The room was very nice as was the staff. I loved the roof top seating areas. We brought our wine to watch the sunset. Lovely. They have a record player in the room and you can use albums from the lobby. Bring your own if you have them. 😀 They offer a nice healthy breakfast that you can take with you to the room or up to the roof. Great spot to walk to local restaurants. We had a drink at the Shanty right next to the lodge. Drinks were good and a fun place to hang out for a bit.

Great location, we walked along the beach to Encinitas each day. Room was amazing, gorgeous view of the ocean. Bed was comfortable. Ample free street parking, incredible staff and perfect continental breakfasts.
