Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful"

Hyland Inn Near Legoland

2/10 Terrible

"We booked for one night. Arrived at 11:30 pm. By 6:30 am went to use the restroom and there was water on the floor and some dirty water coming out from the shower area. At 8:30 am there was more water on the restroom floor and then there was water spots around the bedroom floor. Thera was also a smell and we realized the shower was filling with sewage. We could not shower and we could not use the restroom. I went to tell them at the office still in my pajamas and that is when I saw more people coming out to complain about the same problem with the plumbing. The older male spoke to about 4 of us guest and reassured us we would not be charged for the night, repeatedly apologizing for the inconvenience. When I went back in the room I rushed back to the office because now the water had come out to the room through the walls and was now around the bed on both sides. We grabbed all our things and couldn’t even pack or get dressed. When I returned to the office by myself to ask for the refund for the night he had reassured us guests that he’d been speaking to he said we’d only get our $100 deposit that that is what he meant. What the actual ***k?!!!! He denied saying that none of us would be charged the night. Even took back a business card comping a future stay for the inconvenience. No restroom, no shower, no sleep in after a late night. Rushed out in our pajamas without being able to pack or get dressed. He still denied refund when we reached out to Hotels.com. Worst experience!"

Tamarack Beach Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love the location, all you have to do is walk across the street and you are at the beach. I selected the room with a beach view. It was nice sitting on the balcony and watching the sunsets. They do offer a breakfast, but the items are limited. The property is also within walking distance to the village with shops and restaurants. If you are there on a Wednesday you can also check out the farmers market. They also have secured parking at no charge which was a plus. The building is older but everything is kept very clean. This is the second time I have stayed here and I plan on staying there again."

Carlsbad By The Sea Hotel

6/10 Okay

"-Room was clean with so much space. You can definitely tell it had recently been renovated but it still had a few wall patches that needed minor fixing but overall, not bad. -There is current construction happening throughout the hotel and I cannot wait to see the it in its full glory. -The staff is super friendly. -Conveniently located across the Carlsbad Outlet shops, nextdoor restaurants and convince store, also parents- you are just 3 right turns away from Legoland! We will definitely be back in the future."
