Best Western Carlsbad by the Sea

Best Western Carlsbad by the Sea

10/10 Excellent
"This was a great 3 night stay at this Best Western Hotel in Carlsbad, Ca. The hotel was easy to access and located very near the ocean. The room was very large, the bed was very comfortable, parking was always near the room. The breakfast was very good, lots of choices, and staff was quick to replenish any thing that ran out. The pool and hot tub were very nice. Check in was quick and easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. No complaints at all."
