"We had a great stay at the Westin Carlsbad while attending a wedding there. The location was convenient, the staff was very accommodating, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We did have a minor issue with the AC, but it wouldn’t deter us from staying here again. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!"
