Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach

10/10 Excellent

"It was excellent"

LEGOLAND California Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"At first we got there it took us about 2 to 4 hours to get checked in because he couldn’t find our reservation. We finally got checked in. It was too late for us to go to the park because they were closing. and then when we got to our room, we were supposed to have four beds in a pullout mattress and there was bunkbeds and a king bed that’s it and when we finally got to the Legoland theme park only about 35 to 40% of the rides were open everything was being serviced or closed and their waterpark was also closed and wait to hear about when we finally made it to the waterpark the next day so after they told us that the waterpark was closed on Thursday when we got there, we were going to wait the next day Legoland hotel did not wanna accommodate us for a late checkout because they said it wasn’t their fault that the waterpark was closed on Thursdays, but when I bought the hotel stay, they said the waterpark was open so now me and my family had to jump through some hoops just to make it to the waterpark and also I wanted to add that our room was hot Then on Thursday when we wanted to use the pool, the pool was also closed so now we couldn’t even go to the pool or the waterpark so the next day passed and our checkout was at 11 so me and my family decided to go walk around theme park and check it out for a bit before we have to check out and we need to go to the waterpark.So when we finally got to the waterpark on Friday,only about 15%of the rides were open,everything else closed"

West Inn & Suites

6/10 Okay

"Great people serve West Inn and Suites. Rooms are cleaned well, the breakfast team runs a tight ship and everyone is friendly. The hot tub does not work and should be removed from the features list. Someone stole the ping pong paddles and apparently no one is authorized to order from Amazon. The pool is not heated. The building is dated and the restaurant is closed. Time to invest in fixing the important things at this location. Turning over a driver's license to borrow the ping pong paddles is not too much to ask. The location is between the train tracks and the I-5. Easy walk to Carlsbad beach. Loved the free underground parking. Hope the West Family invests in their ammenities."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

8/10 Good

"The campus was clean enough for tired travelers attending a soccer tournament to not notice details. The double bed room for four was clean, tight and manageable and the shower/bathroom was clean. They provided enough towels and switched out towels with just a phone call to room service, we really didn't need our room to be attended. The elevator was clean and not abused by visitors. Breakfast downstairs was sufficient for a light snack and the coffee was good as well. We didn't have time for the small pool, jacuzzi and fitness room. The front desk staff was polite and very helpful."
