Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, and Beautiful"

Hampton Inn Cardiff Beach Encinitas, CA Near Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Came here for a little weekend getaway with my wife. Room was very clean and exceeded our expectations. Staff was very helpful and friendly when checking in. Locations is very close to everything you’d need. About 5-10 min from nice beaches and about 20-25 min from Downtown SD. Didn’t get to try out the breakfast provided or the pool area. Overall a great experience and would book again."

Holiday Inn Express Solana Beach-Del Mar by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall our stay was “ok”. The location is really the only thing warranting the amount that it cost per night. We were in town for the San Diego fair which this hotel was very close to. However, the bed wasn’t comfortable, the pillows had zero support and there were hairs in the shower. The AC worked well but did have a “stale water” smell and the view was just a dirt lot and partial parking lot. (If you want better views, I’d request a room that ends in an even number as most of the odd numbers had the dirt lot view). Parking was easy but considering there are renovations happening, not all spots are available and it seems there could be a possibility of it being full at night despite being $16 a night. It wasn’t a horrible stay but I likely wouldn’t stay again."

Winners Circle Solana Beach Del Mar Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Winners circle clearly exceeded my expectations; I expected an average hotel room, instead I got a 1 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms, semi-private patio, full kitchen, fully stocked with cookware, dishes etc. Although my stay was short, I noticed the pool area which was very nice, large and had lifts so anyone in a wheelchair could used the pool or hot tub. IMO, they covered all the bases. Its right across the street from the Del Mar fairgrounds/race track and an epic seafood restaurant right next door. Anytime I'm in North County this would be my first and only choice of accommodations....AND, it's a 5 minute drive to Fletcher Cove Beach. I stayed on June 21 and rates were extremely reasonable."

Cardiff by the Sea Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful property. Our favorite part was eating breakfast and watching the sunset on the rooftop. There are so many good restaurants nearby and beautiful beaches along the cliffs. We loved the many places to walk (Torrey Pines, Annie’s Canyon and coastal walk between San Elijo and Swami’s beach. It was very relaxing with so many things close by. "
