Top Eli Howard Surf School Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good
"The staff were very nice and accommodating. The room was clean. I love that there was a bathtub and the towels were fresh and fluffy. The bed was super comfortable and I enjoyed using the desk so that I could do my schoolwork. What I didn’t like is that there was no microwave, being a deluxe queen and all. I did like and enjoy that they had coffee and treats for the morning, so that was good. The coffee was delicious."
