Charming accommodation in an attractive area / community, but honking trains nearby run all night

Liked: 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).
Disliked: 2 major things: 1.) not having a front desk / someone to talk to gives this accommodation an anonymous touch. Being able to write an email or make a phone call is not equivalent to walk up to a desk and talk to someone. I understand, that this is probably a cost factor (given the size of the accommodation), but would still recommend to have at least for a few hours a day someone present to talk to. Room service was very nice and engaged by the way - but cannot replace a front desk. 2.) this one is probably hard to change: the train across the street with its loud honks and pretty much zero noise isolation of the rooms gives at least guests sensitive to acoustics of a honking freight train running through the middle of the room a pretty special sleeping experience. It takes a night or 2 to get used to it - if at all possible to ignore.
