seems small pool area as well. 4pm check in. I usually go to hotels that are 1-3pm check in. Check out is noon. So, that's not giving me s full 24hr stay. A 20hr stay.

Cons: Jacuzzi was cloudy with a beautiful green fungus color.

Pros: Clean room, we'll lit, quite location. The housekeepers/laundry staff were working hard, definitely making the place clean.

Cons: Parking is horrible for anything larger than a compact car. Not the easiest place to park a full size chevy suv. The beds....well at least they were clean. Comfort was non existing. I've had better sleep after a pot of coffee, but what was even worse than the bed was the response I received from the staff at the front desk when I brought it up. It was almost as if a requirement to work the front desk was to have a "I'm better than you" attitude. Very dry and callous demeanor.
