Cardiff-by-the-Sea 2 Stars Hotels

The Moonlight Beach Motel has been nicely updated recently and the view from the deluxe double room was amazing! There are no frills but has what you need including coffee maker, mini fridge & microwave & you can beat how close to the beach it is. It is very clean & well kept and Jordan at the front desk is very nice & helpful. I will stay here again.

Great location with good parking. I enjoyed the walk to Beacon Park and Grandview beach access points. (Both have long steep descents; people with mobility challenges may need to drive to get to easier access.) Nice clean room with kitchenette. Friendly staff.

We particularly enjoyed the central recreation area including a heated swimming pool, hot tub, fire pits, an inside rec room with pool table and big screen tv, fitness gym, sauna, many seating areas.

Stayed here for one night after a concert & was happy to have found this place. The rooms were tidy, the staff was kind & friendly. Very quiet hotel. Perfect for a good night's sleep. Highly recommend!

Excellent accommodations; clean and comfortable rooms, safe and convenient parking and excellent breakfast

The room was clean and even though it's by an airport it was extremely quite and the bed was comfortable so we slept good. We were provided with great customer service and delicious breakfast! I would definitely stay again if in the area again!

Great people nice pool and Jacuzzi wonderful beds just need to put some silverware plates and pots and pans in your kitchen then it would be perfect

Great location

Very nice, clean. Loved that the bathroom light would turn on as you walked towards it. Shower was amazing. Ac/heater worked well and wifi was great! Microwave wasn't in the room but on the deck which was easy to get to. Wish it was warmer to swim in the pool! Loved the restaurants and things to do around the area and in walking distance. Would def stay at again!

centric clean safe

It was a self check in/out which was very convenient. You can text the staff and they are very responsive. The place is very quaint, older but very well kept and clean. The only thing that was difficult is the parking is very tight and small area so we had to park about 2 blocks away. This was the only negative experience. The bed was very comfortable and there is no AC but our room had 5 fans throughout so it was not an issue on a 78 degree day. It was quiet and we had great water pressure...

Clean, quiet, good for family

Awesome ocean view and yummy breakfast!

Pleasant stay

Stuff is very accommodating and truly cares about you. Location is 5 min away from a very nice beach.

I love this place!! My family and I enjoyed our stay. We appreciate the warm staff and the cleanliness of the place. The layout is amazing. No outside noise we slept good for the whole night and enjoyed the continental breakfast. Our room is conveniently next to the pool, parking, & the breakfast room. It was awesome! The room was clean, bathroom is well stocked with the best products whole sizes of shampoo, conditioner & body wash, the linens and beds are clean and comfy! We will come back here...

Wonderful location directly across from beach access and the Carlsbad village. Service was awesome! They made our experience special and stress free, especially having young children. They provided all of the beach amenities we could ask for, including towels, toys, chairs, umbrellas. The grounds of the property really made the stay extra special. It’s meticulously maintained with a Hawaiian vibe. You very much feel like you’ve been transported to the islands. Can’t wait to come back!
