Top South Carlsbad State Beach Hotel Reviews

Carlsbad By The Sea Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Under construction."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very close to Legoland. The room was clean, and the property is well-kept. However, the pool is very small; I chose not to use it; it appears larger online, but it is very small. The hotel is very close to the freeway, and you can hear the freeway noise all night. Overall, the stay was good."

Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA - East

8/10 Good

"Cleaning staff was friendly. Room floor was dirty when we arrived like it hadn’t been mopped. The frig was a plus. Our room’s AC was not working so it did make it uncomfortable to stay in. I know it’s not their responsibility to clean up after guests pets but there was a lot of feces in the grass from pets and owners not cleaning up after them. Location is good and right next to the freeway entrance and within walking distance to restaurants. Only other downside is one parking pass so staying while in between places and having two cars, we were worried about the second car being towed. There’s no nearby parking to park off site which is what the front desk manager said to do."

Carlsbad Seapointe Resort

4/10 Poor

"Negatives: Paid in full via Expedia before arrival and was supposed to only pay daily resort fees at property. Front desk billed me IN FULL again upon arrival, even though I questioned it that had already paid when booked and they credited my card back after checkout. Poor business practice to be double billed and then refund credit card back! Property needs updating - kitchen appliances were in poor shape, carpet was old and worn and several cosmetic items/poor maintenance. Microwaveable popcorn gift in kitchen was expired over 5 months ago, living room furniture was filthy, and unknown person’s hair in main bathroom upon arrival. Extremely noisy in unit (no insulation between floors) and train noise from outside. For a short trip (3 nights) wasn’t worth complaining about - just won’t be staying here again. Positives: Great location by beach and most everything you need in short driving distance. 2 bedroom has 2 full bathrooms and is very spacious. "
