Doesn't look as good as the pictures on the website. The room was Dirty, Old, Outdated, terrible musty moldy odor. Hair in the sheets, gross dirty windows and sliding glass door dirty, wood shade falling apart. When we checked in saw the room, we went directly back to the office and the manager offered to give us a discount off of one night. We did attempt to find another hotel but all were booked for the weekend. Day two, maintenance shut off the water without informing the hotel guests. Emergency or no emergency hotel guests should be notified of the inconvenience. Day three, the housekeepers kept slamming the doors from the supply room in the morning and management refuses to accept responsibility they deny this could even happen. We stood outside and witnessed it, how could we not see that. Over Priced. Parking sucks, we had to park on the street where our vehicle got vandalized. The Website appears to be misleading, Very disappointing.…

Hotel's Favourite
Great location in Carlsbad directly across the street from the beach with a beautiful view of the sunset from the viewing area. Easily walkable to Carlsbad Village. Older property, but well maintained and spotlessly clean. Amazing friendly staff. Frequent promos from Best Western make it an even better value than surrounding properties. My first choice in Carlsbad.

Great location and common deck area awesome. Dirty and old outdated room. Borderline gross . Falling apart. Shredding Curtains falling off door. Window and door filthy. Scream halfway attached. I feel Ike this is common for hotels to charge outrageous prices because of location but don’t care about conditions. Very disappointing.

This hotel is a great location to stay at while visiting Carlsbad. It is within easy walking distance of shopping, dining, and the beach. There is a large open deck on the second floor which is a great place to see the ocean and have breakfast or cocktails. However, the street noise is very loud at rush hour. The rooms overlook the pool which can be noisy at times and the partial ocean view is exactly that, you can see a bit of ocean if you stand out on your balcony. The rooms are more than adequate and beds are comfortable.

Dear kimberly50, Thank you for staying with us! You are correct, all our balcony rooms are partial views that face south. I am happy to know that you enjoyed out beautiful full ocean view deck. It is truly relaxing. We appreciate the feedback you provided us and are always looking for ways to improve our guest experience. We hope to see again soon on the beach.

The hotel needs major renovation and price changes. It doesn’t look as good as the pictures, the view is more so of the street than the water, and they are not organized. I checked out early on time and I was charged extra taxes and an extra night. I called multiple times and they said it was correct, up until I asked for a break down of my charges. I clearly saw what I was over charged for and called them back. I’ve been waiting on my refund, but only tax refund was processed. This is a MAJOR inconvenience to me, yet they will not address it properly. On top of that, our pillows had stains on them, thankfully I brought my own. I will not be coming back and I am sharing with friends and family about my experience here.
