Top Carlsbad Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Tamarack Beach Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. Perfect location too."

Best Western Carlsbad by the Sea

8/10 Good

"It was very busy the week we stayed but it was still clean and comfortable and relaxing."

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Nice clean room and comfortable beds"

Beach Terrace

8/10 Good

"Great location on the beach and within walking distance to downtown restaurants and shops. The room was spacious. The air conditioner was louder than we are accustomed to. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom did not have a make up mirror or shower cap. The best parts were the complementary breakfast (it was so artfully displayed) and being right on the beach. Parking was located across from the hotel but it was expensive."

West Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying here, really liked it. Very clean, friendly staff. Location is great, overall great experience. I will definitely stay here again."

Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"We love it at this hotel, but I didn’t give it 5 stars this time because it smelled musty in the lobby and in our room, and our bathroom was where I could smell it the worst. Last time we stayed, we were given an upstairs room but this time we were downstairs very near the lobby. I figured it was from the weather and being so close to the beach. We also had trouble with the refrigerator in our room and we lost some of our perishable food the first night. It didn’t stay as cold as it should have and I did not trust it for the lunch meats or eggs, they smelled off so I had to throw them out. We still ate our cheese though and it seemed ok. We ate out the whole weekend but we had brought some food for lunches and snacks. It was not the fault of the hotel and I didn’t want to seem like a complainer, plus I figured the hotel was sold out and we probably wouldn’t be able to switch rooms, so I mentioned it all at checkout, The front desk made note of it and they said they would look into both issues. Overall however, the stay was wonderful as usual and the staff were great, especially the evening staff. Parking is awesome, there is a free garage, and the location can’t be beat. We love the property, the pools, hot tub, fire pits, and cabana with everything we need for the beach. It’s a great family place and there is always the sound of babies and small children, which makes you smile. We will stay again for sure, but we will request a room upstairs or not near the lobby next time."

Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach

8/10 Good

"Stay was decent overall with location convenient to local beaches and Carlsbad Village. Nice pool and jacuzzi. Room service and housekeeping daily was attentive. Our specific room met most of our needs but unfortunately it had an unusual musty smell. The AC vent also was quite rusty. Maybe this specific Hilton is a little dated. Almost little to no hooks in the bathroom to hang towels or clothes. Thankfully there were plenty of hangers to use. Never understood why hotels charge separate for daily parking fee, as if there is an option to opt out and park elsewhere. $29 dollars seems to be a little steep for daily parking fee. Parking fee should just be built into the daily room rate."

Holiday Inn Carlsbad by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Liliana was very helpful and very personable. All staff we encountered were nice but Liliana was A++."
