Days Inn Moonlight Beach Legoland, Encinitas

like : I was able to sleep if I used the roll away and pulled it right up to the tiny air conditioner that hardly works ... don't go on a hot day dislike: I usually don't complain , I'll even stay at a motel 6 to be here but for 120 bucks the air should work , there should be room for everyone , the pool is smaller than my brother's little kiddy pool , the lady at the desk could not have been more unfriendly ; every time we went to get food , we would have to park out in front instead of by our room , stairs , stairs , stairs , and I guess if you like to walk by a constant traffic jam , the walk to the beach was not so far .. but we went to torry pines any way, the breakfast is just sugar and white bread , no tea , and most of the time all the rooms were filled with immigrants chain smoking 24 hours a day. I could not get a refund , I am not a happy camper this year and will never use this chain again .... ever . NOT for 120 bucks , i don't care what the location is , you don't treat people like that

This is a GREAT bang for your buck. At the price we paid (70 bucks a night) we we're not expecting much. We we're suprised at how clean and fresh the hotel was. AMAZING location, 5-10 mins (walking) to the beach and great restaurants. We visted 2 summers ago, are planning to go again this summer, and going to suggest our wedding guests stay there next summer. If you're looking for an affordable weekend get-away and don't need room service, this is the place!!

Near freeway exit; pleasant staff; continental breakfast; guest laundry & snack vending machines; cable TV; swimming pool; a Denny's right next door & 3 or 4 other eateries in the small shopping plaza which is a short walk across the road. If available, I recommend a room at the back of the building, on the top floor and near the elevator to avoid stairs and/or a long walk around the perimeter balcony & potential noise from overhead guests and the passing automotive traffic and to enjoy a better view (the wooded hillside) from your room's window.

I reserved rooms from Days Inn for my wedding guests two years ago and none of them were impressed. My husband stayed there for one night getting prepared himself and said the bugs were everywhere flying in his room.

WE STAYED AT THIS HOTEL SINCE ITS RIGHT OFF THE I-5 AND 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM RESTAURANT AND BEACH. FRONT DESK GIRL REALLY FRIENDLY & PRETTY :) SHE REALLY HELPED US OUT W/ DIRECTIONS TO A WEDDING SHE EVEN PRINT THEM OUT FOR US. THEY HAVE A PRETTY DECENT CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST I REALLY LOVED THEIR ONION BAGELS AND THEIR CRANBERRY JUICE. ITS A NICE HOTEL FOR THE RATE I PAID FOR THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THE $1.50 SAFE CHARGE SINCE WE DIDN'T NEED THE SAFE WE HAD JUST GONE FOR A WEDDING PARTY. JUST MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR A QUIET ROOM ON 3RD FLOOR AND AWAY FROM FREEWAY

I had stayed for a family trip at this Inn and had the most horrifying experience. I had disgusting blankets and asked for a change in blankets for that evening. I did get a customer service rep stating that this would be taken care of. We had discovered when we had returned that evening there was no change in blankets (disgusting stains) they were still soiled. On that affect I had called the front desk and received a lady that had a horrible attitude and hung up on me. I further had gon up to the desk and asked to speak to management immediatley. No response for that matter and outlandish behavior from the lady behind the counter. For my family staying at this place with ill mannered employees, disgusting and unkempt property I had to leave the premises that night. I do not refer any one to stay at this god forbidden location. They give an awful name to the hotel and travel industry.

The rooms were clean and well lit, and just big enough. The staff was nice. There were plenty of towels, washcloths, etc. The breakfast was meager, but fresh. The rain poured off the roof onto the stairwell and parking area, but if its not raining, you'll be fine. The area was nothing spectacular -- not many restaurants or shopping right around the hotel -- but the beach was nearby and freeway access is easy. All in all, our stay was just fine.
