The hotel itself really lacked on the room service & cleaning of our room. I’m used to my room being cleaned a certain number of times during a long stay (old towels being taken, trash being removed, beds being made) & that didn’t happen organically. Also, for the hotel to charge 22 dollars a night to park without it even being valet or a garage or even covered for that matter was a little ridiculous. The location was pretty but could’ve definitely got a hotel actually on a walkable beach for a comparable price.

Great location and fun games to play
A wonderful location with basically a private beach in front (walk across road) and lots of fun things nearby (Legoland, museums, and The Flower Fields). Jacuzzi was a great temperature which is the main reason my wife picks a hotel. Uniquely they have fun games available for free to play (ping pong, corn hole, darts, etc.). Service was top notch and friendly. I loved their buffet breakfast though my wife was disappointed in their continental breakfast not having the berries and greek yogurt as advertised (only Yoplait and Mellons).

Cleanliness: Overall the hotel and room were clean however the pool needed some attention and had many bugs and debris in it, which was disappointing when we came specifically to hang by the pool. It also get quite busy on Saturday.
The service: Front desk staff was great. We asked for the third floor room w/ sliding door for best view and airflow thru room and was granted an upgrade immediately as well as given early access to the room. Service in the bar and restaurant was not very good. Craig is a real bummer behind the bar, and acted like we were bothering him to order drinks. The second night we enjoyed the live music on the patio but had to get up to get any help and the waitress never returned after our drinks and food arrived.
-FYI- They DO NOT have room service, although listing claims otherwise. You must order in person at the restaurant and take it to your room. Food and drinks were good however.
Location was great quick drive/uber to anything you need and walk across the street to the beach.
*Extra note: They do have free on-site electric car charging station on the back side of the hotel. Update the hotel listing to reflect this.
Overall I would stay here again.

Our check-in went fine. Room smelled strange. Almost faintly like sewage. Could hear everything happening upstairs even late at night. Super noisy. No water in our room or on our floor. Couldn’t access the WiFi despite having the correct information.

Great location, outside of the busy downtown Carlsbad and directly across the highway from the beach. But upon arrival for check in, which is 3pm, we arrived at 4pm and our room wasn’t ready. They offered another room, but up charged us for it. Restaurant is convenient but limited on choices. Complimentary coffee in the lobby was a definite plus.
