Comfort Inn Encinitas Near Legoland

Comfort Inn Encinitas Near Legoland

10/10 Excellent
"I reserved a 10 day stay with the Comfort Inn through Expedia starting 8/5/2026. Two days before our check in, I realized our plane flight home was one day earlier than I thought and tried to change it through Expedia - they couldn't do it and called the Comfort Inn but got no response. When I checked in, I had difficulty with the front desk adjusting our stay - they could not do it the first day and told me they would do it when I checked out. When I tried to check out on Friday the 14th (instead of Saturday)and get the bill, the clerk, Sam, could not adjust our bill for the Friday night refund and said he had to get a manager. I have rarely changed a reservation but never had a problem like this and I stay at hotels frequently. Please make sure I do get my refund as promised by Sam. I believe the amount was approximately $246. Thank you. Other than that, we had a very comfortable stay though parking spaces were very narrow and perhaps the next time you stripe the parking lot, it would be nice to make them at least six to eight inches wider to avoid damage with people getting in and out of their vehicles. There were a number of trucks/large cars in the lots (at least on the left side of the Inn). That would be most beneficial. Thanks for you consideration."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

8/10 Good
"One downside is that the sink was pretty clogged but that’s a common occurrence in hotels. Otherwise the stay was great, love the themed rooms. A little bit dusty on the shelves but overall decently clean enough and the kids enjoyed themselves. The pool is crowded but the kids still had fun and the playground and entertainment was pretty cool."
