Great for Legoland - if you have Kids with you. Smart Starwood (Sheraton) property - only two years old. Check-in efficient (Club room booked) Only lounge is the foyer Excellent bedrooms - good size - good beds - good pillows Bathroom - very good but walk-in shower would make it excellent Parking under the hotel block - you don't need... more

This was my second time staying at the Sheraton Carlsbad. I never get tired of gazing at the grounds of the hotel: the beautiful architecture, luxurious spa furniture in the courtyard, and the pristine lobby. My son was going to be in a special Legoland competition, and we splurged on a Club Room. The room took my breath away. I... more

As a Starwood GOLD member I always enjoyed staying at the Sheraton/Westin chain. The hotel is quite new (not even shown on my GPS with 2008 map). We stayed 2 nights in the Club Floor and it was clean, and quiet. We requested a microwave and baby crib at check-in, and it was delivered to our rooms within 10 minutes,... more

I am so pleased to read that you had a great experience with our Resort. We appreciate your wonderful comments. I apologize for the frustration you experienced with our Concierge team and will certainly address your concerns with them and the Front Office Manager.

We loved our stay at the Sheraton Carlsbad. Professional and courteous staff, great pool area, activities for the kids, all in a relaxing atmosphere. Though this hotel is one of the official Legoland hotels, you'll barely notice, which is a good thing. The hotel balances the family vacation crowd with the business & non-family crowd very well. Free pool toys... more

We try to make our Resort comfortable for all of our guests...those with kids and those without. I think we strike a great balance and am glad this was your finding as well. We are proud to be a destination resort for all kinds of travel reasons: leisure, business & group. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you...

We stayed here over the New Year's for 2 nights in a deluxe connecting rooms (traveling with 2 children.) Check in was a snap, staff were most efficient about getting us to our room asap so we could watch the fireworks from Legoland from our balconies. Kids loved it.!!! As mentioned on other reviews, hotel is within walking distance to... more

I am thrilled that you enjoyed our New Years Eve event. This was our first annual Family Friendly New Years Eve and it was a lot of fun for us too! We will definitely enhance our music selection with a Top 40 mix to make this event even better this coming year. Happy New Year to you and your family!

This hotel is beautiful and right next to legoland. The down side to this hotel is that they did not have enough people on staff to accommodate all their guests. We left our car with the valet parking which is a little more than parking it yourself. When we wanted to go to dinner, we had to wait awhile for... more

I appreciate your taking the time to write a review of your experience with the resort. I apologize that we appeared to be under staffed during your stay. I have reviewed your comments with the resort department heads so that we can insure our future guests do not have the same experience. Based on your feedback, LEGOLAND has agreed to...

Our family of four stayed in this hotel before Christmas. We are SPG members who travelled all over the world and stayed in Starwood hotel chains. I'll have to say that this hotel is below the Sheraon's standard in other locations. The good: - pretty new hotel that conveniently located near Legoland. - very spacious hotel room and nice furniture... more

We had a fantastic experience at this hotel this Thanksgiving weekend! The hotel was really clean, we stayed in a huge beautiful suite, the food and service were great and the location was really nice (close to Legoland, golfing, and the beach). We live in LA and this was a refreshing getaway. We will be back! more
