Amazing place. Clean, roomy and wonderful bed. I liked the strong water pressure in the shower. Had a balcony with view of the ocean/beach. One block from the beach. Cafes and restaurants within a block. Shopping all within walking distance. Will stay here again when visiting Encinitas and San Diego area.
