Staff was above and beyond amazing. Facility is gorgeous, spacious and pleasing to the eyes. We always enjoy the food at waters edge, ponto lago and ember ant rye. I wasn’t thrilled with the fish and chips at pacific point. But husband loved the buns and the kids enjoyed their food

Staff are very nice. We stopped here after a long drive from Washington State and right when we are about to park our car won’t start and we didn’t get to park our car with u-haul in the back. And the guy at front desk that time which is between 12am-2am let us park the u-haul on the side while we are waiting for the tow to get our truck and take it to the nearest car shop. The workers that working on the office roof helped my husband to move the u-haul so it won’t be in the way of everything while we are waiting for our car to get tow and fix. We end up staying 2 nights and didn’t worry about anything since we can see our u-haul just outside our room.

I live in the region. Carlsbad the city was not the issue. It was Studio 6 that was disappointing. The advertisement on booking.com for this facility is inaccurate, downright wrong. When was the last time anyone from booking.com actually visited the property?Booking.com reputation is based on reviews from customers that use your services. Please, I implore you to have someone visit this property. This property is not a good representation of the city and of booking.com.

Calsbad is a quaint village with walkable night life restaurants and bars. Only north Carlsbad has limited beach access due to houses built on the bluff, the majority of the town, everything south of Carlsbad Village Dr and north of Cannon Rd is unobstructed public access. South Carlsbad has several good surfing spots, and don't forget about Legoland.

Loved that restaurants, shopping. and the beach are within walking distance. From the Tamarack Beach Resort, we were able to walk to the Daily News for breakfast, the Harbor Cafe for lunch, and have dinner at the hotel adjacent Dini’s. Enjoyed the beautiful plants and flowers that thrive in Carlsbad.

Carlsbad is a fantastic location, especially for those looking for budget-friendly accommodations. I found some cheaper hotels that are conveniently close to LEGOLAND and the Carlsbad Premium Outlets, making it a perfect spot for a quick getaway. The area offers a nice balance of attractions and amenities, so it’s ideal for a one-night stay. Whether you're visiting with family or just passing through, you’ll find everything you need nearby without breaking the bank. Overall, I recommend this area for anyone looking for a quick trip!

It's mostly an upscale suburban community.

It's mostly an upscale suburban community. Lots of nice grocery stores and other shopping. I was there because my Sister and Niece live there. When I'm visiting with my wife, we like Oceanside. In some ways it's better for tourists. But it does not have the great grocery and other stores that Carlsbad has.

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.

Terrible place to stay. Dirty, no hot water and broken air conditioner. There was sand in the bed! I was so uncomfortable at how gross this place was that I couldn’t sleep. Can not understand why people like this buy hotels. It’s obvious they don’t care about running a good business just making money.

The hotel is EXCELLENT for kids. The party-elevator is fantastic! Kids being able to build things all over the place, and staff exchanging minifigs is super fun for them. Also, walking a couple hundred metres to the park entrance is a big plus!
