Oceanfront Escape | Steps to Beach | Sleeps 7

North Beach

"This was our second stay at this property, the first being in 2022. We had a very relaxing stay, enjoying the cooler weather (we live in the California desert). We love using the front balcony to watch the surfers and birds flying overhead. The house has everything one needs to relax. The couch is very comfortable for 2 people to sit on and the TV is excellent! The kitchen has all that one needs to prepare meals. The house is on multiple levels with the master bedroom on the top floor. ...

Top Carlsbad Hotel Reviews

Hotel Solea, Autograph Collection

4/10 Poor

"Staff was amazing. Hotel rooms were nice and cleaned. Beds were more on the not so comfy side (too worn out). Restaurant on site TERRIBLE! My husband and 3kids walked in for dinner. They said wait was 10-15 min. Ok fine, we waited, about 1 hour & there were only 2-3 tables with customers ( inside) plus more in outside patio bar. My point is we waited for a while past 9pm & they couldn’t sit us down. We walked out dissatisfied! Terrible customer service!!! We ended up ordering room service because it was too late to head out somewhere."

Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort

6/10 Okay

"We understand check in is at 4 but were disappointed rooms weren’t ready before ( usually they are , but that’s on us ). Room was super noisy , street noise on one side , people walking the halls on the other and people above us (no naps for us ). Was an ok stay just not the vibe we had hoped for"

Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA - Near Legoland

2/10 Terrible

"We had a 6 day stay at the place and were so excited about the location by the beach, however after checking into our room at 1 AM, less than 8 hours later we woke up to a mouse in our room. We packed our bags immediately and booked a much more expensive option since we had no option last seconds. the staff were so rude and unfriendly and threatened to trespass me when I was asking for refund for the remaining days. Hotel is literally ridden with mouse and the staff are so aggressive."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"After we enjoyed the Legoland Theme Park we walked right on over to the Legoland Hotel to check in. We drove to a nearby panda express for dinner. There are dinning experiences close by or you can eat inside the Legoland Hotel. I liked the Adventure theme room located on the 3rd floor of the Legoland Hotel. We enjoyed dancing in the elevator. When we got to our room it was pretty clean but we did find crumbs on the floor. Other than that our kids had their own sleeping area. We were excited about the pool but it was closed due to an incident where it had to get cleaned. Fortunately, the kids enjoyed the dj party and had a blast dancing. There were also places for them to build with Legos. There is an arcade but we didn't use it. The bathrooms on site were clean. Our water was perfect during showers. In the morning we had the best complimentary breakfast that had several options at Bricks Family Restaurant. We will definitely be returning to the Legoland Hotel and would recommend to family and friends or anyone who wants to experience a great time."
