Top Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Carlsbad

Hyatt House Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent
"The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, the bedroom was spacious. We liked the unusual couch. My husband found it comfortable for a quick nap. The breakfast had quite a few options. The staff were friendly and helpful. The property seemed pretty new. We were able to check in a few minutes early as our room was ready but others had to wait for their rooms. We really like sleeping in the dark and this hotel room delivered with only a few tweaks on my part. Sometimes no matter how I try there is light from various appliances and from around the door or window. My husband said this was the darkest hotel room we have ever had and we appreciated that. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Carlsbad."
