Guest experience, the texting service and cleanliness of the hotel was awesome! They were always cleaning, and provided coffee, etc. The mattresses are in rough shape and could use an upgrade/new options. They are pretty heavily indented in the shape of a sleeper.

This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The hotel smells amazing and is so beautiful. Our room was excellent, and we enjoyed the ocean view. I can't say enough about our wonderful experience. From the restaurant dinning to the friendly staff, it was all top notch. Michelle, from the front desk, was so kind and helped us have a wonderful time in Carlsbad with her many suggestions. I also appreciated Sean for being so helpful and kind as well. Hotels should certainly model their staff and facilities after this one! Thank you!

Hotel is in a beautiful location. The common areas are beautiful and access to beach was nice. The staff (except for one person at checkout) were not helpful at all. They say no before they have even heard what you are asking for. Don't plan on returning unless there are improvements.

Well worn decor but very clean rooms. Hallways relied on automatic vacuum which didn’t pick up food stuffs that we noticed on the ground. Mattress in our room sunk in the middle. Our room had a window but had been frosted as we looked out over part of hotel roof and a/c units. Towels and sheets lovely. Pool was large and temperature great. Gym was adequate.

Very nice staff, great pool area, restaurant had wonderful food. Location so you could look out at the beach was very nice if you have front room. Easy to get to San Diego and surrounding places. Self parking was great and access to a back entrance and elevator.
