    Best location to meet our friends at Moonlight Beach (just some steps away) and to explore North County. The shops and restaurants in Downtown Encinitas are around the corner - too many good options :-)! We discovered our favourite breakfast...

    Great location, at walking distance from the beach. Even partial ocean view from my room. Basic but spacious room. Sliding doors opening to the balcony! I hate hotelrooms with windows that can't open; I'm a fresh-air freak :-)
