LEGOLAND California Hotel

"Loved it!"

Carlsbad Seapointe Resort

8/10 Good

"Property has come good amenities but some of them were not working like the elevator, the hot tubs and the mini golf. The hotel will call you the day off and tell you they don’t have your room available because a “pipe burst” and try to put you in a different room. We had the 2 bedroom reserved and they put us in two separate rooms. This has happened to us a few years prior with the same “pipe burst” excuse."

"We had a great stay at the Westin Carlsbad while attending a wedding there. The location was convenient, the staff was very accommodating, and the bed was extremely comfortable.
