The hotel is in a perfect location and we thoroughly enjoyed staying in a room that had a view of the ocean. The room was spacious and clean and it was easily walkable to different restaurants and the beach. Thanks to the staff for a pleasant stay!

Nice hotel across the street from the beach. The pool was heated, jaccusi was nice. It was very quiet, mostly older couples. They have pool and ping pong, movies, books and boardgames to borrow. Its a very relaxing place and parking is secure with a gate. Breakfast was just ok, if this was better it would be great.

This is a nice hotel in prime beachfront location. We'll definitely be back. However, to be called "resort" they should make a couple of improvements: a better variety for breakfast and more hooks, bars and shelves in the bathroom. Typically on the beach you have a lot of stuff to dry out.

It was just one night but it was a rough night maybe I just didn't have luck but the phone didn't work and I felt like the people above us played music all night making it extremely difficult to get my kids to sleep. I never usually complain or leave bad reviews but it was just rough.

Great view
When we booked our hotel a few months in advanced we had indicated that we wanted a balcony with beach view above the first floor. When we first arrived, the staff was not as friendly as we expected and told us our room was 102 which is literally on the first floor. My husband asked if we could get something in the second or third floor and the guy said that they only booked on the first floor because the top 2 floors are timeshares. That is not disclosed anywhere on their site. We spent quite a bit of money to stay here only to be disappointed in the room that we got. The rooms are outdated, no Keurig, they have a Mr. Coffee. Cleaning ladies were really nice and the view was great. Aside from that, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Take your money elsewhere where you actually get what you paid for.

This is a nice beachfront property just south of the Carlsbad CA city center. It is on a cliff overlooking the water. Cliff is about 75 ft high. The hotel is on a very busy noisy street. For most traffic the noise is not terrible, but very loud motorcycles, high performance cars, loud music is pretty constant during the day and into the evening. This is a nice hotel but in my opinion not a luxury one. It is close walking distance from many restaurants and shops in downtown Carlsbad. There is parking here under the hotel that is secure. If you have a large vehicle like a Suburban or larger truck it will be tight parking. We had an Acura MDX and even with it you have to be careful when you park. A Tesla model Y would fit nicely. To me this hotel was expensive for what you got.
