Great location and stay!
We had a great experience staying at the Encinitan for a wedding. Its location was great; we were able to enjoy an entire car-free weekend because everything within the town was within walking distance from the hotel (~10-20 min depending on where you're going). It's also a short (albeit uphill) walk from the train station where the Coaster stops. The rooms were clean, floors looked new (and no carpet!), and the staff were incredibly friendly. The breakfast was not impressive, but you're so close to restaurants and cafes that it wasn't a big deal. My biggest feedback for the hotel is I hope they install water refill stations for guests, and it would also be really nice to have a pedestrian-friendly entrance on the side closest to town, especially considering the prime location. Right now there is just a dirt path, or you have to walk up the steep roadway (no sidewalk).

My family and I checked in close to 10 pm. Ana checked us in. She was very kind and helpful. We loved how spacious and clean our room was. The patio was also very spacious and clean. The kitchenette is a life saver for a big family like mine and for a longer stay. Loved the amount of parking and the accessibility. Andrew at the front desk was very helpful on several occasions. We declined housekeeping services our entire stay because I know how hard the housekeeping staff works. I would take my trash out everyday and ask for towels and toilet paper. The housekeeping staff was very nice. The breakfast was good and the attendant there was very polite and attentive. The pool, jacuzzi and gym were awesome too. My children and I enjoyed those areas. Love that we were so close to the beach. My only concern was the full charge of the entire stay at check in. When you book through Expedia you usually get charged for the entire stay at check out and they authorize your card for 1 nt. Rm &tx. That was the only inconvenience and hope they change that policy.
