    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.

    beautiful location right across pch. Close to restaurants (5 min), close to Carlsbad Village (10 min). Hotel was clean and beds were comfortable. To our surprise they had EV charging! One free level 2 charger and 1 quick charging station (paid). Food available on site as well if you are feeling lazy about stepping out. Although we didn’t use the service, but they also provide bike rentals. Overall, wonderful stay.

    The hotel is a very nice complex with a kind of little park within and a nice pool. The rooms are okay and spacious. The personal was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the room was only cleaned once in 7 nights (see below), but we got always new towels when we wanted it. Also, the shuttle service works very well. The manager personally took me once to the city.

    Location to Legoland. Full breakfast, close to parking lot. Comfy pillows, the heated pool and relaxing spa AND the microwave is a BONUS! Not many hotels have microwaves, it seems. We stayed at the Legoland Castle before, and those rooms don't have microwaves in it and for those prices. We will be back at La Quinta Inn; this location again with my family.

    Stayed many years at Carlsbad Inn but in the time share places. I booked hotel for 1 night. Was very disappointed when we got in the room. It smelled old and moldy. These rooms could use some tlc and updating and ac mold inspections. Not interested in staying in the hotel section again. Was a bummer for the room. The rest was fine

    We loved staying at the Legoland Hotel. They had so many activities lined up for the kids! I loved how we can cross over to the Castle Hotel and have my toddler play in their playground. It was so nice to be able to relax and let my kids play while I sat and watched them. My 3 year old really enjoyed the dance party at night also!
