    while Carlsbad is a lovely city to see, we did not have enough time to walk around, drive around. We were there for a specific reason, and that took all of our time. From what I heard the flower gardens are suppose to be gorgeous.

    Carlsbad is a quaint small town that is worthy of one-day’s exploration. The greater Carlsbad, including the beaches, flower fields and activities off downtown area can probably filled another couple days’ time. However, I probably will become bored if spending more than three days in the area.

    It is a sleepy town where most of the restaurants and bars shutdown by 10:30 - 11:30 or earlier even on the weekends. If you want entertainment or nightlife you have to leave the area and head to towns to the north or south. The big attraction is the beach and some of the boutique restaurants and shops.

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first:

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first: - The rooms are dirty and in disrepair. My shower turned into a bath. - The freeway is loud, so you hear cars all night - The shuttle only starts at 9:30am and runs every 20 minutes. Need to call at 7am to get on the calendar. 11 people to a shuttle. - Breakfast options are very slim which means you need to venture out to feed yourself. The market next door isn't geared towards breakfast, leaving you starbucks. The good: - The location is only 4-5 minute drive to Legoland. Super fast and easy. We decided to forgo the shuttle and just park at the park early (avoid traffic) and eat at a Legoland hotel. Just need to reserve spot on open table night before. - The pool is nice. Kids loved it. - Great air conditioning in the room. Overall, I would rather just pay a little extra and stay at Legoland if you are going to go to Legoland. If you aren't going to Legoland, I don't know why you would stay at this hotel at all. The hotel goes for a hard value play, but it is a 2 star hotel at best for me.

    Well, Summertime is very busy.

    Well, Summertime is very busy. Good for finding places to eat. Not so good finding beaches to sit on. Or finding Dog Beaches. Hard to find parking for the beach. Got to get there early. Warm weather inland made for humid weather at the coast. Windmill Food Hall was a great place to eat. As was Benihana and The Green Dragon. Primo Pizza was good too. Beaches were crowded and expect to pay for parking there. If you have one good day at the beach consider yourself lucky.

    You obviously can't beat the location--it's DIRECTLY across the street from the ocean, North Ponto Beach and eventually South Carlsbad State Beach. You are also about 1-2 miles from Carlsbad Village and all it has to offer and other popular attractions like Legoland. The room itself was on par with other Hilton Garden Inn properties--reasonable size--extras like a mini fridge & microwave. The were even nice enough to give me a room with a "peek-a-boo view" of the ocean at no additional charge.

    Smart relatively new hotel. Excellent location for my business. Room was a studio but big clean and airy. Really good value for money as hotels in Carlsbad expensive in the summer. Only stayed one night so they refunded me for the second one without question. Hallway and room lighting was on PIR so no fumbling for lights in a strange room in the middle of the night. Nice idea. Will definitely stay here next time I'm in the area.

    The hotel is VERY clean, the rooms are large, the beds were VERY comfortable (prior back issues so I'm picky), and the staff were extremely polite and helpful. The location is quick and easy access to the I-5 and all of downtown Carlsbad. We were extremely pleased with this hotel as we weren't sure what to expect in this budget range. I also used their laundry and it was nice and clean.

    This hotel is in a great, central location. You're less than 10 minutes from the I-5 and Legoland, outlets, gas stations, and shopping (Costco, Starbucks, food options, stores, etc.) You're also very close to the Palomar Airport (as aviation fans, this was a plus but the noise might be a negative for someone else.)

    Very close to Legoland, we went for the day and it was a short drive to the hotel after. The room was awesome! We got two rooms, the king and the king suite. Both have a great layout and everything is updated. It even has a full size walk in shower instead of those usual small ones!
