We were very pleasantly suprised by this hotel. The exterior seemed a little dated but we wanted a hotel close to Legoland. And it turned out that the rooms were very nice and clean, and the nice pool made it a very special stay. If you have kids, book a room near the pool. Not only is the view very... more

We stayed here for 2 nights - 2 adults and 2 kids aged 8 and 5 -to take in a trip to Legoland. The location is great - only a couple of minutes drive to Legoland (think the hotel offers a shuttle service aswell) and the Carlsbad shopping outlet is directly across the road. Our room had 2 double beds,... more

The Carlsbad by the sea was a very nice property. It is a short drive to the ocean or Legoland and is adjacent (walk across the street) to an outlet mall. They have a complimentary shuttle that will take you within a few miles of the property. We used it to visit Legoland with our two boys and it was... more

Well I didn't realize what I was getting into when I booked the room. First off the hotel is older. I didn't find it to be comfortable. But my son and I had a great time in carlsbad and all in all I wasn't too disappointed. because of the age of the hotel...more like an expensive motel because of the... more

We stayed two nights in this hotel. The room was large, and very well appointed, with a balcony overlooking a manicured patio. There were a microwave oven and a refrigerator in the room. The staff were efficient and pleasant. A small shortcoming: no breakfast is served, you have to walk to Ruby's across the street or, a bit further, to... more

We stayed in this hotel for one week from April-May. The good thing about this hotel is that it is very near the Carlsbad factory outlet and the nearby Flower Fields which becomes alive during Spring when flowers of different varieties bloom . You can directly see the outlet from the hotel and is walking distance to different outlet stores.... more

My husband and I were up from LA to attend a friend's birthday party. The front desk staff was very friendly. The room had a somewhat beachy smell, not too bad but enough to notice. One thing I have to say...the room and bathroom were spotless! Our room had a nice little patio that overlooked a very well-maintained courtyard. I... more

This was an old Split Pea Anderson's, but was sold to Holiday Inn, It still has the old Danish windmill that all Anderson's have. Today the Split Pea restaurant is a TGIF - disppointing! The hotel is massive with lots of grounds and a large circular parking lot. It's a little hard to find your way around and easy to... more

We stayed at this hotel November 24, 2007 on our annual Legoland/Disneyland trip. The women at the front desk were so friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable- lots of pillows!! They even offer a shuttle/van to Legoland that will take you when you want and will pick you up when you want. The hotel is directly across... more
