The pedestrian-friendly core buzzes with boutique shops, wine bars, and the lively State Street Farmers Market where locals swap stories and fresh produce. Getting around is a breeze with everything within walking distance and a train station right in the village. When hunger strikes, dive into fresh seafood at oceanview spots or grab casual fish tacos from beachside stands.

8/10 Good

"Location is fantastic! Ocean directly across the road with a gorgeous sunset vantage point. Nice walking trail area along the bluffs. Easy drive (10 minutes) to Carlsbad village with many restaurant choices. The on site restaurant was undergoing renovation so choices and ambiance in the ballroom alternative were not that appealing, but we brought food for breakfast and snacks and planned to eat out in the village otherwise anyway. The room was quiet and temperature controls worked fantastically. Bed was comfortable. A couple of oddities were that trash baskets in the room did not have liners, so we used the dry cleaner bags because of the food containers we brought. The shower was great and had nice liquid shampoo,.conditioner and body gel but the had soap for the sink was the smallest thing I’ve ever seen…about the size of a quarter and almost as thin. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. Hallways had a bit of a mildew smell not noticeable in the room."
