Econo Lodge Encinitas Moonlight Beach

Made a reservation to stay here based on the man I spoke with saying it’s $ 25 per night for pets. Then we called that day to confirm that we are coming and the woman said it’s $ 25 PER PET PER NIGHT. What? So if you have two dogs, they will reem you. An extra $ 50 a night just to have my guys with me is ridiculous. So we stayed at La Quinta where they kindly charge nada for pets. Now that’s pet friendly. Pet greedy is a whole other story.

Decent place for the price. It’s very noisy! There’s some annoying noise that is constant coming from close by, inside the hotel! Had to wear ear plugs to sleep! I chose this place because it was not by freeway so it would be quiet! Ha! Otherwise it’s very clean and minimal. Apparently there is a continental breakfast but when I checked in the man at the desk did not mention anything and there was no printed info in the room. There was a nice flat screen tv but no channel guide. Went thru all channels and couldn’t find anything to watch! Gave up! Probably would go elsewhere next time!

I am hesitant to share hidden secrets, but. I feel like I have to! This hotel is a gem ! It is clean, it is quiet and in s very safe location. The young lady at the desk was delightful and the breakfast was just fine… The PRICE Was s blessing. Made it possible to shop and enjoy good dinner out. Only note to be aware of. Train track across the street that stop st 11pm

Booked online, came to check in and rooms weren’t ready, not willing to refund or give me a good deal on another night stay. Not happy with the experience so far. At least I can sit at the beach and wait for the carpets to be done

We were very fortunate to book the last room they had available for the very same night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. To our delight, the room was extremely clean and comfortable, and there was no odor like you get with so many other hotels. They even had a «clean remote», which is something I’ve never seen before, but was much appreciated! Napur ensured us when we check in that we would get a good night’s sleep there, and we got just that. My only regret is that we didn’t spend more time in our comfy room! We literally checked in, went to sleep, and checked out. Still, it was one of the best experiences we’ve had staying in a hotel. I highly recommend the this place!

Was glad a friend recommended this place for me. I needed to stay in a hotel for a few days before my lease was active.
The rooms are nice, I had a King bed which was very comfortable. The TV, lighting and bathrooms are all modern. The AC Unit is nice too.
Microwave, refrigerator and coffee in your room.
No closet, but an area to hang clothes (about 10 hangers provided) and an area to store your suit case.
Plenty of drawers and dressers to place your possessions.
No room service but the complementary breakfast in the morning is well worth it.
The service was great over all and I would recommend this to others!
Not to mention, it’s a block from the beach!

My third stay here and what a well run motel. The rooms I have stayed in were all well appointed, much more than a two star, and very clean. The breakfast items they have are enough to get you day started. I found the place to be quiet, the staff friendly and helpful. The in room coffee set up is just perfect for afternoon coffee. The free wifi works great and I was able to take care of much of my business without any interruption. The location is perfect for walking to restaurants. I will stay here again when I’m in the area.

A great little place right on the main drag. They offer a light continental breakfast daily. Rooms are clean and comfy with a small kitchenette consisting of a microwave and a fridge and a sink. All you need to spend a weekend and store/​cook leftovers from your restaurant visits! :)
Price for us was around $ 70 per night. I would definitely return.

This is a great place, nicely appointed for the room rate and location. HOWEVER, THE BEDS ARE PATHETIC! Have been here 4 times in the last several months, each time kicking ourselves that we kept hoping their had been so many complaints that they had replaced spring beds that pop every time we change positions! We wanna love this place, but wont be back due to aching backs the next day!

For the price you can’t beat this place. The staff were very nice. The room was clean and updated with granite counter tops. Location was excellent. A walk to the beach and breakfast. Fridge, microwave and coffee maker with coffee. Pool is clean. Bring your bikes! This is cycle and surfboard heaven. Local were very nice. We hit the farmers market. Funny, they don’t start until 10 am. Totally a west coast thing. We will return and stay there again.

Ok place, but don’t expect to check in on time and you’re screwed if you come early. It takes them over 3 hours to clean an empty room. I think they have grandma cleaning for them. Rooms need a makeover unless they are waiting for these pictures on the wall to become antiques. Good location and clean though. Grandma does get the cleaning done 4 hours later…

This hotel has a nice staff. The breakfast is very light but free offering coffee, boxed juice, oatmeal, boxed cereal, granola bars. The room was clean with nice flatscreen TV and great channels such as Disney for the kids. The location was good as well near freeway & we literally walked 5mins to get to the beautiful beach! Good stay for the 2 days we were there.

Rooms are clean and location is perfect just blocks from the beach.

The staff is extremely nice and the rooms are more than adequate, clean, fridge, microwave, fan in the bathroom :) Location is close to the beach and restaurants. Price was great too.

This hotel was totally unaccommodating as far as a later check out or half day prepay. We were traveling with a young child and a small dog and they were totally not flexible to accommodate our needs. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone nor would I choose to stay here again. Any good hotel always tries to accommodate their customers and this one could care less. Very disappointing.

Only after we checked in did we realize this place has been flagged for bed bugs. I spent the entire weekend freaking out and worried about them. The place was dirty and dingy. The vent in the bathroom was hanging from the ceiling and swayed every time you turned the light on.
On the second night our key didn’t work. It was midnight, and no one at the front desk. I rang the bell, and some poor young Indian girl came stumbling out — clearly she was sleeping. What bothers me, is that she never once asked me to prove who I was. Just what room was I in, and there was a new key. VERY unsafe.
The breakfast was simple and quick, but over very quickly too. Maybe was out for an hour.
The POOL IS A SCAM! Don’t believe the pictures you see on their website. It looks nice, but in reality it is right next to the road and maybe 5′ long LOL. And they are serious about no smoking — you have to go out behind the pool to where they have a pool chair and an ashtray — that is their «smoking lounge».
For a quick stay I’d say the prices were way higher than what it should be.
I will never stay here again.

I love this place! I tried to check into a Motel 6 in Carlsbad and no one was there to check me in. It was late night too! Luckily they still had 1 room left and they immediately took us. The staff is very friendly, polite, and helpful. The clerk offered a snack to me for my daughter. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I’ve stayed here twice– once over the holidays (¹²⁄₁₁) and once this past weekend. First time was great. Remodeled rooms and we had the king size bed room on the first floor that looked out at a quiet street. Very friendly staff.
Second time, broke out in welts everywhere. I’m pretty familiar with bedbugs from years ago so that was my first thought. Sure enough went to
and it had been flagged. Such a disappointment b/​c this place really has potential. But the amount of pain I’m in from the welts is pretty bad…

Very sweet Indian fam runs the place. For the price, accommodations are really nice. Upgraded TVs and bathrooms. Seems like a lot of pride of ownership.

Nice people, close to beach, clean room. Good value.
