I guess I got what I paid for but it is a cheap motel that you wouldn't expect in this nice part of San Diego County. It's somewhere I might stayed in my 20s and on a budget. Wyndham name is deceiving so not sure how or why Wyndham associated it name with this motel. Didn't feel too secure here also. Staff were nice enough but place is really a motel in every sense of the word.

    Our third family trip to Encinitas, a charming beach town,...

    Our third family trip to Encinitas, a charming beach town, was a delightful experience. Its quiet and walkable streets made it an ideal destination for a family vacation. We cycled along Neptun Avenue and relaxed on the beach near the Stone Steps. The town boasts a variety of great restaurants and coffee shops. We highly recommend Atelier-Mannana and Leu Leu, but be sure to book in advance! Herb and Sea is another must-try.

    I love everything about Encinitas.

    I love everything about Encinitas. It is one of the spots where you can go and feel like a local even if your not. I have stayed at the 12 Senses Retreat which was super cool with their nature themed rooms and the amazing hostess. And it is just up the road from Swammi's Beach and the Self Relization Center, which is gorgeous. I have stayed at Brisas Pacific Hotel which was super affordable and a few minutes walk to the beach. You can pretty much walk everywhere in Encinitas. I plan to move there myself soon :)

    Charming surf town.

    Charming surf town. We enjoyed walking the beach, watching the local surfers and the sunset from the bluffs. Plenty of shopping and restaurants all within walking distance. Bigger box type stores for groceries, etc within about a 10 minute drive. Traffic was not bad. We visited San Diego Botanical Garden and highly recommend.

    I grew up in north county and Encinitas was a regular stomping ground. Great restaurants and shopping and it offers a train stop that will get you to/from union station in San Diego where you can catch an Uber or bus to the airport while enjoying breathtaking views!

    Unfortunately, we had a very busy wedding weekend and didn't have much time for learning more about the city of Encinitas. We enjoyed the places we visited (Encinitas Cafe for breakfast and the Solterra Winery for the rehearsal dinner). Food and ambiance was great. Would love to go back and enjoy more of the city.

    The room was nice and clean. The size of room was good for our family of 4. The hotel had laundry facilities which was helpful since we were on a longer vacation. The breakfast was fine but they should have got some variety on different days. We got bored eating the same breakfast everyday. It wasn't far from the beach and was 7 to 8 minutes drive to the beach

    Location is awesome, walking distance to encinitas downtown, surfing spots and leucadia farmers market. Front desk guys were amazing (shout out to Todd and Mark, whom besides the sympathy, were always available). Cleaning team as well. The kitchen is pretty full of equipment needed to prepare meals. High pressure shower makes the stay even more confortable.
