Top Carlsbad Hotel Reviews
Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Carlsbad
8/10 Good
"Staff is wonderful, bed (king) comfy, view of the courtyard pretty. I don’t usually stay in a Marriott so a couple things caught me off guard. 1) paying to park in their lot, and 2) having a Starbucks kiosk instead of a breakfast bar. Room was comparably priced, and actually slightly less than Hampton Inn (Sunday night). Probably won’t stay again though."
