The room was amazing. Bed was comfortable, room was very clean, friendly staff. The only thing I was not pleased with was the price. Cha Ching! Thank goodness we had a $100 off from hotels.com. Not saying the room wasn’t worth it. But it’s not something I could afford with out the coupon. Would definitely stay again. If I had coupon.

The hotel's cleanliness and newness reflects a very proud staff. They were wonderful with requests and helpful at providing information. Good breakfast selection and well stocked. Very quiet area so it was helpful for business work and relaxed reading. I would highly recommend this hotel because it is outside of the busy areas but close enough to everything besides being reasonably priced.

As every parent knows, traveling with young children isn’t easy. Finding a reliable place to stay with child-friendly amenities is among the most significant obstacles. This hotel did everything it could to provide a safe environment and keep the kids occupied. In addition, they offered excellent breakfast free of charge.
We spent one day in Lego land, on a nearby beach, and at Safari Park. My 6-year-old and I had a blast for 3 days and the best Thanksgiving holiday!! Many modern healthy eating...

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel — the rooms and amenities were great, and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful.
A special thank you to Sydney and the team for going above and beyond when we accidentally left behind a personal item. They responded quickly and helped return it to us, which meant so much to our family.
It’s rare to find such thoughtful service these days, and this really made our weekend even more memorable. Highly recommend this hotel, and we look forward to coming...

- The hot breakfast (which I didn't know it was included in mine) was awesome. They had egg-based meal, cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, bread, orange juice, and more (and yes, everything was hot and delicious)
- Parking (self-covered) will be just $10, which I think is a really reasonable price.
- The place is quiet and safe. In front of the place there are two gas stations; both walkable. I arrived at the hotel late and went there like 10PM but never felt unsafe.

We LOVED this hotel. Its our new spot .. the breakfast was great, the suite was spacious and we LOVED the heated pool in the winter!!
The only thing is we had a hard time finding it and we pulled into the wrong hotel and didn't realize there was another hotel in the back

The absolute QUIETEST hotel we have EVER stayed in, and the place was full of kids! Same exit as LegoLand so we expected kids and it to be loud. We stayed for an entire week and never heard anything!

Our stay was awesome!! Very convenient location to Legoland which was the purpose of our stay. The hotel was very clean and the fireplace in the lobby was so inviting. Check in was great. The room was fantastic. It had a sitting area as well as the sleeping area. Beds were so comfortable. The breakfast was great to start our day off. A special thanks to the staff for ensuring everything was replenished. We will definitely stay there again on our next adventure.

The hotel is about a 20 min walk from the train station/transit center. As I rounded the corner, this property was well landscaped, newer construction and overall several steps above its surroundings. The staff was friendly, no matter who I interacted with through the week. It seems the hotel and furniture was recently updated so things are modern and I found, very clean.

Perfect location if you're going to Legoland! It took us about 8 minutes to walk from the hotel to the theme park entrance. There's an open gate to get into the Legoland parking lot.
The hotel is also located by some nice eating places including Karl Strauss (on the property). Down the street from a Starbucks, Costco, Burger Lounge, 7-Eleven, Carls Jr., etc. If you go down a bit more you'll hit the Carlsbad Premium Outlets.
Also very close to a Tesla supercharger (about 1 mile away). Best...

My husband, 4-1/2 year old son, and I stayed at MarBrisa, as we had planned a trip to Legoland. The hotel and room were really nice, clean and updated. The room was very comfortable...it seemed to be a little larger than most hotel rooms. We really enjoyed relaxing around the pool area. We were there during the week, in the summer, and it was not crowded at all. I think everyone must have been at Legoland...which leads to the next huge benefit.
