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.

All was superb until 10:30 pm, when the new guests on the room above us checked in/arrived. Children running stomping and yelling into the wee hours. Just to wake us up again at 7 am. They didnt seemed to be supervised, maybe lack of. Just a suggestion, please put family with children on bottom rooms.

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...

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! Occasionally hear the train, but was muffled. Staff was incredibly friendly, and I mean all of them! Even just passing in the hallways or elevators, they would great you and smile. Just not what we expected. Pool heater was not working, but the weather permitted cooler water anyway. Beach was just a...

It's not unusual for me to stay in a hotel once a week but it's quite unusual for me to stay at one 3x in one week. This place spoils you! The king suite has a living room and a full kitchen with a great bathroom and super comfy bed. My dog is more than welcome there which is another huge plus, but best of all, their included breakfast buffet is an upgraded continental and chocked full of options. This is definitely the best deal around and as long as they keep these prices, I'll be a frequent...

This little gem sits right on the beach and is PERFECT! I stayed with my two daughters and we plan to go back as soon as possible. The room was clean and spacious. The hotel was within walking distance of everything. Our stay included free wifi, parking, and breakfast (I think this is the norm for all stays). As for the beach, there are complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and boogie boards. So fun! You won't regret choosing this hotel!

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

Wonderful location directly across from beach access and the Carlsbad village. Service was awesome! They made our experience special and stress free, especially having young children. They provided all of the beach amenities we could ask for, including towels, toys, chairs, umbrellas. The grounds of the property really made the stay extra special. It’s meticulously maintained with a Hawaiian vibe. You very much feel like you’ve been transported to the islands. Can’t wait to come back!

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.
