This was our first time staying here and we had such a nice time. From checking in and interacting with Fred at the front desk, we found the staff to be friendly and efficient. The star was the proximity to the beach and how easy it was to walk into town. We hardly needed our car while we were there. Great weather made Sept a great time to visit beautiful Carlsbad. We'll be back!

Hotel is in a great spot…across the street from the beach! Perfect to see sunsets!! Parking is easy under the building, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Pool area is nice, outside of property is nice. A/C worked fine, beds ok, not great, rooms need updating. Bathrooms need work, our room had an odd smell not sure if it was coming from the A/C but it was an issue for me. Staff was friendly.
