Great stay for the price!

My wife and I have stayed at West Inn and Suites in Carlsbad multiple times and it has become our go to when we visit there. It's clean and well serviced. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are very well maintained and laid out. My wife and I enjoyed the complimentary breakfasts while there. We like that it is situated in a quiet area, but only a short drive to the beach and the village. There are restaurants and shopping nearby. What I particularly like is the price is hard to beat for what you get. Other hotels in the area with similar amenities are twice the price or more. We will definitely stay at West Inn and Suites when we return to the area.

The common area/lounge did not have any games or activities for families with kids to enjoy, lots of empty shelves and cabinets. The outdoor area needs to be updated including the uneven turf around the ping-pong table and the slotted fence where the ping-pong balls constantly fall through. There is lots of space to hang out however with plenty of comfortable seating. i would suggest bringing your own games and activities and you will have a great visit!
