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.

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...

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.

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...

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

The room was amazing. Bed was comfortable, room was very clean, friendly staff. The only thing I was not pleased with was the price. Cha Ching! Thank goodness we had a $100 off from hotels.com. Not saying the room wasn’t worth it. But it’s not something I could afford with out the coupon. Would definitely stay again. If I had coupon.

Our stay was awesome!! Very convenient location to Legoland which was the purpose of our stay. The hotel was very clean and the fireplace in the lobby was so inviting. Check in was great. The room was fantastic. It had a sitting area as well as the sleeping area. Beds were so comfortable. The breakfast was great to start our day off. A special thanks to the staff for ensuring everything was replenished. We will definitely stay there again on our next adventure.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel — the rooms and amenities were great, and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful.
A special thank you to Sydney and the team for going above and beyond when we accidentally left behind a personal item. They responded quickly and helped return it to us, which meant so much to our family.
It’s rare to find such thoughtful service these days, and this really made our weekend even more memorable. Highly recommend this hotel, and we look forward to coming...

Perfect location if you're going to Legoland! It took us about 8 minutes to walk from the hotel to the theme park entrance. There's an open gate to get into the Legoland parking lot.
The hotel is also located by some nice eating places including Karl Strauss (on the property). Down the street from a Starbucks, Costco, Burger Lounge, 7-Eleven, Carls Jr., etc. If you go down a bit more you'll hit the Carlsbad Premium Outlets.
Also very close to a Tesla supercharger (about 1 mile away). Best...

My husband, 4-1/2 year old son, and I stayed at MarBrisa, as we had planned a trip to Legoland. The hotel and room were really nice, clean and updated. The room was very comfortable...it seemed to be a little larger than most hotel rooms. We really enjoyed relaxing around the pool area. We were there during the week, in the summer, and it was not crowded at all. I think everyone must have been at Legoland...which leads to the next huge benefit.
