Ayres Hotel Vista Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"The staff is great. There should be a larger restroom area for dogs. Also they said the pool is heather but the pool is barely heated. The water was really cold even with the oitside weather temperature at 85 degrees. The hot tub is nice and hot. The room bathtub had soap residue all over the corners and the walls. The sheets mattress protector was filthy. Guest services was quick to respond when I called about the mattress protector. They should leave notices on the fridges to let guests know that they need a few of hours to be cooled before it's safe to place food iinside. All of our food went bad. Guest services said that the fridges are turned off after each guest checks out and they can take awhile to cool down to the proper temp and they could hold our food in the kitchen fridge for guests if needed. That would have helpful to know before $100 went bad. The fridge also didnt seal properly and popped open while we sleeping even though it was practically empty since we had to toss out our groceries earlier that day. The fridge seal may have also to blame for our groceries going bad causing the firdge longer to cool. A neighboring room slammed their door for several hours during the night keeping us up. I am not sure how guest services did not hear and address it since we were on the bottom floor close to the front desk. The sound insulation from the hallway is really poor. Overall enjoyed our stay and would stay again because of the customer service, price and amenities."
