The free breakfast and breakfast staff are wonderful, cheerful and helpful. Front desk staff very nice as well. The food was great! The location is next to the 5 freeway and 101 Coast Highway in Encinitas, on Birmingham. Its a 5 minute drive to the beach. Close to all, and central between North County and Sand Diego. Safe and convenient location, clean and comfortable stay.

Cleaning and kitchen staff were superb. The carpet definitely needs shampooing as it smelled very musty. I thought the bed was painfully hard, but hubby thought it was fine. Excellent free hot breakfast. I made the reservation though an online reservation service which stated that “all taxes and fees included in total”. However, upon checking out, we learned that there is a charge of $15/day for parking which is ridiculous as it is just an open air lot with abundant parking!

Just an okay Hampton
We would have given a better rating but… the toilet was literally 12” off the ground!!! they charged an additional $15.00 per day parking which we were not informed of and the property is already overpriced! No indoor pool! The breakfast was okay. The staff was very nice! The location for our needs was good
