月光海灘汽車旅館的評論

Great location! This is our second visit there. Spacious room with 1 king and 1 queen. Stayed on 3rd floor with great view of the ocean. Had everything we needed. Microwave and mini frig., great a/c, beds very comfy. I don’t have a negative thing to say about the place. We look forward to our next visit.

Moonlight Beach Hotel was a pleasant surprise. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the rooms are renovated and quite nice, comfortable and clean. The third floor room we stayed in was very spacious and had a view of the ocean. It is a short walk to Moonlight Beach and all the restaurants, cafes and shops you could ask for. Just an excellent location and great overall experience.

We needed a kitchenette, so our only choice was one of the rooms that face onto the courtyard. We chose the room at the south end for maximum peacefulness, and even though MBM has a policy that you cannot request a specific room, it worked out that that was what we got. We love the Moonlight Beach Motel, and we have been staying there since the late 1980s. Although all the rooms were recently modernized, the place has not really lost any of its original charm. We normally eat 3 meals a day there, and the one thing I don't like is that the chairs that you have to use with the big table inside are in fact awkward swivel-style office chairs rather than normal dining chairs. The current staff all seem very nice and helpful. During this visit I bought the motel two more hummingbird feeders, for a current total of three, having bought them the first one last year. I trust they currently have all three feeders up and running now? In the old days MBM had three feeders and I always felt that seeing lots of hummingbirds was one facet of the appeal of the place.

Expectations were low for the room as I knew I was paying a premium for a room during the Holiday Weekend. But I was pleasantly surprised. The room I rented on the 2nd floor did not require use of the HVAC; there was a nice cool ocean breeze from the balcony. Room seems recently renovated and modern and having the Mini-Fridge, Microwave and the patio table, umbrella and chairs were a nice touch. Jennifer (at check-in) and Patrick (at check-out) were cordial and welcoming. I would come back again . TIP: Good ice cream and coffee shop across the alley from the hotel (less than 100 feet) and a nice Asian Fusion restaurant across 2nd St. (CHIKO) I would like to come back here someday. Perfect place, great area! Less than 3 blocks from Downtown Encinitas (starts from 2nd / D Street) at Encinitas Sign

Amazing location, 3 - 4 minute walk to moonlight beach. Nice big rooms with fridge and microwave. Coffee maker in the room. Very friendly front desk staff. Nice ice cream and sweet shop within walking distance. Will definitely stay here next visit.

Fantastic DeLuxe room with 2 beds ”King size”. Very fresh and clean. Sea view but not beach front. Wi-Fi worked good. All equipment as well. Welcoming and helpful personel at reception. Not 24 hour service but no help needed as everything worked perfect. I really recommend this motel with less than 5 minute walk to the beach and a lot of restaurants within 10 minutes walk. Worth its price!

This motel is an amazing location but poorly run overpriced and understaffed It a shame really. The renovations are corporate and sterile, it’s a beach hotel but decorated like a doubletree The ocean facing rooms are noisy and over lit. My room didn’t have toilet paper. The front office doesn’t answer phone or email. Let’s hope this motel gets bought by new owners that care about hospitality.

There are many things to like about the Moonlight. the location is excellent and it is only a short walk to either the beach or loads of restaurants, ice cream parlors, etc. The room is large. Our room easily fit two king size beds. Second floor and above rooms have a view of the ocean. A complimentary towel and sunscreen was waiting on the bed. Beach chairs, etc are available for free. Things that could have been better include, no kitchen or utensils in our room, lack of explicit directions that one has to ask for new towels or toilet paper, the staff did not answer our calls or return the message we left and of course the price is high but this is Encinitas in the summer. The plusses far outweigh the minuses and we would gladly stay here again. It would be nice if the management added safes in the room to store wallets and electronics while visiting the beach

The Motel has undergone a significant remodel and the room we had was really nicely appointed. The bathroom was new, clean, modern and spacious. The Beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows were big, firm and not pancake like. But the kitchen... New everything! Fridge, oven, stove, microwave and coffee maker were awesome and we used them all. We even had a dishwasher and garbage disposal in the sink. Really well done you guys. We like to buy our own healthy groceries and cook all three meals at home. You made it fun and easy. The room we occupied is ground floor, however it does have one of the best views of the ocean at Moonlight Beach. We loved going out to the patio area, grilling up our swordfish steaks on one of the two gas grills available and having fantastic dinners with that view in the background. By way of areas to improve... we have just a few. The beds did not have heavy blankets or quilts but only one relatively thin cover blanket. We visited in mid February and the evenings were brisk. The window (glass or plexyglass), from the room out overseeing the ocean view was scuffed and scratched diminishing the view somewhat. We were hoping that management could switch the windows with a room not having our view- but time was not on our side. Lastly, all the above issues were addressed by Jennifer, the clerk who checked us in. She was magnificent. She went and got us a cutting board, a can opener, paper towels and a real bed comforter. She is a doll and the management has a real asset in Jennifer. Loved it- we'll be back. (This is our third visit).

I wanted a short staycation and chose this motel based on reviews. I grew up in the area and was amazed at how it has changed, but in ways that made MBM even more desireable--it was literally walkable to multiple coffee shops, bars and restaurants--and a highly rated ice cream shop. A short walk to the main beach (although when I was there i found the beach covered in stones at the tide line, so not so great for a beach walk. In these days of pandemic, it was very reassuring to find the room spotless. My partial oceanview 2nd story balcony afforded a very nice view of the ocean and a comfortable table and chair to enjoy it on. The only things I noticed were a lack of usb ports and a clock. In this day of technology, most of us carry charging cords and USB hubs. There were plenty of electrical outlets and the WIFI was strong--I was able to play my video game with no lag.

Rooms have been refurbished. They are clean and the beds are comfortable. To date, there is no maid service, just towel exchange. There is no on-site manager at night. Upper floor rooms all have a balcony. BBQs and table seating are available in the patio area.

I arrived 10 mins early for my 3 o'clock check-in, and even though Jennifer was doing double-duty by working the front desk, and checking last minute details on the rooms, she greeted me with a smile and welcomed me to the motel. She was friendly, efficient and very personable. The King room, turned out to be far more spacious than I expected, with 2 King beds, a writing desk for two people, with two comfy lounge chairs, a great balcony with the promised partial ocean view, and a patio table & two chairs with an umbrella. The bathroom and bed linens were spotless and everything smelled clean & fresh...something that is very important during Covid! This motel is quaint and welcoming, and it's a great little gem.The location is super close to the beach, and there are countless restaurants within walking distance. All in all, a great visit!
