"This stay quickly became a family favorite. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I had knee reconstruction surgery the week prior to arrival and Dorothy was so helpful with breakfast. On the first morning our kids went to town in the delicious pancakes. When we arrived in day 2 she Saw the pancakes were out and got us a fresh stack. Staff kept the facility clean and you can see that continual upkeep is present. One thing to note, the balcony and breakfast area isn't handycap accessible . I was on crutches and had to figure out the few sets of stairs to get there."

10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed here several times a year, and every visit has been wonderful! The staff is always personable, pleasant, and genuinely dedicated to making sure you feel comfortable and welcome. During my most recent stay, I experienced an extenuating circumstance, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate me. Their kindness, understanding, and willingness to help truly meant so much to me. It is that level of personal care and hospitality that keeps me coming back. The hotel itself is peaceful, in a perfect location, and offers the convenience of easy parking, usually right at your doorstep. It is also conveniently located near the beach and Carlsbad Village, making it an ideal place to stay. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel and its staff. I will continue to return again and again. It is a place where you feel genuinely welcomed and cared for, and that makes all the difference. Highly recom"
