Good times!
If you, like us, are headed out to the beach and Legoland, it really doesn't get any better. The location is fantastic, the ammenities are really great, the staff are incredibly nice. The walls are a bit thin and the matresses could be better, but overall, this resort (for the price) is great!

Short walk from hotel
King's Fish House is one of the best family friendly sea food restaurants I have ever been to. The kids menu cannot be beat in both what it features foodwise and in activities and entertainment. The sushi was amazing. The choppino to die for, and the clam chowder was the best I have ever eaten. Do not miss the chance to eat here!

Hotel in Carlsbad
We had a great experience. Everything was great. The only problems were that we had a had time located the hotel because the entrance is not on the street of the address. The location was perfect. It was close to shopping the beach and restaurants. We were disappointed in the breakfast.

Good location but hotel needs some serious renovations. Convenient shuttle (van) to Legoland and average continental breakfast.

The ocean is just over the bridge and down the road a short drive. Oceanside, Ca. is about a 15 - 20 min. drive up the coast.

Good location, Old facility,
Here for 4 day business trip. Best part of this hotel was the location. Easy freeway access, lots of places to eat and shop that are near by. Rooms inside were updated enough but exterior of hotel and basic building was truly OLD. Also, got put on 2nd floor and there is NO elevator. I have my foot in a cast and had to lug my suitcase up a flight of stairs not to mention I had to get myself up and down the stairs each day. I did was unaware they did not have an elevator so I didn't know to ask for a bottom room at check in. Once we discovered the problem the staff did not offer to move me to an easy access room ;( they just said sorry. All in all it was still a good room for the price I paid. Just wish staff would have gone the extra mile to help me while I was in a cast up to my knee.

Gracous staff!!
Near Legoland and had a shuttle which helped. Nice pool, rooms sufficient - had frig, micro and coffee maker! My only complaint is that the coffee wasn't too good in room or for breakfast but there was a Starbucks across the road!! We were located near the back and the sliding door and patio looked out onto a lovely grassy area with a gazebo and lovely trees - our 4 year old had such fun running around the grass with other kids. Breakfast was generous. We used the attached restaurant (TGIF?)twice and were satisfied - kid friendly and convenient since we were tired out from Legoland. Most of all the lovely woman at the desk was very patient withme when I kept asking for directions over and over and calling from Legolnd before I knew where the pick up area was. Everyone at the desk area was patient and gracious and the shuttle drivers pleasant and friendly. (there may be a wait for the shuttle but not long)I would go back there in a minute and recommend it to anyone, especially with kids and location near Legoland. Orbitz gave me a good deal on the price too. Very satisfied.

breakfast included and restaurant on the grounds was reasonable and kid friendly. If you're tired from Legoland, this helps. There's anoter restaurant nearby and a mall with a Starbucks across the road and if you want stronger coffee, it helps!!

labor day weekend getaway
We had a good experience at this resort. Staff was friendly & helpful. The hot breakfast was decent & convenient. The bed was very comfortable and room was clean. We also did some shopping at the outlets, which we walked to across the street. The only we would've changed was that there were no elevators.

There's an excellent eatery located across Palomar rd inside a meat market. Its hidden but its fresh and you can't beat the value.
