Although the property is somewhat older. The room was comfortable. We were able to check in early. Breakfast was fine with many choices. Property located across the street from the beach .Carlsbad village is close by and there are many dining choices. Staff are pleasant and helpful.

I really liked the deck that you could sit at and see the ocean/beach. The staff was very nice. The breakfast was very good. The firepit was a plus. The room was very outdated and old, musty smell and the air conditioner never really worked and was noisy. The price was expensive for the type of rooms. The location was really nice.

Yikes all around

The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The location is great. But the rooms are horrible. The ac is so loud that it triggered my migraine, I slept poorly because it kept turning on with a tractor sound. The bathroom is so tight and old, dingy, I wouldn’t shower there even if you paid me. The elevator is rattling on the go, making you wonder if you will make it to your destination. The walls are paper thin, I could hear my neighbors chatting from my room. Some guests hung their filthy towels over the common stairs handles, those towels stayed untouched overnight. The parking spots are tight, though given the limited space it is predictable. I am never staying here again and I thoroughly regret doing so this time.
