    Carlsbad By The Sea Resort Carlsbad - Oceanside

    A short guide to Carlsbad - Oceanside

    In Carlsbad, everything’s coming up buttercups. These flowers cover 50 acres at The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch. Nearby, the Museum of Making Music highlights American composition and instruments. Directly north, Oceanside is midpoint between Los Angeles and San Diego. This beach town is known for its 1,954-foot pier, the longest wooden pier in the West Coast. Legoland theme park is nearby.

    The location and staff were great. Having so many restaurants within walking dostance was really nice. The beach is also right across the freeway. The pool was clean, nice temperature and the jets in the jacuzzi had great pressure and really felt good. The buffet breakfast-not so good. Food was cold, very little choice and very crowded. As a couple […] without kids, this was not good as most people staying there had kids and were going to Legoland- there was a free shuttle for them to all go there.

    We stayed for 2 nights, the front desk was not friendly at all. The free breakfast was simple and did not have variety. The room looked as if it was renovated in recent years however the exterior needs paint job. I picked this hotel mainly because of its location, u can't beat it.

    We booked this stay for our 2-day amusement park trip and it was to perfect spot. Close by with everything we needed easy to find in between. With 5 kids and 2 adults we booked two rooms, without having to ask the hotel put us in adjoining room and that was fantastic! I would definitely stay here again.

    Get to breakfast on time bc if it runs out even before its over they won't make more. Room was nice and spacious.. nice patio and spa and pool. Plenty of parking but in the front of hotel the rental car company's cars take up so many spots so you have to park far from your room!

Complimentary breakfast was great but even though it ends at 930, if you go at 9 & everything runs out, they don't cook more for the last crowd. That sucked. Also parking is kind of a hassel. Rental company works out of the hotel and takes up so many parking spots if you're […] room is in the front. Otherwise, good hotel. Read more

    If you are going to Legoland, this is one of the most convenient place to stay. The hotel is located across the Outlet Mall with lots of restaurants to choose from. You don't have to use your car to eat at TGIF, PF Changs's, Rubios, Panda Express and many more. The Flower Field entrance is just right across. The rooms are clean and the buffet breakfast […] is good. For the price I paid, I can't asked for anything more. I will definitely come back to this place next time we visit Legoland. Read more

    This hotel is decently located with regard to not being too far from the beach and it's literally in the outlet mall parking lot. So there is shopping and restarants near by. However, I would not stay there again. My room door was facing the freeway, despite me requesting a "view". My entire trip was incredibly loud...from the freeway traffic right […] outside my door, to the paper thin walls with my neighbors late night chatter, to even my in room refidgerator was making weird crackling sounds all night long and kept waking me up.

    We requested a quiet room and were given a very nice room away from the freeway and TGIFridays.

There are two other restaurants on site that would probably be better. There is […] a free shuttle to Legoland and the location is perfect (close to Legoland and the beach).

    Place is nice. Very close to Legoland. Shopping center and restaurants across the streets. There is a TGIF right next to it. Free breakfast is good, considering that it's free. My only issue is that the housekeeper does not even bother to knock before coming in. It happened twice in one day. First time freaked me out a bit because I was with my daughter. […] Someone was trying to get it but couldnt because the latch was on while we were sleeping. Second time was around 10 am. Same thing happened again. I peeked through the peephole and saw the houskeeper's cart moving away. Read more

    Clean room, comfortable beds, good pool with spa, simple but good breakfast. For the price it is very nice.

    Located right on the side of the Interstate. Old 60's motel with catchy title. Horible paint job. No elevator. Outside entrance to rooms that have balcony opening up on inside so you get to stare at each other. Small room felt very much like staying at a Motel 6.

    I enjoyed my stay very much. I feel it deserves a 4 star rating. There is some maintenance work needed, but just trim painting type of things - nothing serious. Hot tub could have been a little hotter, but pool was perfect temp. Very convenient right near the highway, but not so close that noise was an issue at all. Giant outlet store mall nearby and […] lots of good restaurants. Read more
