The hotel (our room -104-)seemed dated and the bathroom floor was dirty. The sheets and blanket seemed old and not soft. If you are placed in room 102, 103 or 104 ask to be moved because you will hear the parking gate below you creaking open and shut all day/night long

This is a super convenient location. A short walk to everything! It is an older property so that’s evident from some of the furniture and the rooms have a musty damp smell. We’ve been there before and it didn’t bother us much. We opened the patio door for fresh air.

Great location. Across the street from Carlsbad State Beach. Easy to walk to restaurants and shops. The ocean view is worth it with a big patio. The room was big with a nice bathroom and king bed. Nice hot water in the shower. Will stay again

We encountered several staff members during our stay and everyone we met or passed by had a friendly smile and a greeting. The landscaping, housekeeping staff, front desk and breakfast cook all made a point to say hello and offer assistance. It was really refreshing. The grounds were well kept, the jacuzzi was especially relaxing, we liked our room too. Great job.

We loved the location and the hotel was clean and quite nice. The only thing that needs improvement is the breakfast. Awkward set up and the food was average at best. If you improved the coffee and served actual cream with it, that would be a big upgrade!
