Top GIA Museum Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

8/10 Good

"The clerk when we checked in was not friendly at all, but everyone else was. The rooms are starting to be updated (floors and paint). However, the furniture and the showers are old. Our room also had a horrible musty smell. The breakfast offers a lot of options and was good. For the price and location it is well worth it."

West Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"- staff provided excellent service! They were able to accommodate my request without question. - the room was large and the bathroom shower is the largest I've stayed at, excellent! -The room is very quiet even with lots of family visiting. - Always enjoy the hot breakfast - free open parking - I especially enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and decor. I'd recommend everyone to come visit and enjoy!"

The Cassara Carlsbad, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay! It was not too far of a walk to legoland, so convenient if you want to be close to the park and don’t want to pay the legoland hotel price definitely a better option! The kids enjoyed the pool area!"

MarBrisa Carlsbad Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Very modern well kept property. Great large pool and spa. Staff very helpful with our needs. Highly recommend this wonderful hotel and will plan several trips next year and many years to come."

Grand Pacific Palisades

8/10 Good

"This place definitely wasnt the worst, but it really needs some TLC. Our biggest issue though was that the supervisor (Naz) who checked us in told us that the childrens splash pad and pool area were closed for filter cleaning when we checked in on Tuesday, but that it would be open the next morning. So with this information we planned to have a resort day the following day and save our final day Thursday at Legoland so we could enjoy that area along with the rest of the amenities/ activities the resort had to offer. But the next morning that area that was closed remaind closed and when I called Naz at the front desk she said it would soon be opened up and that they were just doing the finishing touches. Hours later we get a text message saying the pool area would not be opened after all today (Wednesday) and that it wouldn't be open till Thursday morning. This made us very upset because had she told us the truth from the beginning we would of gone to Legoland on Wednesday instead while they were still working on that pool area. Then left Thursday as our resort day to enjoy the kids pool area. We did end up going to the pool area on Thursday after our Legoland trip but it was already very late in the evening and the kids at that point were shivering within 5 minutes of been in the pool and splash pad area. When I checked out on Friday morning I told them how upset I was and it seemed like they did not care on making things right. Won't ever be going to this resort ever again."

Villa Bahia Your Waterfront Private Beach Retreat in Beautiful Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"This was perfect for my sons 7th birthday. The home was fabulous, it was better than the pictures! It even had a toy/book/art room which our 3,5,& 7 year olds loved and were in there everyday. The rooms were all very spacious with great bathrooms. The Kitchen was beyond well stocked, including sticks for cooking marshmallows for Smores. The pool and spa were both very clean and we paid the extra for the heating which made it very nice. The private beach was especially nice with the paddle boards and kayaks. The home was very close to a grocery store which was nice if you forgot something. Whenever we have used VRBO the owners or managers really are what can make an enjoyable experience exceptional. In this case, beyond exceptional and a 10/10. We were coming for our sons birthday and they surprised us with a birthday gift basket on our arrival! It was stocked with bubble toys, wine, and all types of treats plus supplies for smores. We had a few questions and Cierra was ALWAYS very quick with responses to tall of our questions. ( thank you Cierra). The check our was the easiest I have ever had . We hope to make this a regular destination"
