"Location was great even the room location was great, however, room smelled bad, I’m sure it was the carpet. Walls were disgusting dirty. Bathroom floor was gross. Hotel needs to get rid of carpeting or clean it often. Won’t be staying there again."
"Checked in with Jeff very easy yet not very personable. Amenities extra $15/day even if you’re not using. Gym pool spa internet parking buffet breakfast. No disability parking in front door entrance only back (which was to far away from room) no help offered with luggage (only self service heavy push carts) Did not ask if I wanted help or if I was going to utilize these amenities.
Room smelled of heavy use chemicals to clean room. (Could taste it).
Ocean view claim with balcony was actually only seen if you walked and peered to the left.
Bed not the most comfortable. Exit room door would slam at night very loud.
Walk in tile shower floor slippery while showering and shower head had very low pressure."
"It's centrally located, the room is clean and has everything you need. The bed is comfortable even if the room is a bit small. Service is nice. Parking spaces are sufficient. There is also a small, sweet breakfast package to go."
"How should I put it, the price is cheap, but I really can't live for two days, I was bitten by a flea on the bed, and the toilet was blocked in the first room...The front desk said that no one repaired it. Changed another room, the lights were broken...make do for one night...the only good one, free parking, breakfast"
"We stayed at this Hampton Inn due to its proximity to Scripps Encinitas Hospital for outpatient surgery. This worked quite well for our 5:30 am check-in. The hotel itself is clean, modern and has excellent outdoor parking The complimentary breakfast was good and the staff accommodated our request for late check-out as the surgery and recovery for a family member was longer than expected. We could not have asked for more and will return when the need arises again."
"Cute place to stay, close to friends and family whom I was visiting. The gentleman who checked me into the hotel was very nice and knew a lot about the area. The room was cute, functional, and clean. It was very quiet and relaxing. I would definitely stay there again if I'm back in the area."
"My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days and stay close to the beach. We chose the Moonlight Beach Motel based on the reviews. PROS: Excellent location!!! Within a few minutes walk of Moonlight Beach, probably one of the nicest beach areas on the North San Diego Coast. Also within easy walking distance of many shops and restaurants, as well as the train station. We actually took a day trip by the Coaster to Old Town San Diego. Our room was recently renovated, very spacious and clean. It actually had two king beds, a first for me, and they were comfortable. We were on the 2nd floor and had a nice partial view of the ocean and beach from our balcony. The shower had nice pressure and hot water. The TV was new and the WiFi worked fine. There is a small fridge inside one of the dressers. It was very quiet while we were there. There are BBQ grills outside facing the beach that we didn't use. There is plenty of parking. CONS: The outside of the motel is average looking, not a big deal. The office is very small and located within the property. They provide coffee and packaged Danishes but no continental breakfast, also not a big deal. We were told that there is no early check-in, and emailed as well. We did arrive two hours early and did double check this policy, and the front desk clerk confirmed. If the room is ready, I don't know why one can't check in early. Though the rooms were newly renovated, they seemed unfinished. Our bathroom did not have baseboards or a shelf in the shower for shampoo, soap, and other accessories. There was no shelf in the closet. There was an iron and board, but no hairdryer. My understanding is that there is no ice machine or laundry room, though that did not matter to us. Housekeeping was an issue. We stayed two nights. After our first night, we left in the morning and did not return until about 3 pm. The room had not been cleaned. About 20 minutes later there was a knock on the door and it was the housekeeper. She asked us if we needed anything. I said more towels and to have the bathroom cleaned. We could make our own bed. She took away the old towels and provided new ones, and that was it. A quick inspection revealed that she had not cleaned the sink or toilet, or emptied the trash. I wonder what she would have done if we were not in the room. I had read a review that said some of the housekeepers did a great job and others tried to get away with the bare minimum. We experienced the latter. We did enjoy our trip to Encinitas and our stay at the Moonlight Beach Motel. The location can't be beat and the price, at least for this time of year, was reasonable. Expect clean, spacious, no-frills accommodations and if your room is on the 2nd or 3rd floor enjoy the ocean views. Should we decide to return to Encinitas for a vacation we would stay here again."
"The location is half an hour's drive from SD. If you are a nearby resident, it would be more suitable for a vacation. The hotel facilities are relatively new, but there are few surrounding supporting facilities. It is suitable for lounging in the hotel. The beach and other entertainment facilities are also average. This is the only hotel in the United States that can It's alila if you're bringing children. It's not recommended to bring children. There's not much to do."
"Living alone is a little scary, and it’s not that good."
