Location is amazing, clean room 2 blocks from beautiful Moonlight Beach & 1 block to Encinitas' main drag on the 101. Comfortable beds, updated bathrooms & a patio. Most rooms have at least a partial ocean view.

This property is the best Motel I've ever stayed at. We Loved the proximity to Moonlight Beach, the free beach equipment available to borrow, the staff and the amazing ocean view. The staff was very attentive to the smallest problem that came up with awesome customer service. We've already booked our next stay to visit again.

Perfect for what we needed as a family of four with two little kids. Main room had nice kitchenette with queen bed, adjoining room had a door that closes and two twin beds. Rooms were clean, parking was easy, walking distance to playground and beach.
