Leucadia Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice the only part that sucked was the construction going on and the stove didn’t work"

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

8/10 Good
"The Brisa Pacific Hotel is in an excellent location. It is a five-minute walk to the beach (up El Portal Street and then S. El Portal Street where it branches) and then down the steps from bluff to the beach. Several restaurants are a few minutes walk (we recommend Juanita's Taco Shop), and downtown Encinitas and Moonlight Beach are less than a mile away. Parking is free and easy. The pool was a nice touch but a bit cool and in need of cleaning. Breakfast was continental (no hot food, except toast) but had a good selection. Some items (lamp, desk chair) in our room needed fixed. Wifi worked well, as did the air conditioning, TV, etc."
