4.0 / 10.0

Our room was comfortable and had everything necessary. Nice view of the pool. My only complaint is that the floor in the room was dirty. I felt like I needed to keep my flip flips on.

3.0 / 10.0

Staff was great. Our room had the worse mattress so loud every time you turned over it was hard to sleep. The day we checked out we were getting brown water that never stopped in our shower.

5.0 / 10.0

Such a great hotel for the price and location. You’re right across the street form the Carlsbad Outlets and the Flower Fields. The property is large and very lush so it feels like you’re somewhere else not at all near a mall. There’s also a direct connection with the Windmill Food Hall which is great for everyone. The pool is actually heated. So many places say theirs is and it’s not but this one was very comfortable. Rooms are very well upgraded. Only downside is the beds are super hard. Feels like a box spring with a thin mattress pad over it. Regardless it’s an excellent choice for the area.

4.0 / 10.0

It was great

1.0 / 10.0

Awful experience at this hotel. 1) the bed was hard as a rock. Worst bed I've ever tried to sleep on. 2) there was NO hot water in the shower or sink, and they wouldn't do anything to correct the problem (including moving us to another room. 3) the coffee machine didn't work The rooms look nice and updated in the pictures, but this place was probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed at and the front desk staff are lazy and unhelpful. Will never stay here again, and highly do NOT recommend!!

5.0 / 10.0

Room was spotless. All positive.

3.0 / 10.0

No, shuttle bus as advertised and no gym. Gym was closed due to fixing the lobby. The lobby is where the gym was. Overall great staff and rooms

2.0 / 10.0

The hotel has the appearance of an old motel. Aircon not working , too warm in the rooms. very loud/noisy area because of the Interstate nearby.

3.0 / 10.0

The air conditioner was stuck on and the room was freezing. A maintenance man fixed it but must have tripped a breaker while doing so. So now I have no lights in the bathroom that i did not discover until the middle of the night when I could not find the toilet. As if that wasn’t bad enough. I slept horribly and when I went to make coffee in the morning the machine was broke and splattered all over the place. It was overall a terrible experience and I would like a refund but I’m sure that’s not going to happen.

1.0 / 10.0

The air conditioning wasn’t working on through out the whole hotel, it was hot in the room we hardly got any sleep because of how hot it got inside hotel room, we asked for a fan and never got one. We called the desk and they said they would give us half off of our stay and I still haven’t gotten reimbursed.

4.0 / 10.0

Did not use any amenities. But if all fees are included in the price with Hotels.com why did the hotel charge me a resort fee?

2.0 / 10.0

To be honest everything was great. But we weren’t notified the AC wasn’t working when checking in. We found out as we got to our room. Other than that the staff was helpful.

4.0 / 10.0

The bathroom still had poop marks as if it wasn’t cleaned. There was 1 trashcan-only in the bathroom. The air conditioner wasn’t working for half of the stay. A note was left to leave our thermostat at 74 which was still quite warm. I thought I saw a note about a shuttle to Legoland but apparently that stopped sometime prior to our stay.

2.0 / 10.0

The AC was down for the entire property, and no notice of warning was sent out, and we were also not notified during check in. There was an unexpected amenity fee, when amenities were scarce. Worst of all, there were so many mosquitos in our room. I killed at least 5 and got no sleep. It made the stay uncomfortable and made the point of an overnight stay pointless, as we were hoping to be well rested for the morning at Legoland instead of waking up early to drive down.

1.0 / 10.0

Wen I rived to check in the no’t have room Available

3.0 / 10.0

We stayed for our honeymoon and specifically booked a king size bed. Got to the hotel and they only gave us a room with 2 queen beds calling it a “upgrade”. It wasn’t an upgrade. Also they don’t disclose online that parking cost $10 a night.

4.0 / 10.0

The jaccuzzi was hot but the jets did not work. The second night there were no towels available outside. I misunderstood and thought the hotel Was on the ocean/beach as the photos showed lawn chairs next to the ocean. That was the main reason we booked so we could be next to ocean.

5.0 / 10.0

Wonderful heated pool. Cute property. Friendly staff. Very clean. Recently renovated. Lots of restaurants and eateries near by. Short drive to the beach.

4.0 / 10.0

Conditions were bad.

2.0 / 10.0

Checked in, provided keys and upon arrival to room, was being cleaned for another 30 minutes. Grounds border the interstate, very noisy. Grounds are also for weddings and have a food court, high traffic and police presence due to location. Priced at around 170 a night, should be more like 120-130 as the bathrooms are very gross. Black mildew or mold all over and the shower makes a mess. Low quality towels. I was bamboozled by the higher reviews on this spot but this hotel is not a 3 star, it is a 2 star for sure. Never staying at this place again. My room even had ants because there’s no bottom door seals to the front door. Felt like a motel 6. Motel 6 might even put this place to shame. Spend a few more dollars somewhere else if you have any kind of standards

4.0 / 10.0

The staff was friendly and amazing. The location was perfect. Close to many restaurants and Legoland.

5.0 / 10.0

Nice clean and comfortable

10.0 / 10.0

The staff were great, we stayed for 3 nights, we were allowed to check in early in the first day. When we checked out, the shuttle took us to legoland with our luggages and 2 strollers. I love that they have the shuttle service, restaurants are nearby like the windmill hall, pf chang, restaurants by the outlet stores. I wish i had time to shop. The outlet stores is just in front of the hotel.

5.0 / 10.0

Clean and friendly staff

3.0 / 10.0

We stayed for tow nights and The location (across the street from the Outlet) and Property in general are really good! But the maintenance and room smell was not so well, the pool was not clean and the room door was difficult to open cause the material was too old and got stuck! also I ask two times for blankets cause the night before was chilly, and they brought them dirty! And the last thing was that they didn’t made the room after the first night, when I asked for it they told me that it was necessary to ask for it at de check in, but I was never notified at that moment!
