Arthur

United Kingdom, February 2024

6.0/10

The hotel is like a mini paradise on top of the hill next to the beach, perfect for families with kids. However, it was disappointing to find the room in poor condition, with cleanliness issues and signs of wear and tear. The service was a mix of extremely courteous staff and some unfriendly encounters. The location was convenient for beach and shopping but had drawbacks like inconsistent water temperature. Dining options were limited and mostly off-site, impacting the overall experience.

6.8/10

The hotel is like a mini paradise on top of the hill next to the beach and our kids' favorite park, Legoland. The rooms are large with a full kitchen, lots of storage space, and beautiful ocean views, especially in the spring with the flower fields in bloom. However, some minor issues with the remote control on the TV and the malfunctioning iron slightly affected our experience.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms are spacious and offer stunning ocean views. The full kitchen and ample storage space were convenient for our family.

Service

7.0

The customer service was exceptional, although there were a few instances where our requests were forgotten. The staff tried to upsell a return trip with a timeshare presentation, which was a bit pushy.

Location

8.0

The location is great, offering peaceful surroundings, excellent ocean views, and easy access to shopping, food choices, and the beach within a short drive. However, the constant noise from trucks backing up was a drawback.

Dining

5.0

The dining options were limited, and we had to go out of the hotel to a restaurant that felt more like a bar food location. The pricing for meals seemed high compared to standard hotel rates.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities provided, like room service, car hire, and valet parking, were satisfactory. However, accessibility could be better, and the quality of the restaurant did not match the pricing.

Upon arrival, the room wasn't ready until well past 6 pm, which was a bit inconvenient. Despite the delay, the room was very comfortable, especially the bed. However, it seemed to be designed for handicapped guests and lacked a modern touch.

The service was a mix of forgetting parts of our food order but being overall helpful and accommodating. It felt like they didn't make extra efforts to correct mistakes, which might be due to management.

Location

The hotel is situated outside Carlsbad Village in a corporate business park close to Legoland. It offers a good location, but some noise and messiness are present.

Dining

The dining experience was not satisfactory, as the food was terrible and cold. It was also not ideal to hear construction workers talking about their lunch while dining in the hotel.
