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).

Less than 15 minutes' walk from Beacon's Beach, Rodeway Inn Encinitas North offers guest rooms with free WiFi. Leucadia Farmers Market is 5 minutes' drive away.

Each spacious guestroom at Rodeway Inn Encinitas North comes with air-conditioning and a cable satellite TV. A microwave and small refrigerator are also included.

The bed was very very comfortable and so were the pillows. I liked the fact the room has carpet. It was clean as was everything in the room. Mini fridge is always good. Staff was accommodating and friendly. I'm quite pleased with my stay here. The heating unit was easy to use and even though it was very cold here the room stayed warm and I hardly used it.

Looking for a motel?

    This motel is in an excellent location. On the beach side of the pacific coast highway. We could easily walk to cafes, shops and the beaches. The staff were very friendly. A small breakfast was available each morning which was a bonus. It was also nice to have a room with a table and chairs to eat around. The swimming pool was a nice extra too. The kids enjoyed using it at the end of the day.

    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!
