Do not recommend!

Hotel was a dump and in middle of construction. Our room smelled like someone was smoking at open doorway and hotel couldn't fabrezze it enough. Not to mention the police banging on a door at midnight because of a disturbance that requires fire department and ambulance. No security to call as phone in room was disconnected. I should have researched it more but it reminded me of those motels people go to shoot up. How this property is in a good area if Encinitas is crazy.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms have multiple repairs needed, especially in the bathroom. There was mold on the shower putty/grout in a few places and horrible ceiling patch jobs beginning to get dark brown. It is unhealthy and they need professional assistance. Secondly, the walls need insulation. It was a very noisy w patience and I heard the upstairs people all night as if bouncing and pounding on the floor. Third, there is almost no air flow unless an ancient old window a/c is on, which is loud. Fourth, people party near their cars outside and it is noisy. Staff were not helpful and often did not pick up my calls. I paid over $750 for 4 days and it was awful. I do not plan on taking Expedia nor Wyndham Days Inn again.

The only good thing about this hotel is that it is within walking distance to the beach and main 101 strip. Other than that, the pool is green and closed, rooms are dirty and outdated and it feels very unsafe for solo travelers.

This is the worse Days Inn I have ever stayed in. It was a dump. The 1st room they gave me already had a guest in it. The 2nd room was right next to construction my room. Literally pounding on my wall till 6p. The room had exposed light bulb in the bathroom. A power cord with frig,microwave and tv plug into it. The ac cord had a bag over to prevent getting wet. The room stunk real bad. The next day they finally gave me a room upstairs. It was ok but stunk & carpet was gross. The pool was a joke& the breakfast was pkg oatmeal or apple or orange. Embarrassing Do not stay there unless desperate Staff did there best
