3.0 / 10.0
The staff was nice to us and even let us have breakfast after they closed. The location was great.
Things like the body wash, tissues, toilet paper were not refilled. No cleaning was done during our entire stay (4 nights). The kitchen had NOTHING, that's not an exaggeration. No dish soap for the sink, no utensils, no paper towel. Absolutely nothing. The room was very worn and out of date. The bed was uncomfortable and only a very thin blanket was on it.

Great location across from the beach.
I thought they charged too much to park.
4.0 / 10.0
the location is about all that i liked and the fire pit. parking was a plus. there is not much else that i would like to say but your forcing me to write more...
the construction happening was not optimal. The bed sucks and the pillows and the sheets and the towels were horrible. Everything in the room needs renovation. There was rust everywhere. The AC was terrible.
5.0 / 10.0
The location is fantastic.
Property is old and worn. Could use some TLC. Simple improvements like working window blinds and screens would help. Also, there were no grab bars in bathroom making getting in and out of the tub in an extremely small bath dangerous. The cost of parking was a bit excessive considering there was no security.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in every way. The location can't be beat, the breakfast was good, and the room was also wonderful. We travel back to Carlsbad a lot now that don't live there anymore, and this is where we'll stay from now on.
Everything was great.

Very close to the beach, friendly staff, free beach toys, chairs, and umbrellas to borrow. Good breakfast. Beautiful views.
High chair needed in the breakfast room. We had to hold our 12 month old as she tried to crawl all over the place while we ate breakfast.

It's hard to beat this view and the proximity to so many great restaurants and bars. Everyone was so friendly, and the woman who handles the daily breakfast is the best. So enjoyable!

Standard fare. The staff member attending to guests coming in for breakfast was very helpful and kind.
I was surprised by the steps in the walkways. It was difficult to maneuver my suitcase from my room to the elevator.

Almost perfect stay! The Best Western Plus Beach View Lodge in Carlsbad exceeded expectations in so many ways — the breakfast was great, customer service was warm and attentive, and the location couldn’t be better. It’s close to everything yet just far enough to feel peaceful and quiet.
I especially loved the fire pit area and the ocean view, which made mornings and evenings feel extra special. The only downside was the super tight parking spaces — definitely manageable, just a bit tricky if you have a larger vehicle.
Overall, an amazing spot for a relaxing getaway. I’d absolutely stay here again! 🌊🔥
Tight parking spaces and not complementary as advertised.

Location; breakfast option; balcony overlooking the beach
No heads up regarding extra fee for parking that is readily available on site. Gauging!

The property was very clean: the flowers were pretty and the ladies in the breakfast serving area were very helpful and friendly. In addition, we could walk to restaurants; the shops and the beach!
The only negative thing I can think of is there are a lot of steps on the property which was difficult for my Mom to get around. We had no other complaints.

The property was very clean and quiet. Our room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The ladies that made the breakfast were very friendly and offered their assistance to whatever we needed.
I wish they had more than 1 luggage carrier to get our luggage from our room to our car.

The staff was awesome. This is a great location. The distance to the beach and the village is so close, 2 minute beach walk and 5 minute walk to the village. The parking is also good for the hotel.

Location to the beach
Outrageous price for value!!! Place is a dump-old converted apartment building. Could not access the elevator with the only one luggage cart. Extremely difficult for people with any kind of mobility or handicap. Bathroom was a joke. Air conditioning was worthless.
