Top Cardiff State Beach Hotel Reviews

Moonlight Beach Motel

Moonlight Beach Motel

8/10 Good
"The location was very close to Moonlight Beach, which was a lovely beach for families. It is very hilly there and there are very few accessible beaches in Encinitas so the location was great for accessibility. It’s an older hotel but they have tried to do a good job of keeping it up-to-date. We had a lovely view of the ocean, which was nice and a nice deck to sit on. Staff was very helpful."

10/10 Excellent
"What a great find! We needed just an overnight stay because we were going to a concert in Solana Beach. This hotel is in a great location. About a mile south is downtown Del Mar with so many food choices. About a mile north is Solana beach and everything that town has to offer. I am not into horse racing but the race track is right across the street! Aside from being conveniently located, the property is very well maintained - very clean and inviting. Our room was larger than expected and also very clean. We will definitely stay here again for a quick Del Mar weekend."

"I love this place. I’ve been there about 5 times now. Get the salsa at Just Peachy nearby. It’s basic but has everything you need. French Corner is amazing. It’s my retreat from Vegas."
