What guests think
Leucadia Beach Inn is a charming, budget-friendly motor-inn with very clean rooms and in-room kitchenettes, set in a walkable spot near the beach, shops and cafes, though nearby train traffic, small bathrooms, and tight parking are common trade-offs.
Many guests praise the friendly, hands-on managers and smooth check-in, including helpful after-hours arrangements. Rooms have a retro, beachy vibe; some are compact, a few lack a separate bathroom sink, and older wall A/C units can be noisy or underpowered. Expect a clean, character-filled stay in a highly walkable North County location.

Very sweet little hotel. Love that every room has a kitchenette. Very clean and comfy. There is a train that passes nearby on a regular basis but it wasn’t bothersome. Had everything I needed to be comfortable. Great places to eat and a market within a couple of blocks. Beach access is about a pleasant walk about quarter mile north or south from the end of that road.

This is a very comfortable, clean hotel centrally located in Leucadia, CA. The hotel staff members are just wonderful! Very accommodating and friendly. Parking is easy and available. We always ask for a quiet room in the back of the hotel and it’s always great! Le Papagayo is a wonderful restaurant within walking distance of the hotel…amazing breakfasts and dinners especially. The little grocery store next door to the hotel…Just Peachy…has great products for your stay. There are a number of coffee places and restaurants additionally within walking distance of the hotel.

Very clean and charming room with a delightful kitchenette and kind and friendly staff. Many great restaurants within walking distance and so close to the beach. What a great value! We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and had a blast. Close to cool, indie shops like Artifact Bookstore and Lou’s Records. I enthusiastically recommend!

We loved everything about this place. The managers are very vested in the operations. He actually escorted us to our room and showed us where everything was. The room was immaculate - very clean. Very quiet. Loved the Spanish tile floor. Bed and comforter were really comfy. We would definitely stay here again. There were dining options next door, two doors down and a produce market next door. Parking on the property. Can’t say enough about this place.

This was our second stay at the Leucadia Beach Inn and we are continuing to fall deeper in love with it. The flower smell comes through the window, everything is clean, short walk to the beach/shops/restaurants.. the lights at night and sound of the fountain! We were locals displaced by a flood and they made us feel at home. The manager is so nice!

Everything was clean. The chemical smell was very strong at first but I’m sure it was only because we were allowed to check in early. If checked in at the normal time it would not have been overly strong. It did not bother me to complain. One of my friends noticed it. But she was not staying in my room.

It’s a good location, affordable, the hotel is cute and all ….but my queen bed was very sunken in — I just dealt with it because no vacancy… but the third night Sunday afternoon found about 6 -7 ants crawling ON my sheets and comforter! after we came back being out all day! Mind you we were very careful not eating on the bed or in the room. We had leftovers from restaurants in the fridge but why ants on my bed and not going to a fridge? And a few ants in the bathroom? ? Needless to say I stayed on my moms bed the last night even though they sprayed the room and offered new sheets it made me feel uneasy.. we wish we were offered a discount for the ant problem the last night because who would feel comfortable sleeping in that bed after seeing that ?

Property is quaint and cozy feeling despite being on a pretty busy street. Room is small, but adequate. It is awkward that there is just the kitchen sink, no bathroom sink, but it is ok/understandable given the size of the room. Only real complaint or issue was the bed and mattress were very worn out, creaky and not supportive.

I had a smaller room this time, but it worked fine for one person. The main issue was the air conditioning. It was a very small unit, tucked under the kitchenette structure. We were experiencing an unusual heat wave and this little wall unit couldn't cool the room efficiently. Luckily it was cooler my second night and I opened the windows. I would be cautious if you need a cool room to sleep in this summer.

Hotel is a cute little place right on Hwy 101 main drag where you can walk to everything. Room was clean and had all we needed. Only issue was the AC unit was fairly noisy and we had to use it because it was quite warm and humid. I used ear plugs. Somehow, I got the impression it was closer to the beach. Staff should let folks know they have beach towels to borrow from the office. Everyone that works there is very nice.

We love this place! Always welcoming when we check in. Always clean. Perfect location, safe, and quiet. If there’s one thing I would have to suggest would be to upgrade the mattresses. They are worn out. This is the second room with them. I think it’s time. Otherwise this little gem is perfect!

A charming, vintage motel at a great price, but with some drawbacks: the bed was very comfortable, the location excellent, close to beach and restaurants, the manager friendly. However, the room we were in needed attention to maintenance such as chipped pain, missing grout, a cook-top that doesn't work right, a very narrow bathroom, etc.

Pros: Really really cute updated 1950s property. 12 units..mine had tiny kitchenette with table for 2, large bath tub. Good towels, good queen bed. AC is older wall unit...works well. 2 plates, bowls, cups, glasses provided....all re-usable. Microwave. Refrig. 2 burner stove. Excellent restaurants nearby. Recommend the FRENCH Bakery...the quiet one 3 blocks away for excellent almond croissants. Cons: no Kleenex. No paper towels but there is a cloth dishtowel. Well...the Coast Highway and tourists are 5 ft from unit 12 on sidewalk. The FAST train is 150 ft away and runs all night. I slept well anyway

Receptionist didn't seem to believe me when i called him to tell him I wasn't receiving emails from their hotel. I had to call 3 times to check in because the office considers anything past 5pm an "after hours" check in. He didn't seem to care to much, or consider it my fault I didn't get the email. Never saw any staff on duty. Bathrooms were small everything else was just ok. Nothing spectacular.

The guy who checked us in was a serious creep who insisted on showing us how the security cameras see everything on property and then came into our room after we had checked in claiming that he wanted to make sure the room was clean. For some reason he also decided to start flipping channels on the tv then gave us a lecture about not being too loud, smoking “sage”, or slamming the door. All on arrival. Big nope.

Stayed for a couple of days while in the area for an event. The motel is cute but lacks parking. Nice to have a kitchenette but there are no paper towels or a dedicated kitchen towel to wipe up the counter. While it's a pet friendly place, we had our dogs with us but they stayed in the car. We were very put off by a manager's comment to us, " you tried to get us to believe your dogs didn't come in the room." Yes, they did stay in the car, and that comment was unnecessary and rude. Kate was lovely and accomodating when I called to let her know our arrival was later than the 5:00 pm in person check in. Nice area with lots of choices for food and drink.

Only issue was the AC unit was fairly noisy and we had to use it because it was quite warm and humid. I used ear plugs. Somehow, I got the impression it was closer to the beach. Staff should let folks know they have beach towels to borrow from the office. Everyone that works there is very nice.

Great location and a great deal a value for the cost. There is a train track nearby and some big trains go by but after the first night, we didn’t even hear them the second night. The hotel has just enough parking spaces for all the rooms which is a bonus as parking is at a premium is close to the beach. Room had a real half size refrigerator with a real freezer and a great little grocery store 40 yards away. All in all the great time thanks!

I stay there years ago. Happened to be in town for an event. And remembered it was a nice place by several good dining options. I remember years ago the paper reviewed this place in the travel and leisure section. Charming boutique hotel. It has everything for me, microwave, fridge, coffee maker and even a cooking stove. Staff is great, fair prices. Some wear and age in the rooms, nothing bad. Comfortable bed, the only thing that may bother you is traffic noise especially motorcycles on PCH and occasional train coaster going by. That's about it, great place to stay in a small beach city

Great boutique inn! It has character. It's close to restaurants and has numerous coffee shops within walking distance. The train nearby was noisy but it stopped running before 11pm and didn't bother us, really.

Conveniently located between Carlsbad and Encinitas, this inn was the perfect choice. It was also located within walking distance of many entertainment stops.

I enjoyed my overnight stay. My room was very clean, which is extremely important to me. The staff was very helpful, which is a big plus. AND, the facility was conveniently located for my visit to the San Diego Botanical Gardens. When I next visit Leucadia/Encinitas, I plan to stay here again.

This is a very comfortable, clean hotel centrally located in Leucadia, CA. The hotel staff members are just wonderful! Very accommodating and friendly. Parking is easy and available. We always ask for a quiet room in the back of the hotel and it’s always great! Le Papagayo is a wonderful restaurant within walking distance of the hotel…amazing breakfasts and dinners especially. The little grocery store next door to the hotel…Just Peachy…has great products for your stay. There are a number of coffee places and restaurants additionally within walking distance of the hotel.

Very clean and charming room with a delightful kitchenette and kind and friendly staff. Many great restaurants within walking distance and so close to the beach. What a great value! We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and had a blast. Close to cool, indie shops like Artifact Bookstore and Lou’s Records. I enthusiastically recommend!

We loved the 1920s style, yet it's been updated very well without losing the charm. Our unit was very clean and the kitchenette very well equipped. Very cool, walkable location with restaurants, shops, and a store nearby.

You can’t find a better deal than this in this area. The hotel is walking distance from everything - the beach, coffee shops, restaurants, and stores. It’s clean, cozy, and pet-friendly. We enjoyed our stay with our two pups and found the staff to be super accommodating. The rooms have little kitchenettes, so you don’t have to eat out every meal, and there’s a community grill on site too. Perfect location, highly recommended.

Consistently the best motel in Encinitas. Beaches are close, kitchenette for budget friendly meals and restaurants close by for meals out. Easy off street parking and walkable to shops, Beacon beach and restaurants. Short drive to Moonlight Beach too. This stay was during a heat wave but the in room a/c unit made for comfortable temperature. We’ve been coming here for a long time now and it’s always nice stay.
