Affordable, Kind, Clean and Family Friendly

We always choose Carlsbad by the Sea. Over the many years of staying there has been a lot of improvements. The pool area is great. The Windmill food hall is fun. But the best is the shuttle ride to and from Legoland. Their staff is soooo Nice, I always look forward to our chit chats :) As long as they stay affordable, kind and clean they will be our choice get away destination stay.

Nice location next to the venue. Not very clean when we came in and staff didn’t have our room ready right at check in. They still needed to clean it and get it ready.

The counter top was stained however we initially thought it was dirty. There were four bees and one stung me.
Ursela, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay here as a family of four. The grounds were nice and kids had room to play. Location was great for us as we were visiting Legoland and the Carlsbad Flower Fields. I wish they had notified us in advance the pool was being remodeled. We likely would have stayed elsewhere. Kids were disappointed they could not swim.
