Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach
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 ...
