Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good
"There are no coffee pots or microwaves in the rooms. The automatic bathroom light is annoying in the middle of the night. There should be a way to turn it off. A fan runs all of the time in the bathroom. The room was nicely remodeled and very clean. The lobby is being remodeled so breakfast is pretty on existent."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Leucadia Beach Inn! The location was fantastic, close to the beach and all the great spots in the area. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and our room was the perfect little space for our stay. Having a kitchenette was such a great bonus and made everything feel that much more convenient.
