An easily accessible location for a weary traveler. It was kind of lame that we had to "check out" pool towels at the front desk, then check them back in before we left… Still, the hot tub was nice :-)Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Cut Rate Dive"
The location was great. The experience was only fair. The room was very clean which was a surprise when compared to the condition of the building exteriors and grounds. This place needs a good power washing and a coat of paint! The staff was generally uninterested in providing service. All there interest was in completing tasks. It was more important […] to file a piece of paper then deliver great service to a customer. I should have known I was getting what I was paying for. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Wanted an inexpensive stay for one night and found the Ramada to fit the bill. Although the room was small, it has all the conveniences one would expect plus the hotel was close to the freeway and a shopping plaza. Definitely would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Ramada Carlsbad By the Sea - power outage"
The suite provided enough room for me to organize my office and stay in comfort. On the their day of my stay, Southern Calif. experience a major power outage. Even without power, the staff was well informed of the event. Due to the power outage, my customer sent me home. While I would have stayed at the hotel, the lack of power prevented me from doing […] other business. Ramada credited me for the day of the power outage which I received promptly, after power was restored. The location and customer service I received will bring me back to Ramada.

"Old but sufficient"
The hotel was old and needed some work. The dead bolt in my room did not work. I was also right by the pool, it was very loud with all the kids and families. It died down pretty much at 10. The breakfast was pretty good. Its a good hotel for families on a budget, not for the business traveller.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Ramada Carlsbad"
We stayed at this hotel during our recent trip to California. The hotel itself is nothing to write home about in terms of decor, however the staff is exceptional, ready to help in any & every way possible. The rooms are clean, housekeeping is walking around it seems 24/7. The breakfast in the morning is filled with different options & the kids love […] the "make your own waffles". It was dog-friendly which was great. If you're room is on the side near the freeway it is noisy as you stand outside but you do not hear the noise inside your room. Overall, great value for your money & located close to everything fun. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Clean hotel, good breakfast"
Great deal! This hotel is cheaper than others in the area and provides many amenities such as a pool, gym, and free breakfast. The breakfast was much better than the continental breakfast served at the conference I was attending. The only downside was the water in the hotel room was not working when we checked in, but was turned on after a few hours. […] Overall, great value for the price!

"Stinky carpet spoiled the stay"
This hotel room had so much potiential. It was large and spacious, but went down hill from there. The carpet was filthy, and the smell was even worse. I had to go to the CVS pharmacy just around the corner to get a glade extra duty air freshener, and that didn't even do the trick. Sorry, but I won't be staying at this hotel again.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Satisfactory, but not a top choice"
The main disappointment for me was that the hotel is very loud, it's right beside the 5 and the sound barriers aren't very effective. I had to run my AC unit on low as white noise and in this instance was glad it was a loud unit. The room was fairly spartan and small, but adequately clean. A kitchenette was advertised, but this consisted of nothing […] more than a small fridge and microwave, no sink or hot plate or cooking or eating utensils. The hotel is heavily used by families and the pool and hot-tub tends to have a lot of kids in it. It also means that the pool area is noisy. The wireless was reliable and fast. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The place was reasonably price and I was satisfied in light of that, but in the future I'll try to find a quieter place. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
