Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

David

United States, April 2024

7.6/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was beautiful, right across from the beach with an amazing view, but the noise from kids running around in the room above me was quite bothersome. The service was exceptional on weekdays, with staff going above and beyond, but I encountered unresponsiveness from some staff who refused to take responsibility. The dining options were varied but required additional fees for parking and amenities. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.

Rooms

7.0

My room, located on the top floor with a balcony overlooking the ocean, offered a stunning view. However, it was very noisy due to kids running around in the room above me.

Service

8.0

The staff here are exceedingly friendly and so helpful. While some went above and beyond, others were unresponsive and unwilling to accept responsibility.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location is simply beautiful, right across from the beach with a magnificent view of the Pacific ocean. However, it is not within walking distance of downtown Carlsbad, requiring a 10-15 minute drive.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience had its ups and downs. While I appreciated the variety, the additional fees for parking and amenities were unexpected and led to some inconveniences.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel boasts impressive facilities, but the noise from the parking lot view in certain areas was a downside.

7.0/10

The hotel is conveniently located near the coast, offering an active atmosphere but not within walking distance to downtown Carlsbad. The rooms were average with some room for improvement like trash in the trash can, and the price seemed slightly high for the quality. The staff provided a unique and friendly experience, playing reggae music throughout the day. The dining options were limited, but the presence of a welcoming and lively ceremony lawn, patio, and dining space added to the overall appeal of the location.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were in decent shape, but had some trash in the trash can which was off-putting.

Service

9.0

The staff was quite personable and extremely friendly, providing a unique touch with reggae music playing throughout the day.

Location

7.0

The location exceeded expectations with a lively atmosphere, but required a drive to downtown Carlsbad. It was a good spot for attending events like the KAABOO Music Festival, although reserving cabanas early was necessary.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was limited with only room service available for most days, and the advertised continental breakfast or food credit was misleading.

Facilities

8.0

The facilities included a ceremony lawn, a patio for cocktail hour, and a dining space for receptions with dancing, providing a festive setting.

My stay was a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the pool and hot tub were great, and I enjoyed a nice walk on the beach. However, my room wasn't ready until a bit late, around 3:00 AM. The front desk was friendly, but seemed understaffed for a busy weekend.

Rooms

8.0

My room was nice and clean, and I had a great time enjoying the pool and hot tub. The beach walk added to the experience.

Service

7.0

The service was good overall, especially thanks to Amanda and Merlot for making my weekend wonderful. The restaurant staff were friendly and helpful.

Location

9.0

The hotel is amazing and very close to town, offering lots of common areas perfect for family gatherings. The proximity to Chandlers restaurant was a nice touch.

Dining

6.0

I had a mixed dining experience. The service was not as welcoming initially, but improved after speaking with the manager. The meal at Chandler's restaurant was decent, but the room service delivery was a bit cold.

Facilities

The hotel provides ample common area spaces for gatherings, including oversized high top tables and seating around the firepit.
