Wonderful location in Carlsbad - within walking distance to all the places we wanted to go to shop, eat & hear live music, and a beautiful beach was just down the stairs. Nice pool & hot tub, torches, tiki lamps & gas fires at night make the place magical. Full kitchen, comfy room.

This place is amazing. I would have given 5 stars but the beds were very uncomfortable. We switched rooms to an upgraded sweet because we decided to stay an extra day. The bed in the upgrade was even more uncomfortable I could feel the springs on my back it felt like a motel 6 bed. My back is still soar from those beds. Hopefully they upgrade the mattresses because we would love to go back and make it a yearly relaxation vacation.

This is absolutely our favorite place to stay. I’m from San Diego and we love to visit Carlsbad for the beach, food and shopping. The staff is amazing, the rooms are so clean and the murals in each room are different and colorful. The pool/spa area is so nice and so many places to just sit quietly and read. Definitely a 10 in our books for places to stay.
