The hotel had a charming and welcoming feel. Very kind staff ! Clean and well kept . Breakfast was delicious and served nightly chocolate chip cookies and milk . My only suggestion was that there was pool and it would have been nice if it was heated so we would have had that option. I’d definitely return if I was in the area.

Pleasantly surprised by the property when i drove up. Very clean and maintained. Walked in and the staff was very pleasant and friendly. As checking in she informed me of places to eat and beach was within walking distance. The breakfast that was offered had a nice variety to choose from. The room was always clean and felt very safe

Great place to stay, with easy access to everything close by. Keep in mind though the freeway is right next to the hotel, as is the Coaster train. Everything was very clean, and the shower was huge. Bed was not the most comfortable but the bedding was great. Free breakfast and free parking were a plus, even though we chose to grab food at multiple places in Carlsbad instead since there is so much to choose from. Staff was very nice too! We would stay here again.
