"The best"

Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach

8/10 Good

"The room was not ready for"

Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel, Carlsbad, Series By Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"It was a really clean room and great access to the community area."

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The grounds were beautifully maintained. We watched staff meticulously clean the glass around the pool, wiped down railings all the way to the ground. They need a raise ! Every staff we came in contact with was knowledgeable and the training shows. We were greeted by the gift shop cashier, the front desk clerk came around to hand me my room keys. These little things did not go unnoticed. Mya was a great waitress to us! She made our night with being so fun and kind to our party."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

8/10 Good

"The clerk when we checked in was not friendly at all, but everyone else was. The rooms are starting to be updated (floors and paint). However, the furniture and the showers are old. Our room also had a horrible musty smell. The breakfast offers a lot of options and was good. For the price and location it is well worth it."
