LEGOLAND California Hotel
"Average experience for the price we paid. Staff was not friendly and experience was okay. One of the hotels was shut so we couldn't fully get the experience we needed as well."

Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort

Ocean Villas of Carlsbad
"I was expecting a bit more of a wow factor with this property. There really wasn't a luxury element. Felt as though they are relying on the ocean view, which is spectacular, and the proximity to the beach, also spectacular. Still things felt a bit run down. Overall, quite clean and well organized. ..."
