We love this hotel have stayed here many times. There are tons of things for the kids to do in the courtyard and also upon checking out the lady at the front desk allowed our kids to pick out a special toy for the drive home.

Shout out to Liliana for giving us excellent customer service! She was nothing but awesome. The moment I walked in she greeted me with a bright smile. I needed her help a couple of times throughout our stay and she was always ready to help. As far as the condition of the property and our room, we have no complaints. This hotel is good for families. It’s also close to a lot shopping and dining places, so it was very convenient for us. The bed and the pillows were really comfortable. The room was standard but it was really clean and cozy. We will most likely come back when we visit Carlsbad again.

Very close to legoland and kid friendly. Didn’t get to dine at the restaurant due to it being closed every-time we tried. Wish it stayed open later for breakfast as many people are tired and want to get more sleep especially after a long day at legoland the day before. Great for family’s though and very clean!

This is a lovely place to stay, definitely one of my favorites on our trip. The room service and restaurant are amazing and very timely, the breakfast bar was definitely the best out of the 7 hotels we stayed in on this trip, with lots of fresh fruit and a very kid friendly dining area. The room was very clean, the pool was amazing. I loved the fire pits at night they are a great place to wind down. Overall this was a great hotel, very impressive for a holiday inn.

The most fearful experience I had at a hotel. A man trying to commit suicide by handgun. Poroperty took no action to advocate the children from the hotel. This property caters to legoland guests. Many police present. But no action to secure guests.
