    while Carlsbad is a lovely city to see, we did not have enough time to walk around, drive around. We were there for a specific reason, and that took all of our time. From what I heard the flower gardens are suppose to be gorgeous.

    Carlsbad is a quaint small town that is worthy of one-day’s exploration. The greater Carlsbad, including the beaches, flower fields and activities off downtown area can probably filled another couple days’ time. However, I probably will become bored if spending more than three days in the area.

    It is a sleepy town where most of the restaurants and bars shutdown by 10:30 - 11:30 or earlier even on the weekends. If you want entertainment or nightlife you have to leave the area and head to towns to the north or south. The big attraction is the beach and some of the boutique restaurants and shops.

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first:

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first: - The rooms are dirty and in disrepair. My shower turned into a bath. - The freeway is loud, so you hear cars all night - The shuttle only starts at 9:30am and runs every 20 minutes. Need to call at 7am to get on the calendar. 11 people to a shuttle. - Breakfast options are very slim which means you need to venture out to feed yourself. The market next door isn't geared towards breakfast, leaving you starbucks. The good: - The location is only 4-5 minute drive to Legoland. Super fast and easy. We decided to forgo the shuttle and just park at the park early (avoid traffic) and eat at a Legoland hotel. Just need to reserve spot on open table night before. - The pool is nice. Kids loved it. - Great air conditioning in the room. Overall, I would rather just pay a little extra and stay at Legoland if you are going to go to Legoland. If you aren't going to Legoland, I don't know why you would stay at this hotel at all. The hotel goes for a hard value play, but it is a 2 star hotel at best for me.

    Well, Summertime is very busy.

    Well, Summertime is very busy. Good for finding places to eat. Not so good finding beaches to sit on. Or finding Dog Beaches. Hard to find parking for the beach. Got to get there early. Warm weather inland made for humid weather at the coast. Windmill Food Hall was a great place to eat. As was Benihana and The Green Dragon. Primo Pizza was good too. Beaches were crowded and expect to pay for parking there. If you have one good day at the beach consider yourself lucky.

    Beautiful location, walking distance to Legoland, and close to many conveniences and sights. Very family oriented, which suited our needs. There js a pool for kids and one for adults, a small game room, laundry, BBQs etc. It’s some sort it hotel/timeshare resort hybrid. Our room was nicely updated, and clean. A free shuttle to close by locations is offered, which was useful to us since we came without a car. The walking path behind the hotel that overlooks the ocean and the seasonal flower fields was a great bonus.

    Beautiful place to stay, clean and quiet, lovely designed, every room is special. Easy walk to Carlsbad Village and the beach. It was a big surprise how relaxed everything and everyone is around here, we extended for another night, very much recommended! It is a self-service self-checkin with no reception but this worked so easy- much better than some overstaffed hotels. A bit like a cottage.

    This is an older property that has been remodeled inside nicely. It is located just two block north of where all the Bars and Restaurants are located in Carlsbad Village. This area is very up scale beach town. Most hotels in the area are charging well into the $150 to $300 per night. So to only pay $67 total for a nice room in this upper class town is fantastic!

    We loved staying at the Legoland Hotel. They had so many activities lined up for the kids! I loved how we can cross over to the Castle Hotel and have my toddler play in their playground. It was so nice to be able to relax and let my kids play while I sat and watched them. My 3 year old really enjoyed the dance party at night also!

    $28 self parking fee per day is ridiculous, rooms are decent but nothing to write home about. I was in town to visit Callaway Golf which is nearby and did not realize Legoland was literally right next door to hotel. Advertised rate of $204 per night ended up costing $610 with taxes and fees.

    We ended up staying at the last minute after evacuating from our originally booked hotel because of forest fires. Bar was nice but closed pretty early. Big comfy rooms, food in restaurant was excellent. Gym was well equipped, way better than we would expect from a resort gym.
