    while Carlsbad is a lovely city to see, we did not have enough time to walk around, drive around. We were there for a specific reason, and that took all of our time. From what I heard the flower gardens are suppose to be gorgeous.

    Carlsbad is a quaint small town that is worthy of one-day’s exploration. The greater Carlsbad, including the beaches, flower fields and activities off downtown area can probably filled another couple days’ time. However, I probably will become bored if spending more than three days in the area.

    It is a sleepy town where most of the restaurants and bars shutdown by 10:30 - 11:30 or earlier even on the weekends. If you want entertainment or nightlife you have to leave the area and head to towns to the north or south. The big attraction is the beach and some of the boutique restaurants and shops.

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first:

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first: - The rooms are dirty and in disrepair. My shower turned into a bath. - The freeway is loud, so you hear cars all night - The shuttle only starts at 9:30am and runs every 20 minutes. Need to call at 7am to get on the calendar. 11 people to a shuttle. - Breakfast options are very slim which means you need to venture out to feed yourself. The market next door isn't geared towards breakfast, leaving you starbucks. The good: - The location is only 4-5 minute drive to Legoland. Super fast and easy. We decided to forgo the shuttle and just park at the park early (avoid traffic) and eat at a Legoland hotel. Just need to reserve spot on open table night before. - The pool is nice. Kids loved it. - Great air conditioning in the room. Overall, I would rather just pay a little extra and stay at Legoland if you are going to go to Legoland. If you aren't going to Legoland, I don't know why you would stay at this hotel at all. The hotel goes for a hard value play, but it is a 2 star hotel at best for me.

    Well, Summertime is very busy.

    Well, Summertime is very busy. Good for finding places to eat. Not so good finding beaches to sit on. Or finding Dog Beaches. Hard to find parking for the beach. Got to get there early. Warm weather inland made for humid weather at the coast. Windmill Food Hall was a great place to eat. As was Benihana and The Green Dragon. Primo Pizza was good too. Beaches were crowded and expect to pay for parking there. If you have one good day at the beach consider yourself lucky.

    The location of the hotel and the rate of a double King bed room was great. The room had a nice extra mini sink by the fridge and coffee maker in the room. The king beds were comfortable and there was lots of space in the room. Even 2 armoires to unpack into. The Hottub was large and felt great after a day at Legoland. And its proximity to Legoland was also awesome, only a few min drive. The breakfast in the am was nice too with 2 waffle machines, assorted toast, eggs, biscuits and gravy, bacon, home fries, etc…

    The hotel is VERY clean, the rooms are large, the beds were VERY comfortable (prior back issues so I'm picky), and the staff were extremely polite and helpful. The location is quick and easy access to the I-5 and all of downtown Carlsbad. We were extremely pleased with this hotel as we weren't sure what to expect in this budget range. I also used their laundry and it was nice and clean.

The whole spaces are Super clean. Great location. So much closer to Legoland than I expected and there is a great brewing restaurant closely. Wish I have stayed here at the very beginning instead of legoland's castle hotel.

    The room had spider webs in the corners of the ceiling with spiders. The carpet was so dirty we dared not walk bare foot and overall room conditions were very poor. The location was greatly over priced and we were very disappointed in the exorbitant price of such a shoddy room. Holiday Inn should be ashamed. They definitely have become a 3rd rate hotel.

    We loved staying at the Legoland Hotel. They had so many activities lined up for the kids! I loved how we can cross over to the Castle Hotel and have my toddler play in their playground. It was so nice to be able to relax and let my kids play while I sat and watched them. My 3 year old really enjoyed the dance party at night also!

    $28 self parking fee per day is ridiculous, rooms are decent but nothing to write home about. I was in town to visit Callaway Golf which is nearby and did not realize Legoland was literally right next door to hotel. Advertised rate of $204 per night ended up costing $610 with taxes and fees.
