Absolute joy from the start of our stay until the end. The location is perfect, a 2 min walk and you are on Tamarack Beach. Our room was on a corner with a balcony/patio that overlooked the ocean, we loved it.The room was comfortable and well equipped, the free breakfast was superb, it had everything to set you up for the day. The staff were lovely and helpful, all outdoor communal areas were spotlessly clean.We would definitely recommend a stay here and we would love to return.

Considering the positive reviews and the price I had higher expectations coming here. Pretty much upon arrival we were disappointed - the place is a lot more rundown than appears pictures. The elevator was out of service that night (fixed the next morning) so I ended up carrying our stuff up by hand over three trips from the car to hotel room. The room, a two queen, was very cramped and low quality, like a motel. The fan was very loud so despite the room being hot we kept it off at night. The breakfast room was again not very nice, with limited seating, but there was a basic continental breakfast offering. I’ll give credit to the service. I was helped by Fred at the front desk and he was very friendly, same with the rest of the staff he encountered. Also, the resort is on the beach and they offer free gear like umbrellas and seating.Overall, for the price it’s too low quality for us to stay again.

We booked through hotels.com and learned after we arrived that the resort has two parts: Hotel rooms on the first floor and condos upstairs. We usually like an upstairs room but were told they were not available, which wasn’t apparent when making the reservation. Our room was okay: It was a bit dated, with a loud fan that blasted too much air but helpfully drowned out street noise. Our ocean view was over the tops of cars driving by. The room did come with a free continental breakfast that is only available for hotel guests, not if you are in the condos. The condos can be rented through the hotel or other platforms and I don’t know how they compare with the hotel rooms. The resort is very well located near restaurants and the beach. It also has an underground garage, which really helped because it was raining heavily when we arrived. TLDR: the hotel does the job but I would not come back.

Love this place. Location is literally across the street from ocean and easy walk to Carlsbad village. Older venue but beautifully maintained. Nice rooms and great beds

Great location! Short distance to many attractions in the area. Walkable town with many good restaurants. The only negative was the resort was very dated.
