Great location within easy walking distance to all Carlsbad Village has to offer. Our "partial view" room had a surprisingly great view of the ocean! We discovered the rooftop deck on our way out (bummer) so don't miss that incredible view. We'll be back to spend some time up there.

Perfect location

Just a quick overnight by the beach. Unfortunately a dense marine layer moved in just as I was arriving so the extra I paid for deck and ocean view was wasted. Great location can walk to everywhere you'd want to go in Carlsbad.
