Residence Inn by Marriott Carlsbad

Residence Inn by Marriott Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent
"Greeted politely and immediately by the late night staff as we checked in a little after 10pm. Our family of four was having a quick night stay over before we went to legoland in the morning and spent the next two nights at Lego land. Received an amazing upgrade two a 2 bedroom suite. The accessible suites we were given had automatic/powered blackout curtains and sunshades."
