This Carlsbad hotel features an outdoor pool and spacious rooms with a flat-screen TV and free WiFi. All rooms at Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel offer a private balcony or patio with a garden or pool view....

The primary deficiency was insufficient staffing, resulting in a 30-minute delay in check-in at 4:00 PM, as our room was not prepared upon arrival. Furthermore, pool towels were unavailable due to the staffing shortage.

    Perfect resort for family with a spacious living room and kitchen. Amazing location with just 8 mins walk to Legoland. Nice outdoor swimming pool with hot tub to end your day. Noted: You have to park your own car at their underground parking and carry your own luggages to your suite. It's still awesome and great Value!

    It's clean, smells good. 🛌 are comfortable. 4 comfortable pillows on the bed. Housekeeping is on time. Valet parking $40, self $30 a day, not included in a price, also $35 resort charge, you pay extra.Pet friendly, no charge if it's a service dog. Nice place to stay, but a little expensive, specially if you book a room with a balcony.

    The location of the resort is ideal! You can walk to get your morning coffee, walk to dinner and you're just steps away from the beach! The location was perfect. Our room was spacious and it was nice to have extra space and a kitchen.

    The location to the beach is fantastic and it’s walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops. We loved being able to get beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards right at the beach from the resort.
