We stayed over one Saturday night in April. The location was the best feature! Once we parked upon arrival, we walked everywhere during the rest of our stay. The hotel was very clean and the employees were helpful and friendly. The pool area was definately cramped, so don't plan a trip based on pool time. The public access to the... More

If you want close-in beach access - this is the place. We come to Carlsbad every summer for the beach, this has a great location. Walk to beach - don't have to worry about parking. Walk to restaurants, bars & shopping. Great place to spend a few days as a beach bum!

This hotel is right across the street from the beach. My wife and I stayed there as we were taking a mental health day from work. The hotel is an older building which has been remodeled. We had a king room and balcony on the south side of the facility. From the balcony you can see the ocean. Did I... More

Stayed there the week of April 16th and enjoyed it very much. The rooms were extremely clean and very large. We had a king deluxe which included a full kitchen, huge closets and a bath with double sinks. The heated pool and jacuzzi were fantastic. The view of the ocean from the sun deck is something that shouldn't be missed.... More

The front desk staff was very friendly & helpful. The lodge had a great veiw of the ocean from its deck. My suite was very clean & large. The location was great. We walked across the street to the beach. The restaurants & shopos were within walking distance. Very nice continental breakfast, very good variety. We definitely will stay again

Average at best. We stayed here (2 adults, boys age 9 & 6) for our Legoland visit for two nights and I know we wouldn't come back. Like others, we found it dated and not as clean as we would have liked. We were in room 38 on the second floor. It had two double beds and the smallest bathroom... More

We just stayed here and our experience was great! We stay here when we are in Carlsbad, but this trip was the best. Jeanie at the desk was VERY helpful and friendly, and Kathy in the kitchen, was extremely friendly. They made our trip that much more enjoyable. Thanks!

We arrived at the hotel after dark, so we couldn't see the beautiful surroundings. Our room smelled so musty. We sprayed an entire bottle of Febreeze to help out. The breakfast was nothing but day-old pastries, some fruit, cereal, milk & juice. No protien. We did love the beautiful ocean views. The pool was really warm and the kids had... More

I took my mom there for an overnight stay during our vacation. I wish I could have stayed for weeks. The room was ready when we got there and maybe because it was so late and everybody else had already checked in by the time we got there, the front desk staff greeted me by name even though she had...
