Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"Our stay is always comfortable at Cape Rey. We have found that the room attendant and housekeeping is not as attentive on our last couple of visits. We did not get room service two days and had to request it and was difficult to get more pillows."
