Top Eli Howard Surf School Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Del Mar/Solana Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so accommodating! It made our trip that much better."

Comfort Inn Encinitas Near Legoland

8/10 Good

"It was a nice place place to stay! I didn't realize there was going to be a 50 dollar deposit when we got there despite paying all extra fees and taxes here on Expedia. So be prepared for that lol. It was a nice hotel, pretty clean and the staff where nice. We didn't make it to a breakfast but saw a long line for waffles so those must be good!"

Rodeway Inn Encinitas North

8/10 Good

"Stay here with hubby and 9month old. The place was nice and updated. Aesthetically it looked really nice, however, I do wish it would have been cleaner. The shower floor seemed dirty but it could have been the been the way the floor looked too. Additionally, I found it odd that they have 3 pillows and 3 towels in a king room for 2 person occupancy, but maybe I'm neat picking at that? The main reason I gave 4 star(debatable 3.8) was because the sleeping area was just not up to par. Sheets were a bit rough, pillows and mattress made my neck and back hurt. As a hotel I feel like this is were you have to have it the best and for me for me it just wasn't."

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good

"This is a great location, being within walking distance of downtown and the beach. The area is so nice you need not walk, with free parking anyway, but you could. This property is undergoing extensive renovation. However, the room was simple but clean and new. It was quiet at night, and the shower was great. The bed was comfortable too. We did not go down for the continental breakfast, which is currently a makeshift setup of five in a room while the lobby is renovated. The price was excellent for a simple, clean, nice room with a great location. Just don't be disappointed; it is not fancy at this time."
