Top The Wave Waterpark Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Oceanside near Camp Pendleton

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Parking was good"

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Vista

2/10 Terrible

"I was given a room on the second floor that was a mishmash of 4 different rooms--one with 2 nonmatching couches off to the right of the entry w/ an overhead light, you entered into the bedroom--no telephone, no coffee maker though I had 1 coffee cup, ice bucket, but no cups, the other room was a closet. I had one hand towel, I wash cloth and 1 bath towel. The tub had no anti slip treatment to it, so I could not take real bath or shower, I "bathed at the side of tub using the ice bucket to wash and rinse my hair, cleaning my legs by soaking my feet in bath water and a personal scrubber. I used the bath water and scrubber to clean the rest of my body. It was not a pleasant stay."

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

10/10 Excellent

"Such a wonderful experience for our family! We had such a fun time at all the different pools and recreation centers. The villa had a stackable washer/dryer, dishes, cooking utensils, pots, pans and other useful kitchen appliances. It really felt like a home away from home. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Would love to visit again!"

Lakehouse Resort

6/10 Okay

"The grounds are very pleasant, I mean you have a lake! But desk staff and especially the fake redhead at the coffee shop were less than convincingly friendly. The young barista with the hair dye job was talking with the other girl(cashier), walked past me, never once looked at me while she placed my drink on the counter right in front of me. Continued walking past, while still conversing with her co-worker, I looked up at my drink, she turned partly around to look at me through her peripheral and condescendingly stated “that’s it” referring to my order and turned back to her conversation with the very nice cashier. This demonstrated perfectly that the newer generation believes the customer exists solely as an opportunity to assist them in reaching their dream of holding a degree in art appreciation or as a practice instrument in sharpening their disdain of a capitalist society. In any case, who ever hired this angry superior creature full of arrogant ignorance should have explained that in a service industry there is an element of effort that is to be exerted in positive engagement with the customer. I was always taught if giving a criticism offer a solution. So here it is. Pay your college age staff enough that you get an over abundance of applicants. With a better choice of applicants. Because when you hire out of desperation you get people like that pretentious creature that although she made a great cup of coffee will remain the most bitter I’ve ever had!"

Hyatt Place San Diego/Vista-Carlsbad

2/10 Terrible

"The outside of the hotel was great, staff was great, my room was horrible. I checked in with my family, kids and wife and as soon as we stepped in we wanted to leave. Actually we did leave. The floor had blood stains, one of our queen beds had a huge yellow circled stain the size of a basketball, the bathroom floor was stained with brown and red smears, the bathtub and drain was full of hair, and the toilet seat had pee stains. Also, one of the walls had holes and to make it all better it smelled like cheese. Super super dirty hotel room I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. So, my family waited for me while I went to Target to buy things we needed and left and drove back to AZ. It was that bad. I checked in around 9:10 pm and we left around 10:10 pm. This hotel is not recommended for anyone."

Staybridge Suites Carlsbad by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Family friendly four star hotel with five star staff and service. We were a family of five staying in the one bedroom with sofa bed and our numerous requests were met promptly and with smiles. Everyone said the breakfast was best ever and my grandsons loved the make your own waffles. Great pool, great games, and great location."
