Pala Casino Spa And Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. The room was very nice and the beds were extremely comfortable. We had meals in several options that were available. Had an excellent dining experience in the room behind the kitchen. We enjoyed the concert that was outside. We found several slot machines that caught our eye. I should also state that the drinks were delicious. Finally, we always appreciate valet parking. As we get older, this becomes a treasured perk."

Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel, Carlsbad, Series By Marriott

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but the shower amenities the shampoo and conditioners were completely out and I was hoping to use them when we came back to the pool so that was disappointing staff that cleans the rooms should be checking those daily to see if they need to be refilled. It wasn’t a huge deal just a little disappointing since I was taking my son a shower after the pool. The hotel was under construction but that wasn’t such a big deal. The pool was great my family really enjoyed it. The hotel is also in a great location."

La Jolla Cove Suites

8/10 Good

"It was under construction so we got a good deal on the price, otherwise we couldn't afford it. The noise was loud starting at 7am, fortunately I had a blue tooth speaker with mega bass and turned on brown noise and it covered most of it. And the valet was annoying, much rather just have an onsite lot. But the valet people were on time, and good. anyways beautiful location, beautiful view pricey, but if you have the money, it's worth it, it's a good value"

Residence Inn by Marriott Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and staff very accommodating. Kids loved the basketball court and pool with hot tub. I wished there was a bathtub. But the shower was not bad just a little difficult to shave my legs. There are drawers and cabinets all over and the kitchen is well furnished. The room is nice sized with five of us in a king a sofa bed. It’s a little weird being in an industrial area but good proximity to LEGOLAND, Costco, two skateparks and a plethora of dining options."
