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 The rooms are outdated, no Keurig, they have a Mr.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.

I was a bit skeptical based off of the reviews yet was very pleased with my stay. It was me and my four year old and the easy parking and access to beach made it worth it. They provided plenty of towels, the pool was clean and everybody was nice.

I arrived to find out that my room was on the first floor, which means I had a view of the street traffic and heard it through my stay. I requested another room and found out that the second and third floors were time-shares. I was supposed to have handicap access, but received none. The garage level is dark like a cave. I was overall disapointed considering I paid $825.00.
