Kathrine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This place is amazing. I would have given 5 stars but the beds were very uncomfortable. We switched rooms to an upgraded sweet because we decided to stay an extra day. The bed in the upgrade was even more uncomfortable I could feel the springs on my back it felt like a motel 6 bed. My back is still soar from those beds. Hopefully they upgrade the mattresses because we would love to go back and make it a yearly relaxation vacation.

6/10 Good

Beautiful location but not directly at the beach. There is a street in between. Staff is super unfriendly. Breakfast is a joke. Overall too expensive for what you get.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is absolutely our favorite place to stay. I’m from San Diego and we love to visit Carlsbad for the beach, food and shopping. The staff is amazing, the rooms are so clean and the murals in each room are different and colorful. The pool/spa area is so nice and so many places to just sit quietly and read. Definitely a 10 in our books for places to stay.
Debra, 5-night trip

Staff was so friendly and accommodating. The grounds were beyond belief. Entire facility was immaculate and beautiful! We will be returning soon.
Candace, 4-night trip

We got an ocean view room with balcony. The view was amazing and what my family an i loved the most was that the beach was so closed and great dining restaurants were so near from hotel!
Tatiana, 2-night trip

The property location was awesome, walking distance to the beach and restaurants, close to LegoLand. The room was great, grounds were well kept and the outdoor furniture was very clean, as was the pool. The staff was also awesome!
