Surfhouse is a motel located in Encinitas. This motel offers a shared lounge. Certain units at the property include a terrace with a city view.

At the motel every room is fitted with a desk, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. Every room is equipped with air conditioning, and certain rooms at Surfhouse have a balcony. At the accommodation, rooms come with a seating area.

Encinitas with its artistic flavor and surfer atmosphere, close to the beach is an attractive place to be. Surfhouse room is well equipped with cool decoration and details. Having the choice to pick a room with four single beds in one room is rare and for the kids of a family (or friends) certainly a plus. A parking spot in front of the room is great. The offer of beach cruiser bikes for free on availability basis is also a very nice idea (improvement proposal: a quick release skewer to adjust the saddle height would be great - or an Allen key near the bike storage to adjust the height).

Facing the Pacific Ocean in Del Mar California, this beachfront motel offers guest parking, a picnic area and use of beach amenities. Each guest room includes a 60-inch cable TV. The Del Mar Fairgrounds are 7 minutes’ drive away.

Well in Europe when you see 2 stars hotel you don't have high expectations. But in this case we felt here better than in the 5 stars hotel we were staying in Las Vegas. I am not an often traveler to US and have chosen very carefully the location and it was top. Next to the ocean, were I could jog in the morning and walk in the evenings, safe and with one of the best restaurants in the San Diego area. The room was like new and very comfortable, equipped with everything we needed including complimentary expresso in our room. The service was outstanding and every morning we used the expresso machine at the reception - again free of charge and there were good options for a lights breakfast, for a very reasonable price. Staff was very polite and helpful. Yes there is a train passing nearby, but it was not noisy at nights. Free parking at the property was very comfortable also.

    The motel was great value for money and the location was super central. Probably the best value for a motel in this price range. Ended up also extending my stay a couple of nights and came back through town the following week and chose to stay here again. Would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a no frills but good quality motel.

    This motel was well-located, within walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, the beach, the Sunday market. Nice to have coffee and pastries available in the morning.

    We love vintage motels, and the one is one of the we’ve visited. Our room had a kitchenette which made for easy breakfasts and snacks. It’s in a great location, we had a great time strolling the shops along PCH. The folks in the office were friendly and helpful. Clean and comfy. Loved it!
