Top Encinitas Hotel Reviews

Leucadia Beach Inn

Leucadia Beach Inn

8/10 Good
"We love how we were treated and greeted. However the big hole in the shower wall where the curtain is attached wasn’t good. There’s a tile missing by the small fridge with what appears to be a little moldy and the toilet would clog twice a day. We will comeback of course just a few things to tidy up."
