Fantastic location across the street from the beach. Downtown Carlsbad is walkable, just 2 blocks away. The building is older, probably built in the 1960’s but was clean. Staff was friendly and while breakfast was just OK, the dining area was clean and organized each morning. One downside is the parking cost of $19 per night.

Nice location. Pleasant grounds. Large room, nicely furnished. Some dinged walls, peeling paint, crumbling grout begging to be refreshed. Staff reasonable pleasant, though would not provide invoice on departure, saying Expedia would provide, which Expedia did not. Included breakfast was below average for hotel of this level.
