Top Olde Carlsbad Hotel Reviews

Hyland Inn Near Legoland

10/10 Excellent

"It was great! Staff was helpful! We checked in after hours, long drive from Arizona. Staff was able to help us get in and easy check in. Highly recommend this place! Clean place and close to everything"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham San Diego - Miramar

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a King room with a sofa bed. I noticed there was no available bedding for the sofa bed. It was challenging to get extra towels, etc. Breakfast is barely basic. To be fair, there is limited space for the breakfast area. It is quiet, clean, and appears to be safe."
