    short walk
    outdated rooms
    road noise

    The location was amazing, just a short walk to everything! 🏖️ However, the outdated rooms really need attention. We had a lot of noise from the road outside which disrupted our sleep.

    The location was fantastic—just a hop away from shopping and dining options. The friendly staff had me checked in faster than I could say ‘LEGO! ’ The pool was a delightful oasis, perfect after a day of adventures at Legoland. Clean rooms with comfy beds made for a restful night.

    crowded breakfast
    limited food options

    stayed here for 2 nights and it surpassed my previous experience in carlsbad. the clean room was beautifully decorated, and the pool area provided a great spot to relax. close proximity to legoland made it easy for family outings, and the staff were really friendly.

    the breakfast was often too crowded.

    legoland proximity
    no elevator

    Loved the pool and how close this place is to Legoland—an absolute win for the kiddos! Clean rooms made our family stay pleasant.

    Who knew staircases could be such cardio? No elevator made the trek to the room feel like a mini workout!

    Great location and spacious rooms

    We had a wonderful stay with a spacious room that was perfect for our family. The heated pool was a huge hit with the kids, allowing us to relax after our adventures. Plus, the easy access to dining options and the shuttle service to Legoland made our trip hassle-free. I wish the breakfast had more variety to choose from.
