Hotels Near GIA Museum in Carlsbad

Booked this property based on experience at other Home2's, but IMO, it fell short of the standards for the brand. The front desk staff were all friendly and helpful, coffee and tea kept stocked, and location great for those going to Legoland. However, the king suite with curtain didn't offer the privacy for one person to sleep and the other to read or do anything besides sit in the dark, as the curtain is translucent and doesn't filter light (see photos). To make it worse, lamplight reflects off the TV screen, doubling the effect. Room doors will either slam loudly or, if one tries to not slam it, will not quite close completely to lock without an extra tug, a safety issue. Biggest disappointment was with the breakfast area, which appears to have staffing and resource management issues (see photos). The hot dishes are not labeled. I thought the pan of white mystery clumps contained fresh cheese curds at first, an unusual offering, but whatever... Then I took a bite...disgusting...imagine what unseasoned boiled earlobes might taste like. I had to ask what it was when I could finally locate someone working in the kitchen. It was supposedly scrambled egg whites, which made a daily appearance the week I was there, along with pork sausages (had to ask about that, too, since I don't eat pork). Gluten-free options are limited to proteins and fruit, with Cheerios in a large dispenser, subject to cross-contamination. Fresh fruit was not wrapped. I saw one guest handle each and every apple before he selected one. Ewww. Each day, there was a shortage of plates (see photo with no plates under or on counter). I was delighted to finally be able to eat on my last day there, when the pre-packaged hot bites included a delicious gluten-free frittata instead of the Jimmy Dean pork breakfast sandwiches which had been the only choice for days before. Will probably stay somewhere else next time.

How should I evaluate it? The front desk service is still very good, because my family had a wounded man with a broken leg and crutches. I specially arranged the first floor and showed me first. But when I entered the hall, the cleaner was mopping the floor and the floor was slippery. My patient fell again and was injured twice. The most important thing is that, for some reason, Ctrip sent a text message saying that we did not check in and deducted another time. I wonder if it's a Ctrip problem or a hotel problem? In short, the communication is not smooth. This is the second time that the check-in information cannot be checked for repeated deductions during this trip to the US Causes us a lot of trouble. I hope Ctrip will pay attention to it instead of blocking my comments

The room was clean. The landscape room, I can see that the scenery can only be said in general. Breakfast is simple and the pool is not clean. Going out is still very convenient. Legoland and Ole are relatively close.

Nice place,I'm wish come here hotel again,very beautiful and very good place

Linen first class Valet first class Front Desk The best location. Love it Neighborhood first class Add two more handi cap parking slots at the rear entry way PLease. We will make this our ”Go To” home in Carlsbad, CA Thank you all in the facility. They know what they are doing and it's well managed.

The hotel was great. The price for the convenience to be walking distance to the ocean and Carslbad Villiage was worth it. The only downfall was even though the vehicles are parked in small cubbies beneath the rooms, they were not safe. ALL of the vehicles parked on the same side were vandalized and there was nothing the hotel would do. There was a camera, but unless we called the police ourselves they wouldn't do anything. Luckily our vehicle was an easy fix, the same could not be the said for others who had more extensive damage. Many unhappy vacationers were going to be leaving that day. I will be back, but I will be cautious with my vehicle.

The surrounding environment is better, quieter, facilities, cleanliness, etc. are in line with the needs. Struggling from Legoland

First, the staff at this hotel is amazing. They genuinely care about their patrons. So, I am a little disheartened about my family's recent stay. To begin, you really need to replace the mattresses. They are the most uncomfortable mattresses I have ever slept on. It was truly like sleeping on the floor. Next, the hotel is so loud! I don't understand how so many guests can be that inconsiderate. There were little children running up and down the halls at all hours. We had to check out a day early because we were so sleep-deprived. Again, the location and staff are amazing, but this was the most uncomfortable stay.

Rooms were nice and clean and we had a beautiful view of the lake. The beds are comfortable however my sleep was disrupted due to noisy pipes that we could hear whenever other rooms used their showers or sinks. Staff was friendly, prompt and helpful. The restaurant Amalfi was delicious and I also appreciated the complimentary drinks you get at check in and s’mores kit that is provided in your room.

Really good hotel! Not in the city; it's out away from San Diego. It's about 1/2 hour to 45 min to drive to parts of San Diego. There is parking at the hotel, but they charge for parking???? The only way to get to this hotel (for most) is by driving a car and parking it there. They seem to be taking advantage of customers to charge for the parking. Hotel was clean and had breakfast. Safe location.
