The pool was open, though construction trailers surrounding the area did seem inviting. The room itself had been totally renovated but the building and the office left a lot to be desired. Staff was friendly. Right across the street there is a selection of eateries and shops. Easy walk to to down nightlife and more restaurants and shops. The beach is also an easy walk.

Great staff. Great location. Rooms are being re-modelled. But those that are open are in v good shape. Clean, quiet, comfortable. Shopping right across the street with a great Lazy Acres, laundromat, Serranos ... a terrific and inexpensive Mexican restaurant (huge portions). Price is right for Encinitas.
