Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

I needed a room in the area for one night, mostly just to sleep. I’m fussy about hotels and was worried about a place so reasonably priced, but it had great reviews so I took a chance to avoid wasting money. The room far exceeded expectations. They’ve remodeled and fully modernized everything. Lighted mirrors. Great window shades. Excellent lighting features and super comfortable beds. The room was immaculately cleaned and the furniture was stylish. Mini fridge and microwave and coffee pot. The walls were a little thinner than a luxury hotel but it wasn’t an issue, and was the only reminder that I hadn’t paid a lot for my stay. The bathroom is small but super functional and comfortable. Staff was great. Breakfast average, like most continental breakfasts. I will be back for longer stays!

Google Review (2 Stars): My stay at this hotel was frustrating and disappointing. Upon checking in, I discovered that my showerhead was not working properly. I reported the issue on Saturday, explaining that I had been without a functioning shower head that was upside down and loose and spraying water everywhere-sincerely the previous day when I checked in, which was Friday. Unfortunately, the problem wasn’t addressed until Sunday, midway through the day, meaning I essentially went three days without a proper shower. Despite this major inconvenience, there was no offer of a partial refund or any compensation. Additionally, I stayed in room 116, which was one of the noisiest hotel stays I’ve ever experienced. Being located on the first floor, it was right by the front door and staircase, with constant foot traffic from people going upstairs. On top of that, noise from the rooms above made restful sleep impossible. It was so frustrating that I left a day early, despite having already paid for the full stay. When I inquired about switching rooms, I was told I would have to pay a different rate, with no clear guarantee of what kind of room I would get since I booked through a third-party app. For future guests, I highly recommend requesting a second-floor room on the back side of the hotel, away from the train tracks, as those seem to be the quieter options. While the hotel has undergone some nice upgrades over the years, certain areas still need improvement. Given that it has been family-owned for many years, I was surprised by the lack of attentiveness to these issues. I was assured by an employee that the problem (shower head) would be taken care of, but unfortunately, that was not my experience. On a positive note, it was finally fixed and yet I was not offered any compensation or anything to me. That’s bad business. Across the street from this hotel is the most amazing organic farmers market every Sunday. You can get there in one minute because they’ve constructed a new underpass underneath the railroad tracks which is wonderful.

I would stay here again. Sparkling clean and modern room. I love that I could open the window to enjoy the pacific breeze. A few blocks from the Stone Steps to the beach. Friendly and welcoming staff. I parked right out front!

Such an amazing stay. Clean, quiet, and just a couple minutes walk to the beach and shops. I would have appreciated a couple hangers in the closet but it was a minor inconvenience. Definitely would recommend and will definitely be back if I am in the area.

Great value only blocks to the beach. Stayed here 5 nights while we were remodeling our home nearby. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean and recently updated. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was limited, but the price for the accommodation was overall very reasonable. Would stay here again if we needed a comfortable, friendly, well-managed, conveniently located and reasonable place to stay.

We had been on a road trip for 3 weeks when booking a room at Brisa Pacifica. It was a sweet little beach motel within a reasonable walking distance to the beach. Evacuations from the Palisade fire started the day we arrived. Our room had a pink drywall patch where a repair had been made shortly before we arrived. We had a two night stay where we watched the workers of this motel remodel rooms to have ready for the next night and open their doors to the people who needed it. This was a great stay and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reasonable stay in San Diego Area

I have had the pleasure of staying here several times over the last couple of years, and always look forward to another visit. Staff are unfailingly professional and friendly, and the value is unbeatable. A modest, no frills property with an undeniably chill vibe—and less than a five minute walk to the beach. Highly recommended.

Nice room, comfy bed and only about 2 blocks from the beach. There is a lot of steps to get down to the beach, but if you are healthy there should be no problem. The hotel area is very dog friendly and within walking distance of many restaurants. Easy parking access and $$$ friendly. Had a great stay! Will do it again
