Our room was comfortable and had everything necessary. Nice view of the pool. My only complaint is that the floor in the room was dirty. I felt like I needed to keep my flip flips on.

Staff was great. Our room had the worse mattress so loud every time you turned over it was hard to sleep. The day we checked out we were getting brown water that never stopped in our shower.

Our favorite hotel in San Diego County

Wonderful heated pool. Cute property. Friendly staff. Very clean. Recently renovated. Lots of restaurants and eateries near by. Short drive to the beach.

Such a great hotel for the price and location. You’re right across the street form the Carlsbad Outlets and the Flower Fields. The property is large and very lush so it feels like you’re somewhere else not at all near a mall. There’s also a direct connection with the Windmill Food Hall which is great for everyone. The pool is actually heated. So many places say theirs is and it’s not but this one was very comfortable. Rooms are very well upgraded. Only downside is the beds are super hard. Feels like a box spring with a thin mattress pad over it. Regardless it’s an excellent choice for the area.

A nice place to stay.

The staff was amazing! The rooms were ok. The pool was nice. I am sure for the price, we paid for location. It could use an upgrade for the price.

Our stay was nice. There was a lot of construction going on so it wasn’t as relaxed as we anticipated, but the location was convenient, the bed was comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and responsive!

Oct 16, 2025

The air conditioning wasn’t working on through out the whole hotel, it was hot in the room we hardly got any sleep because of how hot it got inside hotel room, we asked for a fan and never got one. We called the desk and they said they would give us half off of our stay and I still haven’t gotten reimbursed.
