Hotels in Carlsbad

Amazing experience! I was luckily enough to enjoy the luxury and beauty of this resort and all of the experiences that came with it on a company work trip. From start to finish everything about this trip and stay at this resort more than met my expectations. Everything from the beautiful grounds and gorgeous upkeep of the resort, to the helpful and accommodating Omni staff - supporting our company...

yes the breakfast was fresh. They just forgot to put the cheese on the omelette. Everything else was good.

The hotel has suffered some set backs in the 2 years since we’d last been there. The hotel was much dirtier. Especially in common areas like the pool and arcade. Service was overall not great. All the Valet staff is amazing! They give a great first impression. Our front desk check in was cold and unwelcoming, a pretty stark contrast. The folks in the market were also all really great. The restaurant...

The kids loved the pool, slides and splash pads! Everything was clean and the restaurants on site were good. The rooms were nice and new, but several other areas could definitely use some updating. The staff was great!

Beautiful property and resort. Very helpful and friendly staff. Resort restaurant food is good but a bit pricey. I would stay here again and I would recommend to friends.

The service is always the best here. Stayed here for a golf getaway with my buddies and really enjoyed myself. Loved both courses; but the North is by far the better course. The rooms have been updated and are amazing. Looking forward to my next visit.

Third year at LEGOLAND for spring break—and a few standout shoutouts: Rez at Mini’s Lounge is top-notch. Great cocktails, even better conversation. He remembered my drink and hooked us up with awesome local tips. Do not skip an afternoon stop here. Stephen at Dragon’s Den (Castle Hotel) deserves a callout too—his take on a mule is a little different and just as good. Plus, great company. And don...

It was fun and my kids love it!!! We were able to get on all the rides!!!

Overall it was good since it’s next to the park entrance. The kids enjoyed the heated pool. Room was not ready at 4pm, so the staff gave us some hotel credits to spend. Only a few rides were open for early park entry so the benefit was not as good as Legoland Japan. First morning, the breakfast had more than an hour wait. No line the second morning.

The LEGO atmosphere is strong and emotionally engaging, which kids love, and there are many hidden features to explore. The rooms aren't large, but they're adequate. The breakfast selection is extensive and the taste is decent, but advance reservations are necessary, otherwise you'll be reprimanded. There's only one person at the front desk, and it gets very busy during peak hours; most issues need...

Wonderful experience even at 71 yrs old! I Love LEGO and it was so much fun! Electric cart rental was reasonable @ $80/day and friendly team members every where. Food was good and fairly reasonable. Note: they will slow down the Submarine ride so you can safely get on and off.

For the price as expensive as a 5 stars hotel, I was a bit disappointed. The room is a bit dated but kids probably don’t mind that much. Food and restaurants are just average. But the location is unbeatable, less than a min walk to Legoland from the hotel. The only reason staying this hotel is for Legoland, so I can’t mind too much. Overall 3.5 out of 5.

Aviara Great hotel. Staff is friendly. Rooms are great.

Such a great experience! Had a blast with the kids

As soon as we arrived, the concierge was welcoming. Checkin was easy. The staff are polite and accommodating. This is rare – but since it is a five star hotel, I’m glad they live up to the standards. The service was impeccable! My family and I stayed for 3 nights for a little summer vacation away. We enjoyed everything. The family/kids pool was perfect for my little ones. We enjoyed every minute. I...

We had a fantastic stay! From the moment we arrived, the customer service was top-notch — friendly, professional, and always helpful. The food was delicious, whether we were lounging by the pool or hanging out at Topgolf. Our room was spotless, spacious, and comfortable. We stayed in a poolside room with two king beds, which was perfect for our family. Our son had such a blast with the pools, slides...

Beautiful property. Very comfortable beds and nice bedding. Stuff is excellent! Delicious food in all restaurants and pool cafe. Great pool for the kids. Will come back more for sure!

It was amazing! Staff, food and beverage top notch, as well as grounds.

Great community atmosphere, good for family holidays.

On site staff was excellent, mix up with the room but once that was resolved had a great time.

Great staff and the room was very clean with comfortable beds, such cute town with little shops all within walking distance! Great place to stay!

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.

Clean room, walking distance to beach and several restaurants. Easy parking, nice courtyard Will definitely come back, but will book directly with them since I had a huge issue with the rental car with Payless through *******

The room smelled of mildew and the noise from the upper level was loud. We called about the upper level noise and nothing was done. The location of the property is great but the rooms are a bit smelly.

This was our first time here and I have absolutely nothing negative to say about our stay. The room was spacious and the ocean view was really nice. The bathroom was clean as was the rest of the room. Loved the king bed with fresh sheets and big pillows. Didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant downstairs. The beach is right across the street although access is down a ways. Would definitely recommend...

The pool and jacuzzi were closed. I selected this hotel so my son could swim and we could jacuzzi innthe evening. I would have booked a different hotel had I known. Should disclose this prior to letting people book or discount. Since we couldn't swim, we decided to tey to watch a movie the TV was unplugged. Plugged it back in and there was no remote. Couldn't change the volume or channel. Or turn it...

It was a last minute booking that went smoothly. I had a great nights sleep. Walked across to the beach. Staff very hospitable and everything accessible.

Fabulous manager and staff. All very friendly. Sunsets from ocean front room were priceless.

The pool was closed the reason why I choose and I get that they afforded us a different place to go swimming but was easy. The toliet and water pressure and the heat of the water was not good. The room service the first day out a pillow case that was dirty. The the front desk people were excellent.

Front desk wasn’t very accommodating. Ask for a better area and he took his time looking and wants to charge me extra $100 for a better area. Didn’t accomodate my request at all.

Very nice hotel, close with LEGO land. Staffs are very friendly.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa for our kid’s birthday vacation part 2! While the property is currently under construction (which wasn’t clear during booking), the team went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, especially Grace B. She was truly exceptional! Grace personally reached out before our stay, made sure all our needs were met, and took care of every...

The property was under full renovation which was not disclosed to me on ******* when I booked it. This was very disappointing since I use ******* quite often for my trips. The property staff was very nice and apologetic.

Under construction no notice in advance. Staff did assist and do what they could to make it better. The location was perfect for legoland trip

The proximity of Legoland is awesome and the use of the Hilton pool is great, but no one told us there would be major construction when we were here. It's not loud. It's just no facilities are open and it's inconvenient to get to your room. I guess in 2026 summer when they finish all this construction it might be nice but right now it's kind of a dump. Feel totally gypped that we paid full price...

Under construction so I had to use the amenities at the Westin next door. Ice machine on my floor not working

Great location and service. Room is so clean. Soda bed is big too. Good spot for sleep a night and move on. Free breakfast is not much choose but still good. Coffee is 24/7 is a plus!

The rooms were clean and the breakfast was good. The young woman who checked me in, was polite and pleasant as well.

The breakfast was AMAZING!!! We loved everything about this hotel however the construction going on at the hotel was pretty loud.

The women in charge of the kitchen had a bad attitude, you couldn't ask for anything her response was bad.

The rooms were clean, trendy, and recently remodeled. The breakfast was nice and the rooms were spacious.

Destiny was great. I just wish I knew the hotel was being remodeled before booking. Gym was unavailable. Hall ways were being worked on so going by with our luggage was not the best but over all it was okay.

Our room was comfortable and had everything necessary. Nice view of the pool. My only complaint is that the floor in the room was dirty. I felt like I needed to keep my flip flips on.

Staff was great. Our room had the worse mattress so loud every time you turned over it was hard to sleep. The day we checked out we were getting brown water that never stopped in our shower.

Such a great hotel for the price and location. You’re right across the street form the Carlsbad Outlets and the Flower Fields. The property is large and very lush so it feels like you’re somewhere else not at all near a mall. There’s also a direct connection with the Windmill Food Hall which is great for everyone. The pool is actually heated. So many places say theirs is and it’s not but this one was...

Absolutely And Love Liisa She has been helping us check in for over 20 years & she is professional and always very nice.

A good stay at the sea hotel the room and bedding was clean i liked that there was no smelly carpets in the room. The seal on the shower door was coming off but it had no affect on anything The hot tub was out which was a big bummer but It was quiet and peaceful . I would definitely stay there again i just hope the hot tub is functioning

No, shuttle bus as advertised and no gym. Gym was closed due to fixing the lobby. The lobby is where the gym was. Overall great staff and rooms

Beautiful sunset and live music by the bar and main pool area.

Room felt very clean, kitchen had the dishes we needed, staff was pleasant and helpful and quickly took care of requests. We enjoyed the many amenities and beautiful views.

Resort was great! Perfect for families with children! A short 5 minute walk to Legoland was a big plus also! Will definitely be staying here again in the future! Naz at the front desk was nice and helpful with everything we needed

Check in is 5pm - too late. Check out is 10am - too early. Elevators not working. Walked a mile to get to our room from parking garage. Front desk never picked out our calls.

Rose, at the front desk was very helpful and went above to answer all of our questions and help make our vacation memorable.

The property was great, especially for families with children. It has a heated pool, splash pad, playground, and hot tube. Also great to have a full kitchen. Excellent views.

Didn’t see any staff accept front desk - no one came by to see if we needed more towels or anything but there was a card with someone to call if we needed anything .., the smoke alarm went off cooking breakfast called from desk they said they would send maintenance the alarm went off for about 15 min no one EVER came glad there wasn’t a fire.., the room was older I have stayed at other locations that...

The "resort" had good cleanliness and comfortable bedding, but really offer much in the typical resort ammennities. No restaurant, bar, breakfast, etc options

Lots of games to play at home his location. Nice rooms. Comfortable. Staff was nice. Location is great for us to visit family.

Quite property and great amenities for a family. Good location to visit LEGOLAND and SEAWORLD.

Everything was so beautiful very kid friendly I wish I knew you had so many things to do on property I can’t wait to visit California just to come back to this hotel thanks for making it a lovely stay Michael at the front desk was the best

Love the location! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank You!!!

Room is great and clean , staff is awesome! thank you Fred for all your help in changing room dates and checking as in.

The room was well set up. Closet for clothes, good lighting, mini frig, coffee maker, sitting area. Good bed with tv, bath & dressing area.

Location was across the street from ocean so that was nice; however, the room and facilities were tired looking, worn and outdated. Great location but needs a good remodel.

Staff was great, bed and bedding was okay- comfy but could use an upgrade. The bathroom though…. Neither of us wanted to even shower in it. Very highway motel vibes. The location is too fabulous not to upgrade the bathrooms!!

I have stayed at Tamarak for over 20 years. The place hasn’t changed the staff was not bad but not great. They just did their job. It’s really about location, location location.

Beautiful hotel right across the street from the ocean. Close walk to food, coffee, yoga, shopping and restaurants. Quiet and comfy rooms and very clean!

Location was great. Room was surprisingly clean. Service could need more adjustment. Room was not clean every day as was requested. Overall level state was comfortable. I would recommend others to stay here for the $60 a day which I paid for for three days. Short walk to the

The bed mattress was extremely poor. A bump in the middle with two big worn out depressions on both sides of the mattress

The best feature is the good location. The waiter is very nice. The price is very good for this location.

Chain motel, the overall feeling is OK, we stayed for two consecutive nights due to the distance, the service is OK. The room is a bit small, there is a laundry room.

I feel less dogs would be nice. As well as a microwave in the room would be helpful along with a coffee ☕️ pot, and iron to say the least. Other then that KIKI the manager is easy to talk to, she listens and provides excellent service. Thank you Kiki, & Zack Patrivua McIntosh

Thankful that we were given the refund for checking out early.

Room was fairly large and clean. King bed feels smaller than a king. More like a queen

The room stated ocean view, and while I could "see" the ocean, I will never pay that much (or probably stay there) again. The view was of buildings with a barely view of the ocean. ovee soke hoises

We were told we would have a beach view. The slice of beach we could see ‘em was only possible if we leaned far over the banister of the patio. This is not what I’d expect as a beach view.

The hotel was very clean, and the location has everything you need within walking distance including the beaches

So happy we found this place Perfect getaway hotel in a great location. Everything was clean, staff was friendly and I’ve already booked our next stay. Underground parking is safe, clean and there’s plenty of it (two levels). Only costs $20/night.

Great getawsy Nice, large , clean, quiet room. The front desk staff, especially Esteban, were very nice and helpful. All staff were very helpful and polite. Good breakfast. Great location right across the street from the beach. Only complaint was the mattress was way to soft for my taste.

Very easy booking . Last min stop went great

It’s convenient, clean and cheap hotel, good place with commercial area. Equipped with fridge and microwave. 3 minutes away from Legoland, 2 mins away from Costco.

It is okay for single person for a day trip if visiting legoland as location is prime but personally I would not choose to stay again with family because too much noise whole night and smoking smell in the rooms

Maybe we shouldn’t expect too much considering the cost. I booked this location because it was close to Legoland, which was its upside. I had booked for 3 nights but we stayed only one night in the end because I wanted my family to feel more comfortable rather than having to be tolerant. The thing that did it for me was that I found hair in one of the towels. I had to find a different place for the...

Motel 6 Carlsbad East was a decent choice that offered clean accommodations at a reasonable price. The location was in a quiet area, so I was able to rest relatively comfortably, and if I had a car, it was not bad to access major attractions. The rooms were well-equipped with basic amenities, and the overall cleanliness was good. The staff was also friendly and quick to respond, so I was able to stay...

Hotel is clean and in a great area for restaurants and things to do. Staff is excellent.

Freeway too loud during the sleeping hours. Requested to be move but wasn't move to another room. Staff wasnt helpful.

Very friendly vibe at hotel and excellent walkable location to downtown Carlsbad Had to request basic cutlery, plates etc for kitchenette but staff was happy to accommodate.

The staff stood out the most very helpful. The room were very clean as the hallways and staircases .

We stayed here to go to the street fair. The room was really good but there was a very bad smell in the hallway the whole time, luckily not in the room. Front desk people were great, very friendly. Free parking and a big lot, no trouble finding parking. There were a few sketchy people hanging around the lobby.

I found my stay more than satisfactory for me or a family. Close to the activities in Carlsbad Village, yet a fair price.

katie at the front was always amazing & always had a great attitude even early in the am which is hard for most people . they had pots and pans & anything else you needed on hand . the rooms were very spacious, the bed was so cozy that you felt right at home . the ac system was amazing . the housekeeping staff was great as well

The front desk was super friendly. My issue was the location of our room. It was right next to the door leading outside to the pool. So all I heard all morning and night was that door clanking shut. Even with a sound machine on, the sound of clanking doors gave me a headache and I couldn't sleep. So just don't get a room by a door that people will be going in and out at all times.

Clean helpful staff overall great stay

The sanitation and environment are all good, there is a swimming pool, vending machines at the front desk. It is not far from the beach.

The room is old, probably because it is close to the beach, and the carpet is damp! Parking costs an additional $13.

Good location, quiet. Not many breakfast varieties. Not far to walk to the beach. Heavy fog.

The elevator sounds like it’s going to break, Air conditioner is poor and bad odor.

Breakfast waffles were good, but i saw a black guest and her son. Take and make 9 waffles using all the batter and coughing up a storm at cereal bar. Nasty jungle people.

the rooms overwhelmed you with the smell of pinesol. Location is convenient and in good safe area

They can order a few more items in the breakfast buffet

Racheal is awesome. It was very clean. I felt very safe. My husband and I went to see a show and was given wonderful directions and the breakfast was great too the waffle syrup but it’s nice clean. They have every yogurt, the bagels, etc. the breakfast is worth it and the room size is amazing.

Acceptable The room was good for a budget place. It smelled like household cleaning solution, but at least it appeared clean. Breakfast was OK (cereal, yogurt, waffles, no pastries). Security was lax (outer door left open at times).

We did book the hotel 2x and we see improvement. Breakfast is available apple, yogurt, cereals, coffee, pancakes and we are always greeted by Lucy. She's so nice and smiling. There's laundry area and the rooms are ok. They clean it daily. Chair looks filthy though but were not sitting on it so I don't mind.
