The absolute QUIETEST hotel we have EVER stayed in, and the place was full of kids! Same exit as LegoLand so we expected kids and it to be loud. We stayed for an entire week and never heard anything! Occasionally hear the train, but was muffled. Staff was incredibly friendly, and I mean all of them! Even just passing in the hallways or elevators, they would great you and smile. Just not what we expected. Pool heater was not working, but the weather permitted cooler water anyway. Beach was just a couple blocks down the road. Carlsbad village is 2 miles down the road. Outlets are just as close. Close to everything, yet nestled in an oddly quiet corner next to the freeway that we never heard. Will absolutely stay here again. Oh and the cost was so incredibly reasonable compared to what was available in the area at the time I booked. Bravo!

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!

It’s my 2nd stay here with my 5 year old. We love it for our Lego Land visits. A 5 minute drive to Lego land, 5 minute drive to the flower fields. Lots of food option a 5 minute drive away at the outlets. Free and ample parking. Clean rooms, great breakfast included.
