Beachside family friendly hotel
Great location to stay at for a trip to legoland. Short drive to legoland and a super short walk across the street to get to the beach. The property also has beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, toys) available to use at the beach. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby also. Outer rooms on the front side of the hotel have a balcony to relax and watch the sunset over the ocean.

Great "southern" SoCal location
Great location. Right on beach (across the street) and very walkable to all of Carlsbad. Driveable to many "beach towns" and San Diego (35 minutes). Check out the solarium!

Pleasant
Everything was really good. Its worth the extra charge for the ocean view. Only disappointment was the bathroom floor. It actually looked dirty but with a closer view it was apparently just a old floor that does not look good. Way-Out dated.

Noisy stay
Our room opened to the inner courtyard and was very noisy from early morning to late evening. We asked for a different room but none were available. We would probably either pay for ocean view or stay somewhere else.

The Staff was fantastic! Our room had an amazing view. The property is a little dated but who cares when it’s just a place for sleeping. So many shops and places to eat at around this property. Definitely would recommend.

The hotel is in a perfect location and we thoroughly enjoyed staying in a room that had a view of the ocean. The room was spacious and clean and it was easily walkable to different restaurants and the beach. Thanks to the staff for a pleasant stay!

Nice hotel across the street from the beach. The pool was heated, jaccusi was nice. It was very quiet, mostly older couples. They have pool and ping pong, movies, books and boardgames to borrow. Its a very relaxing place and parking is secure with a gate. Breakfast was just ok, if this was better it would be great.

This is a nice hotel in prime beachfront location. We'll definitely be back. However, to be called "resort" they should make a couple of improvements: a better variety for breakfast and more hooks, bars and shelves in the bathroom. Typically on the beach you have a lot of stuff to dry out.
