We stayed at the Carlsbad LaQuinta Inn while visiting family and going to Sea World. It is conveniently located right off of the highway. We chose this location because they accept pets and we travel with a small dog on all of our trips. It is an added benefit that pets can stay for free as we have traveled many places that do not accept pets or charge more for the pet stay than the owner. Hotel is clean and well taken care of. Great place and great value for pet owners. « less

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Carlsbad. It was our first trip to this part of California. Do Plan on visiting during the flower fields event in April/May another time. The flower fields are wonderful ! It was the "lady bug" event on Sunday that drew large crouds. (April 21st 2013) The Oceanside boardwalk is teriffic ! Oceanside is just north of Carlsbad. Mary & James Las Vegas, Nevada P.S. When we travel for business or leasure we ALWAYS book a La Quinta. The value and locations are excellant also the breakfasts are wonderful. « less
