Top Carlsbad Village Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

10/10 Excellent

"Kitchen came with everything you need, bathroom was bigger than expected"

Ayres Hotel Vista Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve traveled several times to this area and this is by far our favorite hotel. We loved how clean the hotel is, how friendly the staff is, and the breakfast was amazing. We can’t say enough how friendly the staff are. From the check-in staff to the kitchen staff everyone was so nice and helpful! For breakfast on top of the continental items that you typically find, they also have an omelette station where you can order an omelette to your liking. The hotel was very clean and well-maintained. This is the first time I felt super comfortable, jumping into a bed, knowing that the sheets were definitely and thoroughly cleaned. This is now going to be our go to hotel for when we’re in this area."

DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"The Front Desk Staff was amazing. In particular, Peyton was exceptional. She provided excellent directions. She arranged for all the members of our party to be on the same floor. Additionally, my daughter-in-law's reservation was incorrect. Peyton fixed the situation without a hitch. I will recommend this location to others!!"
