This was our first time here. WOW! My husband and I absolutely love it here! It was so perfect, we booked an additional night! We had the panoramic oceanfront king suite. Impressed! Huge bathroom with a beautiful shower; kitchenette, closet, foyer, living area with couch, huge oceanfront balcony with NO cautions of any kind in front of you! Has a comfy futon-ish couch & chair on balcony. I ended up sleeping on the balcony every night LOL. The staff was incredibly friendly & helpful. Convenient! Wow! Carlsbad village is absolutely walkable with tons of very good restaurants, shops etc. This hotel was the answer to what my husband and I needed! So much so, we decided to make this hotel our yearly vacation place. Highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed.
