Easy to book friendly front desk clerk. Very run down, dirty, the toilet wouldn’t flush properly and the tub wouldn’t drain

Free breakfast wasn’t much. Only coffee, juice, oatmeal packets, green apple! Used to have frozen breakfast sandwich and granola bars!
The shower knob was so tight and couldn’t get the water from dripping after use!
No facial tissues in the bathroom.

Affordable
It was great for what I needed. A place to sleep and shower. Can’t complain about affordable and everyone was nice. This isn’t 5 start but that’s not what I was going for.

Wishing for Better Accommodations
Got into bed and noticed sheet had a small spot of black crusty stuff on it. My husband took a shower and tub wouldn’t drain or he could not shut off faucet so called front desk at 7:00 in morning. I asked them to change sheets and fix shower. We got back around 2:30 and neither was done. Need to be updated. We left and didn’t stay second night we paid for.

Cold night and no promised breakfast.
I stayed here only because of the offered breakfast. It "wasn't delivered" that day and no options to offset costs at a nearby restaurant. The heater either didn't work or took too long but the lack of any additional sheets or blankets made it a long cold night. I wasn't expecting a Hilton but this is Encinitas and they won't be seeing me here again.

would not stay here again!
The front desk staff was nice, but gave me a smoking room at first. Then I switched rooms and my window would not lock. Concerning for a solo female traveler. The bathroom and tub was dirty. No coffee in morning

You get what you pay for
For the price and location, not a terrible deal. However lobby area was run down and did not provide coffee or breakfast the majority of the days I stayed there. Bathroom faucet had rust and corrosion and carpet definitely did not seem sanitary. Would stay here again only if I had no alternative options.
