Great location and views. Property is very nice and the rooftop patio is spectacular. Should be noted that there is no elevator so not great for lots of luggage or mobility issues.

LIKED...Bob hotel manager, killer water view on rooftop garden, close to downtown cardiff and beach, lovely recent renovation, continental breakfast, nice bed...DISLIKED ...pricey for a 3 star bed and breakfast, loud wedding party right above our room, no elevator. Would stay here again tho due to super location and convenience factor as we have family in the neighborhood.

Our Stay
Beautiful Place, Amazing View, Clean, and Amazing customer service. On our first night we couldn't get much sleep due to the crowd next door. We were hoping it would die down but it got louder into the night and didn't quiet down tell after 2:30am. The second night was much quieter.

They did an amazing job creating such a nice place. Pro: Roof top, Prosecco when we arrived, muffin & healthy juice in the morning, decoration in the room, record player, walk to beach. However, we were sad we got 1st floor room, very dark room with only one window facing corridor. If we open the curtain, there is no privacy. So we had to close it but it’s so dark. I would suggest to add more lighting in these room. And it had old motel type of smell even though the room is very clean. It’s pity because they did amazing job everything else to elevate your stay. Receptionist lady was super nice. Still recommend this pace but get upstairs room ;)

Hidden gem! Clean, quiet, tastefully decorated rooms. The upper deck is awesome. Only complaint is we only stayed one night and didn't get to enjoy it enough. We'll be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Cardiff by the Sea Lodge. The recently upgraded property is beautiful and clean. Our king bedroom had pretty decor and even though we were on the first floor near the lobby, it was quiet. The bathroom cabinetry had intricate wood carvings, the shower had decorative tile and we had nice, hot showers. We liked the comfortable bathrobes, and having a record player in the room was a nice novelty. We also liked that we could walk to the beach, restaurants and a coffee shop nearby. The best part was the rooftop area. We enjoyed beautiful views of the ocean! Also, they delivered complimentary juice and muffins to our room in the morning. Check out our travel video on our YouTube channel: @SweetlifeofSisters or click the link: https://youtu.be/i_uvHU8RBHY?si=rEK0l5S6aM83_b5G We would definitely stay here again!

Very good location three blocks walkable to the beach. Relatively quiet at night considering the location is right next to a bar and over an alleyway in back. Rooms are comfortable but minimalist only one chair with cushion in the room. Basic breakfast, two Costco muffins and watermelon juice. Staff was available but not friendly did not greet you first did not ask how things were going, were not able to offer suggestions for restaurants ornearby activities. Housekeeping staff Adriana was very helpful

Best hotel in the area by far!
I’ve stayed in many hotels in the Del Mar to Encinitas stretch of coast and this was the best! From the smiling welcome, the complimentary Prosecco, the large, newly decorated lovely room and all the other nice touches, this was an outstanding stay. Great location too. Will definitely return.
