    while Carlsbad is a lovely city to see, we did not have enough time to walk around, drive around. We were there for a specific reason, and that took all of our time. From what I heard the flower gardens are suppose to be gorgeous.

    Carlsbad is a quaint small town that is worthy of one-day’s exploration. The greater Carlsbad, including the beaches, flower fields and activities off downtown area can probably filled another couple days’ time. However, I probably will become bored if spending more than three days in the area.

    It is a sleepy town where most of the restaurants and bars shutdown by 10:30 - 11:30 or earlier even on the weekends. If you want entertainment or nightlife you have to leave the area and head to towns to the north or south. The big attraction is the beach and some of the boutique restaurants and shops.

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first:

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first: - The rooms are dirty and in disrepair. My shower turned into a bath. - The freeway is loud, so you hear cars all night - The shuttle only starts at 9:30am and runs every 20 minutes. Need to call at 7am to get on the calendar. 11 people to a shuttle. - Breakfast options are very slim which means you need to venture out to feed yourself. The market next door isn't geared towards breakfast, leaving you starbucks. The good: - The location is only 4-5 minute drive to Legoland. Super fast and easy. We decided to forgo the shuttle and just park at the park early (avoid traffic) and eat at a Legoland hotel. Just need to reserve spot on open table night before. - The pool is nice. Kids loved it. - Great air conditioning in the room. Overall, I would rather just pay a little extra and stay at Legoland if you are going to go to Legoland. If you aren't going to Legoland, I don't know why you would stay at this hotel at all. The hotel goes for a hard value play, but it is a 2 star hotel at best for me.

    Well, Summertime is very busy.

    Well, Summertime is very busy. Good for finding places to eat. Not so good finding beaches to sit on. Or finding Dog Beaches. Hard to find parking for the beach. Got to get there early. Warm weather inland made for humid weather at the coast. Windmill Food Hall was a great place to eat. As was Benihana and The Green Dragon. Primo Pizza was good too. Beaches were crowded and expect to pay for parking there. If you have one good day at the beach consider yourself lucky.

    Terrible experience when trying to sleep the windows don't have proper noise isolation the sound of the freeway plus the sound of their walls/tubs/AC cracking is just awful, we couldn't sleep right the 3 nights there.

    Very very spacious. It's a home away from home. Both bedrooms and living room has TVs and there is a full kitchen. Also, love the dining table, very cozy to work. The whole spaces are Super clean. Great location. So much closer to Legoland than I expected and there is a great brewing restaurant closely. Wish I have stayed here at the very beginning instead of legoland's castle hotel.

    The property has an amazing view of Carlsbad beach. We loved the patio. All the staff were very pleasant and made our stay enjoyable. The property does needs a facelift but my understanding is that this is in process with the patio deck being replaced in November. Our room was comfortable and spacious but had a unique smell which comes with age. Overall we would come back.

    The hotel is a very nice complex with a kind of little park within and a nice pool. The rooms are okay and spacious. The personal was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the room was only cleaned once in 7 nights (see below), but we got always new towels when we wanted it. Also, the shuttle service works very well. The manager personally took me once to the city.

    We loved staying at the Legoland Hotel. They had so many activities lined up for the kids! I loved how we can cross over to the Castle Hotel and have my toddler play in their playground. It was so nice to be able to relax and let my kids play while I sat and watched them. My 3 year old really enjoyed the dance party at night also!

    Great location across from the beach. Restaurant is pricey but very good. The pool is very kid friendly. You can walk to the beach across the street but it’s not a beach you can layout on it’s too rocky. You need to head north or south a little more maybe a 5 min drive. This hotel was only 11 min from Legoland.

    Staffs were friendly. Room was clean. Free breakfast was delicious. Location of hotel is near a lot of places like Legoland, Carlsbad shopping outlet, Carlsbad mall, and food restaurants to eat from. The receptionist even gave my 3 y/o daughter some stickers and coloring things to do when we checked out.

    Terrible place to stay. Dirty, no hot water and broken air conditioner. There was sand in the bed! I was so uncomfortable at how gross this place was that I couldn’t sleep. Can not understand why people like this buy hotels. It’s obvious they don’t care about running a good business just making money.

    We ended up staying at the last minute after evacuating from our originally booked hotel because of forest fires. Bar was nice but closed pretty early. Big comfy rooms, food in restaurant was excellent. Gym was well equipped, way better than we would expect from a resort gym.

    The quality of the hotel is fair. It’s big but not fancy. The rooms are ok but not as I had expected. There is no continental breakfast which I was my understanding that there was. A restaurant is within 2 minutes or less walk. Legoland is a 3-5 minute walk.
