Across the street from Tamarack State beach and a short drive from LEGOLAND California theme park, this Carlsbad, California hotel serves a daily free continental breakfast.

The bed and pillow were very comfortable. The hotel is located across a busy street from the beach and the beach had a huge digger machine and piles of sand and was closed. The breakfast was really nice and over looked the ocean. The landscaping in the hotel courtyard is very beautiful. The fire pit is very fun. Our room was nice and quiet. Parking is $19 a night but we were lucky and parked close by on the street.

    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.
