    Reasons to love it – and reasons not to

    The location is excellent—a quick walk to the beach and close to attractions. Comfortable beds and a tasty breakfast made mornings pleasant.

    Check-in was frustratingly slow, and outdated furniture made the room feel less inviting. There are also issues with cleanliness and noise from other guests.

    delicious breakfast
    family-friendly location
    crowded dining area

    The best part of our stay was the fantastic breakfast buffet, perfect for keeping our kids fueled for a day at the beach. The hotel's proximity to Carlsbad State Beach made it easy for us to hit the waves and enjoy the sun without hassle.

    My kids wished for a more organized breakfast setup, as navigating the crowded dining area was tricky for families. It can get chaotic with so many little ones around.

    fresh breakfast
    good value

    It was just a great fit for a fleeting pause in Carlsbad with good value for cost. The morning breakfast was actually fresh, which kept up with all the kids bustling around. Try to get down early to avoid the breakfast rush.

    fresh seafood
    local eateries
    decent breakfast
    non-existent wifi
    extra parking fee

    If you're a fan of fresh seafood, Pelly's Fish Market & Cafe is just a short stroll away—definitely a must-try for a quick bite! Also, there's a plethora of local eateries nearby to explore. Our two-night family stay was solid with decent breakfast options that kept us fueled for the day.

    That WiFi was a no-show, making work a hassle, and don't get me started on the parking fee—it felt like a kick in the wallet staying here and still paying extra cash.
