Perfect family spot! Or couples! Or anyone.
We had an absolutely amazing stay. The staff are helpful and welcoming. Our room was clean and comfortable. We took full advantage of the pillow menu, coffee maker choices, and petite breakfast. The breakfast is very well done and delicious. It’s not as small as you might think. It was perfect to take to our balcony and eat in front of the ocean. There were dolphins who like to swim around right outside our room. The beach was a bit rocker than I anticipated but that didn’t take away from anything. W loved the beach and the toys/chairs they provided. Location is perfect. We will definitely be back and highly recommended.

Best Stay Ever
Took our office staff for a weekend getaway, the hotel is in perfect location, close to all you need in Carlsbad. I’ll age, many restaurants, flat and clean Carlsbad Walk, free bikes to use and clean as it can be, simple but tasteful breakfast, I would highly highly recommend to family and couples. Pool is warm an tons of ocean view and surf.
