Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"The hotel had a perfect location, and the friendly and helpful staff made a great impression on us. We arrived before the official check-in time and were planning to check in first, rent some beach equipment, and spend some time at the beach while waiting for our room to be ready. However, the staff kindly let us know that our room was already available and even accommodated us with an early check-in, which we really appreciated. We had a wonderful time at the beach, enjoyed the live music, and spent a relaxing evening by the pool. There were also plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and it was nice to be able to walk around, have dinner, and enjoy a drink. The main downside was that the hotel clearly felt quite old, and the biggest disappointment was the musty smell in our room. We suspect it may have been coming from the air conditioning unit. That said, although the room itself was dated, it was clean enough, and the bedding was clean and comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, especially because of the excellent location and wonderful staff."
