An OK place to stay for the price. (My experience is that this is a reasonably expensive area for mid- and lower-level motels.) Room was clean and recently redecorated. Breakfast (included) was a cut above what places like a Fairfield Inn provide. The motel itself has been around for a while under different flags, but it appears to have been... more

My friend and I stayed in a room with two double beds. It only cost me $79 per night which was much cheaper than most of the other hotels in the area. It was not very modern furnishings but very clean. All the rooms have a refrigerator, microwave, iron and ironing board, and hairdryer. The room rate includes free high... more

I stayed at the Howard Johnson in Encinitas for over a Month in Feb. I have been staying at this hotel for years for work. It is located along the 5 freeway with easy access to all of what San Diego has to offer. Durning the Month of Feb the hotel staff was changed. The new staff at this Hotel... more

We had some personal items stolen out of our room. After informing the front counter, they told us the cleaning staff assumed we were checking out. However, we still had clothes hanging in the closet (which have no doors), so it was obvious we had not checked out. The head of housekeeping told us she'd check the locker room of... more

After reading all the good reviews we decided to stay at the Howard Johnson in Encinitas. We were given a room on the lower floor on the freeway side. We didn't think the freeway noise was going to be a problem, however, during the night we could hear several people partying and yelling around the parking area and our room.... more

Convenient, right off I-5 and reasonable driving to sights. Parking was a huge issue all three nights, small spaces and overflowing with vehicles. People had to park in the red zones. If travelling with pet, no real good area to relive them, please pick up. Did not try the breakfast (our mistake) but what we saw on last day looked... more

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. it was exactly what you'd expect from a motel. the room was fine for 2 nights but i wouldn't want to be there any longer than that. Safety wise i didn't like the fact that our door was on the outside of a building and i found it difficult to sleep at... more

We took a trip to Legoland and I booked this place off reviews from this site and was pleasantly surprised. The location was great you can see it from interstate 5, so it is very convinient from the interstate and only minutes from Legoland and The Carlsbad Outlets, that was a big plus! Minutes from the beach. The only bad... more

I loved this hotel the only problem was the bed. That is a big problem yes but the super hot shower made up for it. The bed was too soft for my back we stayed in room 307 and it was a nice big room with a king bed but man in the morning my back ached both days. I... more
