Sentral Gaslamp Quarter
Everything from the great hospitality to the innovative technology. I've never heard of a washer and dryer combined into one machine! I was able to do my laundry in my room. Never been able to do that before. It was so cool 😎

Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort
The room was extremely clean and the staff very hospitable. The room was fully stocked for any meal and it was great having the grills available to use when needed. A great place to stay a few steps away from the beach and many shops and restaurants.
