We like that it has swimming pool. But given that san diego weather can be cold we wished they have pool heater at night. Its closed to legoland and carlsbad outlet mall.

Room was huge, lots of space to work with. Pet friendly, plenty of places to walk the dog and with doggy bags provided. Bed is super comfortable, especially at this price point. Plenty of parking outside also. Room service was super attentive, even organized our plushes and duvets for us. Everything was super clean.

    Breakfast was great! Lots of options! My kids would have loved more kid friendly cereal like fruit loops or lucky charms. With that being said, they did NOT leave hungry.

    Calsbad is a quaint village with walkable night life restaurants and bars. Only north Carlsbad has limited beach access due to houses built on the bluff, the majority of the town, everything south of Carlsbad Village Dr and north of Cannon Rd is unobstructed public access. South Carlsbad has several good surfing spots, and don't forget about Legoland.

    Loved that restaurants, shopping. and the beach are within walking distance. From the Tamarack Beach Resort, we were able to walk to the Daily News for breakfast, the Harbor Cafe for lunch, and have dinner at the hotel adjacent Dini’s. Enjoyed the beautiful plants and flowers that thrive in Carlsbad.

    Carlsbad is a fantastic location, especially for those looking for budget-friendly accommodations. I found some cheaper hotels that are conveniently close to LEGOLAND and the Carlsbad Premium Outlets, making it a perfect spot for a quick getaway. The area offers a nice balance of attractions and amenities, so it’s ideal for a one-night stay. Whether you're visiting with family or just passing through, you’ll find everything you need nearby without breaking the bank. Overall, I recommend this area for anyone looking for a quick trip!

    It's mostly an upscale suburban community.

    It's mostly an upscale suburban community. Lots of nice grocery stores and other shopping. I was there because my Sister and Niece live there. When I'm visiting with my wife, we like Oceanside. In some ways it's better for tourists. But it does not have the great grocery and other stores that Carlsbad has.

    Carlsbad was very nice. We loved all of the food and shopping options in Carlsbad Village. We were planning to go to Old Town San Diego, but found we were having such a nice time in Carlsbad that we stayed and explored what was available...excellent choice!

    The beach was awesome. No complaints.

    The beach was awesome. No complaints. Though I wish the hotel experience could be way better. My worst experience at the Motel 6 . I won’t be going back even if I was offered a free night. Note: I had to walk the block just to use the bathroom to and also change to swimwear at the Western Hotel and the other hotel across from it. I wanted to have a beer there but neither one of them had a bar. I had one at the beach hut. Yeah!

    Good location (2 blocks from the beach and 2 blocks from Carlsbad Village with restaurants and shops). Large room with an outdoor seating area (Santa Barbara). Parking on site is included in the room rate. Coffee, tea and light snacks available in the lobby for most of the day. Quiet location although some people do complain about the occasional train whistle from the Coaster as the train tracks are a block or two away. The noise from the train didn't bother us. The room rate was appropriate for what we got...good value.
