The whole experience. It was great to be in a hotel where we (wife and I) don't have to worry about how clean and wonderful the room was. Always a pleasure to stay in Home2 Suites Carlsbad. My Son LOVES this hotel. Had a choice of Legoland Hotels or Home2 Suites...He chose Home2. It was his birthday weekend and we enjoyed every minute of it. Location is great, Breakfast is very good, Pool is awesome and kitchenette is outstanding to have in the room. TV was great with all the channels and Netflix. Kudos to the Staff and Front Desk Reps. Paula was so very helpful and courteous. Will be back soon. Manny-A.

    while Carlsbad is a lovely city to see, we did not have enough time to walk around, drive around. We were there for a specific reason, and that took all of our time. From what I heard the flower gardens are suppose to be gorgeous.

    Carlsbad is a quaint small town that is worthy of one-day’s exploration. The greater Carlsbad, including the beaches, flower fields and activities off downtown area can probably filled another couple days’ time. However, I probably will become bored if spending more than three days in the area.

    It is a sleepy town where most of the restaurants and bars shutdown by 10:30 - 11:30 or earlier even on the weekends. If you want entertainment or nightlife you have to leave the area and head to towns to the north or south. The big attraction is the beach and some of the boutique restaurants and shops.

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first:

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first: - The rooms are dirty and in disrepair. My shower turned into a bath. - The freeway is loud, so you hear cars all night - The shuttle only starts at 9:30am and runs every 20 minutes. Need to call at 7am to get on the calendar. 11 people to a shuttle. - Breakfast options are very slim which means you need to venture out to feed yourself. The market next door isn't geared towards breakfast, leaving you starbucks. The good: - The location is only 4-5 minute drive to Legoland. Super fast and easy. We decided to forgo the shuttle and just park at the park early (avoid traffic) and eat at a Legoland hotel. Just need to reserve spot on open table night before. - The pool is nice. Kids loved it. - Great air conditioning in the room. Overall, I would rather just pay a little extra and stay at Legoland if you are going to go to Legoland. If you aren't going to Legoland, I don't know why you would stay at this hotel at all. The hotel goes for a hard value play, but it is a 2 star hotel at best for me.

    Well, Summertime is very busy.

    Well, Summertime is very busy. Good for finding places to eat. Not so good finding beaches to sit on. Or finding Dog Beaches. Hard to find parking for the beach. Got to get there early. Warm weather inland made for humid weather at the coast. Windmill Food Hall was a great place to eat. As was Benihana and The Green Dragon. Primo Pizza was good too. Beaches were crowded and expect to pay for parking there. If you have one good day at the beach consider yourself lucky.

    The location was fine and I appreciated the easy close parking but the breakfast was a disaster! There were low-quality and unhealthy food choices and worst of all the plates, utensils, and bowls were made of styrofoam and plastic!!! No ethically responsible hotel or restaurant uses these non-biodegradable items! Wake-up Marriot! It is time to adopt "Green" policies and practices!

    Amazing location right on the beach. Amenities were fantastic. We had an enormous room with a huge patio overlooking the ocean. Fridge and microwave were also nice to have. Free continental breakfast and they offered free dinner one night as well. They have a great restaurant as well! We really enjoyed listening to the sound of the crashing waves at night.

    Terrible place to stay. Dirty, no hot water and broken air conditioner. There was sand in the bed! I was so uncomfortable at how gross this place was that I couldn’t sleep. Can not understand why people like this buy hotels. It’s obvious they don’t care about running a good business just making money.
