My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days and stay close to the beach. We chose the Moonlight Beach Motel based on the reviews. PROS: Excellent location!!! Within a few minutes walk of Moonlight Beach, probably one of the nicest beach areas on the North San Diego Coast. Also within easy walking distance of many shops and restaurants, as well as the train station. We actually took a day trip by the Coaster to Old Town San Diego. Our room was recently renovated, very spacious and clean. It actually had two king beds, a first for me, and they were comfortable. We were on the 2nd floor and had a nice partial view of the ocean and beach from our balcony. The shower had nice pressure and hot water. The TV was new and the WiFi worked fine. There is a small fridge inside one of the dressers. It was very quiet while we were there. There are BBQ grills outside facing the beach that we didn't use. There is plenty of parking. CONS: The outside of the motel is average looking, not a big deal. The office is very small and located within the property. They provide coffee and packaged Danishes but no continental breakfast, also not a big deal. We were told that there is no early check-in, and emailed as well. We did arrive two hours early and did double check this policy, and the front desk clerk confirmed. If the room is ready, I don't know why one can't check in early. Though the rooms were newly renovated, they seemed unfinished. Our bathroom did not have baseboards or a shelf in the shower for shampoo, soap, and other accessories. There was no shelf in the closet. There was an iron and board, but no hairdryer. My understanding is that there is no ice machine or laundry room, though that did not matter to us. Housekeeping was an issue. We stayed two nights. After our first night, we left in the morning and did not return until about 3 pm. The room had not been cleaned. About 20 minutes later there was a knock on the door and it was the housekeeper. She asked us if we needed anything. I said more towels and to have the bathroom cleaned. We could make our own bed. She took away the old towels and provided new ones, and that was it. A quick inspection revealed that she had not cleaned the sink or toilet, or emptied the trash. I wonder what she would have done if we were not in the room. I had read a review that said some of the housekeepers did a great job and others tried to get away with the bare minimum. We experienced the latter. We did enjoy our trip to Encinitas and our stay at the Moonlight Beach Motel. The location can't be beat and the price, at least for this time of year, was reasonable. Expect clean, spacious, no-frills accommodations and if your room is on the 2nd or 3rd floor enjoy the ocean views. Should we decide to return to Encinitas for a vacation we would stay here again.

The surrounding environment is better, quieter, facilities, cleanliness, etc. are in line with the needs. Struggling from Legoland

I had an Airbnb booked and the day before I was supposed to arrive they canceled on me because of flood damage. This was the day before Easter Sunday and needed to be in Encinitas. I called around and either everything was sold out or they were Price gouging. I came across the Lucadia Beach Inn and right away the gentleman on the phone was extremely nice. Ive passed this hotel a few times while I lived in Carlsbad and from the outside it looked very clean. I told the gentleman that I do have a small dog and he said we charge a pet fee which is understandable. When we got there we were greeted politely and the manager said that my dog cannot be left unattended. I completely understood their policy. The room is very clean but you are right on the highway so you do hear a lot of the noise from the cars, and people walking by. The train tracks are right there as well. We spent two nights there and I will definitely stay there again. Highly recommend it. Next time though I will ask for a room away from the street. Thank you for an excellent stay!

My wife and I like Marriot properties, and have stayed at several. We recently joined the Bonvoy club. This hotel is our least favorite. We came to San Diego for a wedding in Vista, about 25 minutes away. I booked this hotel on brand reputation. I should have read the reviews. Lesson learned. The property is in a business area, close to the local airport. It looks OK from the outside, nothing special. They allowed us to check in early, which we appreciated. The young woman at the front desk was friendly and pleasant. She asked us if we wanted a balcony. We liked that. We were on the 2nd floor. Lo and behold, we quickly found out that, starting on the 3rd floor, and seemingly right above us, they are starting a renovation. For the 1.5 hours before we left for the wedding, we were treated to jackhammering and drilling. I had a headache and this did not help. My wife wanted to take a nap. Not happening. Called the front desk and asked to be moved. No can do. The clerk apologized and offered us extra points and a free breakfast (did I mention that there is no complimentary food, just a Starbucks type establishment called the Bistro?) but the breakfast reviews were not good so we passed. The rest of the night was uneventful. AC was good, bed was comfortable, shower was fine. Furniture is outdated and worn, hence the renovation. The next morning, now Sunday, construction commenced again at 8:30. In addition, we received a bulletin telling us that the water would be turned off from 11 am to 3 pm. We were extremely disappointed, being unable to enjoy a nice, quiet room. Upon check-out(early, of course), my wife mentioned our dissatisfaction to the front desk clerk, a nice young man named Abdias that identified himself as a manager. He was gracious enough to take $100 off the cost of the room, which we appreciated. Still, my recommendation is to avoid this hotel for now. They are just getting started on the renovation, starting with the top floor and working their way down. It will be awhile before it is finished.

The lobby was nice, breakfast was good. Great because it’s very close to the flower field. There’s a pretty good local brewing company nearby. However, the room and the design was much older than I thought, too much carpet, not modern and nice-looking enough, and the view of the patio was bad, maybe because the room was on the first floor.

Rooms were nice and clean and we had a beautiful view of the lake. The beds are comfortable however my sleep was disrupted due to noisy pipes that we could hear whenever other rooms used their showers or sinks. Staff was friendly, prompt and helpful. The restaurant Amalfi was delicious and I also appreciated the complimentary drinks you get at check in and s’mores kit that is provided in your room.

If you want to go to Lego, the hotel location is very good, you can go directly to Lego's back door, and the hotel has a special LEGO front desk, she gave me two tickets, meaning that adults buy an adult ticket, children are free, we are just It is a family of four, it took more than 260 knives, bought two adult tickets, including the aquarium! The poolside environment is very good, the night pool is warm water, children are very happy!

The breakfast is great, Omelette is made on the spot, and there are muffins, muffins, yogurt, and bagels! The room is big, clean and comfortable! There is a self-service laundry on the second floor, and free coffee is available in the lobby on the first floor! Lots of free parking spaces!
