8/10 Good
"We have stayed here before for the holidays. Great hotel, close to Legoland. Front desk staff friendly. Loved the cookies and milk in the evening. Plenty of parking. Did not use pool but hot tub was closed. Breakfast was ok. Tater tots were still frozen. Pancakes lacked flavor. Sausages overcooked. Need more kid friendly cereals. Kitchen staff very friendly. The only thing I did not particularly care for was that the cleaning crew knocked twice at 8 am and 1045. If checkout is at 1100, please do not disturb guests before then. We understand rooms want to be turned over but we are paying to stay until the checkout time of 1100."

"This is a wonderful hotel and I look forward to returning here. The location and view are spectacular. They have so many thoughtful amenities from blankets and shawls out by the beach chairs and fire pits. The breakfast were made up of delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches/items. Our room which was right off the pool was large, clean and perfect. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and if you preferred a different type of pillow you could request it. The hotel is right by all the shops and restaurants in Carlsbad village. The staff, especially Michelle, were so welcoming, nice and accommodating."
