Brisa Pacifica Hotel Encinitas, hotel in Encinitas

This Encinitas, California hotel is 2-minute drive to Moonlight State Beach. This hotel features an outdoor pool and refrigerator in each room.

This motel is in an excellent location. On the beach side of the pacific coast highway. We could easily walk to cafes, shops and the beaches. The staff were very friendly. A small breakfast was available each morning which was a bonus. It was also nice to have a room with a table and chairs to eat around. The swimming pool was a nice extra too. The kids enjoyed using it at the end of the day.

    We loved Moonlight Beach and shopping in downtown Encinitas.

    We loved Moonlight Beach and shopping in downtown Encinitas. The lunch places seem to get very crowded, so it's good to go early. Encinitas also has a big beautiful Target, which was very exciting for my daughter who lives in NYC (the Targets there aren't very nice). Driving around was really easy. Encinitas is a fun place to be a tourist, and it doesn't seem too touristy. I wish we had time to try many of the hiking spots nearby, but now we have a reason to come back.

    The lack of customer response is very bad.

    The lack of customer response is very bad. All communication from the hotel has the "no-reply-to" function. It's almost impossible to reach the hotel by email. And the phone costs from international locations a re prohibitive.

    i grew up here, but moved away 49 years ago. the 101 cafe is great for breakfast. the Italian restaurant on first st was amazing from wine to lasagna to chicken marsala to the best tiramisu. once again enjoyed the coast drive (old 101) along the beach.

    I liked the Mexican Restaurant La Especial Norte 644 N. Coast Highway 101. Awesome menu, awesome food, very reasonable compared to the other restaurants in this location. Service excellent. Friendly and professional. I had the Mexican Chicken Soup which was wonderful and the Beef Burrito which was very very large.

    Didn’t like simple fact the manager(Gabriel) Knocked on my door trying to kick me and my family out that consists of a five year old stating something about a 21 max stay that we as guests aren’t allowed to go over but we wasn’t informed nor is it posted in the lobby made it s feel very uncomfortable after that then I was harassed by a guests for two straight days asking me for my card and why am standing by my car immediately let front desk know even provided a picture of the vehicle I wasn’t apologized for it and nothing was done about it then walk out to my car being scratched up I’ve seen so many roaches and spiders in my room it’s insane and they sure didn’t come with us I now clean my room I also pointed out to the head housekeeper about trash that’s been in my room since check in…The young lady that works nights is very nice and very professional

    I think the hotel was in the midst of remodeling.

    I think the hotel was in the midst of remodeling. There were building supplies all over the parking lot and two large containers blocking the parking spaces for guests. We still found parking however. There was trash strewn everywhere and the elevator had no permit displayed and made dreadful creaking noises before finally opening the doors. It sounded like it might break at any minute. The breakfast was good but limited to high sugar cereals, oatmeal packets, yogurt and bagels with butter. There was also some very nice fresh fruit and fruit juices to choose from.

    This hotel was so bad, it was nothing like they advertised. Ocean view, what a joke. We had a view of the Motorway/Highway, and the noise was unbelievable. Their breakfast was nothing like they advertised. The bed was too soft, and their pillows were folded in half and lumpy. I had to open them flat. The towels were so small that you couldn't wrap them around your body, and I'm small. The bathroom door did not close, even asked if they could fix it, but they didn't.

    It is an amazing B&B run by Liz and Carol. It feels like staying at a friend’s house ! It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Leucadia, Encinitas. Breakfast was always delicious and very healthy which we liked a lot. We stayed in the lovely Nantucket suite for 4 nights. It also had a patio with high table and chairs, where we usually sat to enjoy the SoCal morning sunshine and to discuss our plans for the day.

    The hotel rates were reasonable, and the location made the trip more affordable than I thought it would be. There was a grocery store a few doors down which had everything we needed, and several reasonably-priced restaurants that were a short walk away. I love how the Amtrack train comes right through town (although in our room, we couldn't hear it or the traffic on the street, and we were facing the street).

    Location a couple blocks from Moonlight State Beach was great. Encinitas is a charming town and there are lots of cute shops and cafes, The motel had large rooms with a full size refrigerator and freezer, apt sized stove, and was outfitted for cooking. The street is residential and quiet. Parking was super easy. We'll be back when we need a convenient location in North San Diego County.

    There are not many hotels in Encinitas, which is a suburban/beach community. My daughter and her family reside there, but we enjoy some privacy and relaxation time and a hotel offers us a “time-out” from the family. This hotel is well located for us. The breakfast was very good.

    This was my third time staying here and it was solid, as always. Nothing fancy, but it’s safe and relatively clean. It’s within walking distance to cafes, restaurants, and the beach. This is my go-to place in Encinitas due to the location and affordability.

    Were in for the just the night, spent the day at the beach, which is a few minutes drive. The hotel is right off the freeway. Plenty parking. Breakfast included is a must for me, they had the classic continental plenty of coffee and working waffle makers!

    Great location, at walking distance from the beach. Even partial ocean view from my room. Basic but spacious room. Sliding doors opening to the balcony! I hate hotelrooms with windows that can't open; I'm a fresh-air freak :-)
