Great
GGuest UserThe hotel was very clean. The only issue is the bedrooms were a little small and there is no house keeping every day. So you will have to make up your bed and take out your own trash. House keeping on 2nd or 3rd day of stay so basically when you check out. Th e food was outstanding and they have many selections for all types of eaters. I just wished they had actual creamers not syrups. Either way I will be staying there again if going that route in our vacation again. Front desk are very nice and helpful. The pool was very clean and jacuzzi was very nice also. Over all a great hotel stay.

LLEIThe rooms are very large and clean. The pool is divided into adults and children. The children must go to the children's pool every day. There is a great beer house restaurant at the entrance of the hotel. You can solve the problem by visiting Legoland. Outlet is less than 5 minutes drive from the hotel, recommend the Grand Pacific Hotel to Legoland, walk no more than 10 minutes

SSasa1981Perfect location in downtown Carlsbad. An easy walk to anything you may possibly need.
The Jacuzzi unfortunately, was not heating properly when we were there, so was not able to enjoy.
The pool is in the front of the Resort next to a very popular restaurant. It’s not very quiet and not relaxing to set at.  they have a beautiful green lawn that overlooks the ocean with lots of lounging chairs that is decently, quiet and relaxing.
The elevator is slow and old, and I preferred to use the stairs.
 the king size bed was very comfortable to sleep in.
We enjoyed having a little kitchen that we were able to keep leftover food in and reheat .

YYABreakfast is OK, you can park for free, I play with my friends, safe. Very close to Legoland. The standard room is 2 beds, each bed is relatively large, can sleep 2 adults, my friends and their children, 4 people a room. Good value for money.

GGANGThe location is good, the price is good, and the room has a microwave. Opposite the hotel is the beach, with very good sea views. Please note that there is a parking fee. Very close to the outlet. The outlets have Panda fast food, you can buy fried noodles back in the microwave. Hotel management needs to be strengthened. The waiter knocks on the door twice in the morning and rushes into the room.

MMaijingyouyuanliaolaizhaowoWas woken up early in the morning by the alarm and asked the counter staff what happened? It is said that there is a family trip of mainland Chinese in the room smoking in the room 🚬 causing the fire alarm to sound for 30 minutes, and the fire truck has arrived. *** Continentals travel around the world to smoke, depressed, and the quality education of mainlanders is too bad.

程程This place is very suitable for bringing children. It is very close to Legoland and the outlet is opposite. The parking lot is very large, and travel around is also very convenient. It’s not far from the beach, but you have to drive. The breakfast is average. There is no good Chinese food around. You can get pizza at noon. At night, the three of us drove out for 20 minutes to eat.
7.5/10
GGuest Userpleasant surprise! The room was more like a full one-bedroom apartment — spacious, clean, and super comfortable.
The pool and hot tub were both well-maintained and relaxing — a great way to unwind.
The only downside is that the hotel is located right next to the highway, so it can get a bit loud when you open the door.
Still, it’s a great value for the price and definitely worth the stay overall
7.5/10
GGuest UserGood location, easily accessible on/off highway 5.
Room was decent for price and satisfied with both management and staff room was fairly clean and functional. TV had limited stations but also provided ample choices.
6.7/10
YYibu_yibuThe room is ok, but it faces the highway, which is a bit noisy. The soundproofing is about 85 points. It is next to the highway and very convenient to find, with a gas station right outside.
