It was probably really nice when it was new but at this point the property definitely needs some heavy maintenance. The furniture in the room looked too dirty to sit on, there were missing trim pieces and the tub drained too slowly. But, it is close to the beach and a short drive to Legoland or the race track at... more

We just got back from 5 days in Encinitas. I booked this hotel because I had business in Carlsbad and also wanted to take my children to see the San Diego sights. From the Best Western web site pictures, it looks like this hotel is on the beach, but it's really about a mile away, on the east side of... more

We stayed at this hotel with 2 children while visiting relatives. It was a convenient location for our visit and we had an ok stay. Most aspects of the hotel were average. Room cleanliness and state of dis-repair was a little less than desirable. Internet wireless also did not work from the room I was in - had to walk... more

We paid an extra ten dollars to upgrade to an ocean view room -- getting a very large room with a nice view and a very room balcony. (it was worth... more

Our family stayed at the Best Western Moonlight Beach Hotel the week of August 20, 2006 and absolutely loved it! The beds were so comfortable and we even had a view of the ocean. The balcony and room are very large and nicely decorated. We had another reservation mid-week at Old Town Inn in San Diego (which is highly rated... more
