I love this room! We were able to walk to the corner store and get food to cook for breakfast followed by a wonderful walk on the beach! The rooms are clean spacious and comfortable with a kitchenette. The staff was super helpful and kind. 10/10 would stay here again!

Quaint, well managed and clean. Maybe an optional broom or floor sweeper and room slippers (even for an add on purchase) will be a good choice. Maybe just applicable more if you are having little ones who loves to leave crumbs everywhere. But in all. It is a great place to stay, the beds with extra pillows were so comfy. Worth the exceptional stars. Well recommended.

This was our third staycation stay there. The property is clean, the staff is really nice, the rooms have everything you need to cook, refrigerate, the utensils are there, and there are many eating and drinking establishments within walking distance. And you can walk to the beach in less than 10 minutes. It’s a great place to stay.

First off this is such a cool beach town. The whole area was quaint and friendly. The inn is a great change from a traditional hotel and certainly beats a vacation rental. Plenty to do on the strip. Very convenient

Have stayed here before. Simple, no frills. Comfortable like a mid-century motel (built in the 1920s). Staff are friendly and accommodating. Clean. Great walkable location. Would appreciate if paper towels were provided, esp.since it has a kitchenette. Also, kleenex would be nice, and easy access to an ice maker. None are dealbreakers, just extra touches.

The Leucadia is such a LOVELY property. Our room was the most cute and quaint I have stayed in in many years. It has a full kitchen with a table and 4 chairs. There's a little market with fresh fruits and vegetables next door and a few restaurants within a few blocks. The owner is great. I will return!

The Leucadia Beach Inn in beautiful North County San Diego is great! My wife and I stayed for one night to see a band play at the Belly Up Tavern in nearby Solana Beach. The owner Mark was cool and informative along with a sense of humor. Quiet and mellow and an easy walk to the beach, dining and other interests in Leucadia. We will return again when the opportunity arises. Thank you!

We've stayed here several times before and is our favorite place to stay in the San Diego area. Charming building, friendly service although parking can be a big tight. Mini-market a few doors away where you can get food to cook. Fun place to stay!

Hotel was unique and we liked that we could walk to the beach and a variety of restaurants. There were lots of footstep noises from the room next door which is to be expected in an older building. The cabinet door above the microwave needed repair. Staff was friendly and parking was easy

Very clean with the amenities we needed. Convenient parking right outside room. Simple checkin. Office manager answered our questions and was very helpful. Liked there were so many restaurants and bars in area. Simple to navigate - moat everything is on main strip. Walked to several beaches, although needed to drive to larger, sandy walkable ones. Great time. Thank you.

Very nice room, clean, comfortable beds, tiny bathroom, kitchenette. It looked as though there are hundreds of available channels on the television (we just watched a bit of the news, though.) Amazing places to eat nearby, close to Moonlight Beach. A couple of suggestions - a pedestal sink in the bathroom rather than the cabinet that gets wet from the shower, and at least one safety/grab bar in the shower. We will definitely stay here again. Mid-range price, convenient location, very comfortable, surprisingly quiet at night.
