The place is great the only complaint is that the jacuzzi was not working something I did not know from booking online. Other than that the place is like its own little community with a gas station/convenience store, Steak House, and a small convennient store in tne lobby. Excellent place to stay!!

Great place to stay, with easy access to everything close by. Keep in mind though the freeway is right next to the hotel, as is the Coaster train. Everything was very clean, and the shower was huge. Bed was not the most comfortable but the bedding was great. Free breakfast and free parking were a plus, even though we chose to grab food at multiple places in Carlsbad instead since there is so much to choose from. Staff was very nice too! We would stay here again.

The property is very nice and clean. Staff is accommodating, helpful and a smile on everyone’s face. They even have fresh baked cookies from 8 to 9pm. Soft and delicious. If I had to find something wrong is that the lobby and also hallways were kind of warm/humid when we checked in. Other than that everything is great

This is the second time at this hotel and both stays were very enjoyable. This last one, I had a room facing the interstate which concerned me at first, but the noise was very minimal. You can tell the building was built well. Minimal noise from the other rooms as well. I will be coming back!
