Carlsbad By The Sea Hotel

Carlsbad By The Sea Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had a really enjoyable stay. The room felt modern, fresh, and very clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The only downside was noticing a hair left on the shower wall when we arrived, which was not ideal, but everything else was clearly well maintained. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and we loved having a balcony with a nice view of the pool. For the price, this place is truly a great bang for your buck. Overall, it was a great experience and I would absolutely stay here again."
