Great bang for your buck! Clean and comfortable with a great breakfast. Far exceeded our expectations. Rooms are on the smaller side and stuffy when we walked in, but once we turned in the air it was very pleasant. We will be back.

Within 10 min walk to the beach, 10 minute drive to Carlsbad village and 5 minute away from the outlets. It was convenient for our purpose of visit. Breakfast options are nice (they had biscuits with gravy and egg with cheese omelette), plus the standard continental breakfast. Our room was on the smaller side but still good. Overall, a nice stay!

The night staff was polite, the facility was clean quiet and safe. There are no USB charging i the rooms or lobby and the shower door handle was missing a screw so it was hanging off. The morning desk clerk was not very friendly but the breakfast cook was exceptional. Overall this would not be a place to stay if you are on a business trip. The wifi was horrible..

The place was nice. Nothing fancy. No smart tv which made watching tv at night challenging. There was no shelf in the shower to put your personal toiletries and no towel rack to hang hand towels. But it was clean. They provided cleaning services daily. Breakfast in the morning was great. Daily variety so you weren’t eating the same thing every morning. Very close to the beach.
