It was a self check in/out which was very convenient. You can text the staff and they are very responsive. The place is very quaint, older but very well kept and clean. The only thing that was difficult is the parking is very tight and small area so we had to park about 2 blocks away. This was the only negative experience. The bed was very comfortable and there is no AC but our room had 5 fans throughout so it was not an issue on a 78 degree day. It was quiet and we had great water pressure...

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!

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.
