Solana Beach hotels

Pros: The place was beautiful from the lounge area fully stocked with everything to the room that had everything. Very peaceful and a beautiful view from the room

Cons: Nothing could have been better

Pros: I loved the setup because it immediately encouraged relaxation and meditation. The staff was very attentive if there were any questions and were very flexible for room cleaning schedules. Also, the other offers (tea/coffee/wine/snacks/bath salt/beach gear/yoga mat) were a great addition!

Cons: The distance from the train, the sound of it going by was a gentle reminder throughout the day but I did like the distraction made by the white sound machine and the sound of the meditation pond near the room.

Pros: The accommodations and amenities were excellent. The place is very relaxing and spiritual. They respect the environment and make every effort to do so.

Cons: Location is near a train and a bit of a walk to a beach.

Pros: The room was nice, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was lovely.

Cons: The breakfast was strange, the delivery of dry oatmeal that you make yourself and a whole grapefruit and a cold egg was just not great. For the price we paid for the room a better continental breakfast should have been served in the reception area rather than packaged breakfast.

Pros: Fresh fruit and breakfast, comfy bed and lovely personal touches.

Cons: Freight train

Pros: I was amazed at the design and the commitment to sustainability. The property is pristine.

Pros: Perfect in every way!

Pros: It was awesome. The hotel was tranquil and beautiful. The breakfast light and awesome.

Pros: Great B&B/Botique Hotel. The San Diego Botanical Gardens is less tha two miles away and well worth the visit.

Cons: Parking a little tricky but no biggie.

Pros: This is a little gem in Encinitas . Hidden away , it is a beautiful zen like place . The rooms were large , immaculate and comfortable . The owner ( who I cannot remember her name ) was great . Also provision of light bites throughout the day is a great touch . The cider , and banana cake were great . Very close to all amenities in Encinitas and only 20 minutes to San Diego . Would 100% recommend this place to anyone , An oasis of beauty in an area of generally tired motels .

Cons: Nothing .

Pros: The room service staff spa all the little details.

Pros: Rooms, very secluded

Pros: Attention to detail (fresh squeezed orange juice delivered each morning) and service by the staff are amazing. The bathroom was a spa like experience and the private patio with hot tub was delightful. The spa pool area was a lovely way to spend the day with frozen grapes as treats. Truly decadent and pampering.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful setting...STAFF REMARKABLE!! Spa pool: great food & service!! Food was amazing however OVERPRICED but that's to be expected when you stay at these type of resorts!! Concierge was over the top!!

Cons: Lots of bugs & spiders in our room!!! Had to kill them! The fire place shot out a fire ball the first time my husband tried to light it!!! Thinking someone left the gas slightly going??...burnt my husband's ear, hair & eye lashes!!!! They were very quick to respond and had maintenance look at it to make sure that we did not have a leak. Spa not great!! The facilities we very small...workout room ok...treatments way OVERPRICED!! We live in Scottsdale Arizona "Land of the spas" perhaps we are spoiled by great spas! Bocce Ball court Horribly maintained!!!

Pros: - amazing spacious rooms, really comfortable and well decorated. really romantic setting. - big plus for the bathroom - staff was always very nice and polite - Veladora restaurant had really great food on site - spa and facilities were really nice too

Cons: - food at pony room was not as great as Veladora restaurant - pool area could have generally been a bit cleaner. pool floor, tables, restrooms seemed to have missed a once over although we seemed to be some of the first guests of the morning. - general noisiness from the aircon and pool heater (right by the bedroom).. such a relaxing environment that is unfortunately not completely quiet. - location is a bit remote, minimum 30min from san diego. Completely fine if you have a car and want a quieter stay though.

Pros: Absolutely stunning, beautiful resort, excellent restaurants, great spa and fitness facilities, staff welcoming and friendly. Very relaxing stay.

Pros: Everything: The employees guest services throughout the Hotel were over the top.

Pros: The service, smell of the resort and the cleanliness

Cons: The resort fee didn't include spa admission.

Pros: Professional staffs, especially Korean staff(Jenny Jang, she was very kind & lovely), nice view, excellent facility, close location.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The service was second to none.

Pros: I really enjoyed my stay with my wife at Park Hyatt Aviara. Jenny Jang is at the reception was kind and very friendly, she was very accommodating and caring to our concerns. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Carlsbad, CA. I had a wonderful experience staying for one night at this hotel. Again, I really appreciate it!

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: Vastly overpriced!

Cons: Cost of Golf for guests is too high.

Pros: The grounds of this Hyatt are absolutely beautiful and so are the rooms.

Cons: I thought $40 for valet parking was a bit steep but I didn't choose this hotel because I thought it was looking for bargain basement prices.

Pros: Quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Room appointments. on Excellent view from room! Friendly, helpful service. Balcony

Cons: Guitarist was was mediocre. No Dodgers on TV.

Pros: We loved hanging out by the pool with my son, dining at the lobby lounge was easy, tasty and still very charming. Room was great , comfy bed!

Pros: This was arguably one of the very best hotel experiences ever - after years of global travel on business and for leisure. The property is beautiful. Our suite was beautiful. Every member of staff was courteous, genuinely warm in their engagement with us and obviously well-trained. Service at every level was superb. It was expensive but worth it and it made our 13 nights memorable in a good way, standing out as the best of all hotels in our 5 week trip to California.

Cons: There was nothing to not like other than some of the expense for golf but then again it does not disguise its top of the market positioning

Pros: If you value customer service- Staff will treat you like a king/queen. Three people to open the doors. Useless in my opinion. Beverage (water/coffee) offered anytime. They had live music some nights. Pianist and a guitar singer. Great fitness center and it’s open 24hours. Wish the swimming pool were open later/earlier. Wasn’t able to enjoy it. Fluffly blankets and great mattress. Pillows could be better.

Cons: I had requested a fridge be placed in our room a couple weeks before our weekend. The fridge wasn’t there when we checked in. However, they did put one in later that day when i mentioned it. Also, they mentioned they do a little extra for birthday celebrations. But didn’t see anything in the room. I didn’t bother ask. I was just annoyed at this point. I didn’t like their mandatory valet parking system. The wait would be unecessarily longer than it should be. And they favor the luxury cars first. A mandatory fee was added per night. For the price, i would expect free parking or self parking available at least. And shuttle service should be expanded to the beach at least, not just the outlet.

Pros: Clean and comfortable

Cons: Next to the freeway, expensive

Pros: This hotel is absolutely beautiful! It has a lively beach decor which is fitting since it is a block away from the beach. My family always stay in the family suite and its very spacious. The beds are large and so comfortable. We love the fact that this hotel has an in room DVD player and you can borrow a DVD from the front desk for no extra charge. Also, you can borrow beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrellas, beach toys and boogie boards for no extra charge! You can bring them back all sandy and they don't even mind. As an added bonus, they offer complimentary fresh cookies and milk every night. The complimentary breakfast is also delicious. You can choose from cold cereal, toast, muffins, bagels and croissants, to eggs, bacon, hash browns and pancakes, or even oatmeal fresh fruit and multiple choices of juice, tea, coffee and hot cocoa. We also enjoy the beautiful pool, jacuzzi and ping pong table (where we tend to get a bit competitive). Every part of this hotel is always clean and updated. I have never found one thing that I dislike about this hotel, other than I always wish that our stay here was longer.

Cons: I would like to stay here longer than we do.

Pros: The location was awesome for my family and I! The hotel shuttle will take you to and from Legoland, and the beach is just down the street!

Cons: My family and I had no issues at all.

Pros: Most comfortable bed we have ever slept on, my husband wanted to know what kind of mattress it was. Breakfast was good with a decent variety of food choices. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was good for freeway access. It was clean and the shower was huge.

Cons: Expensive.

Pros: It was in a good location and nice interior. They had many small extras that I felt were a nice touch, like step stools, makeup mirrors, and shower caddies in the bathroom. The cookies and milk in the evening were nice, too! They had a good breakfast and the staff was very friendly and happy to help. I will stay here again.

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: The breakfast was so-so.

Pros: The room was large. Good sized fridge, sink and microwave in the room. Excellent large bathroom and shower. Evening cookies and milk was a great idea and a big hit. Lots of fresh coffee available at breakfast. Two laundry rooms with wash powder and dryers were very much appreciated.

Cons: Needed more fresh options at breakfast, everything was a bit processed with only a small bowl of fresh fruit. The breakfast can also get crowded. The staff were not very proactive and unwilling to go the extra inch to help (except for the breakfast kitchen staff and the shuttle drivers who were amazing).

Pros: The staff was very friendly.

Cons: Na

Pros: Nice sized room and great pool area for the kids. Also loved the nightly cookies and milk.

Cons: The rooms could use a little bit more noise insulation. Could hear noise from other rooms and outside.

Cons: 90 % of the staff was amazing. Our room was only cleaned 1 in 4 nights. Also the night front desk staff was a little cold.

Pros: Confortables bed , excellent hotel to spend a pleasant family time on The pool and the beach

Cons: A lot of stairs to access pool and beach

Pros: Location was great, the staff was extremely amazing! Especially Alex that worked at check in and Sophia that worked by the pool.

Cons: I felt like housekeeping may have been short staffed.

Pros: Staff was very friendly and helpfully

Cons: Took a while to check in as they seemed to be short staffed at the front. Attendant was very nice, just a bit overwhelmed with number of guest. Room was not as luxurious as expected but bathroom was nice.

Cons: Air conditioning unit sounded like a croaking frog and kept me up the first night. I asked them to fix it the next day and they did. The hot water was a problem...u basically had to let the sinK run for 5-8 min to get hot water. Shower ran out of hot wate

Pros: Breakfast in the restaurant was superb

Pros: Excellent selection of breakfast items and extremely delicious.

Cons: Better description of how to locate the hotel as there still exists a lot of confusion with Uber. Awfully dark at night on road leading to the hotel.

Pros: What's not to like? This is a wonderful place to have a vacation and the location is stunningly beautiful. The staff were friendly but very professional and the facilities in the suite were top notch. The bar and restaurant were really good, again with slick, friendly service.

Cons: Nothing really. A minor glitch with a room preference at the beginning was resolved, expediently and efficiently, to our satisfaction. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Pros: Very good staff

Pros: The staff was amazing. Every encounter was a joy- truly. The property is gorgeous and location perfect.

Pros: The Inn was beautiful and so charming. The best stay ever.

Pros: Quiet elegance of the property.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Beautiful location

Cons: We booked a room that should have had a fireplace but when we arrived the room "assigned" did not have this. They were happy to change our room but it was not ready to be occupied. They offered to expedite the cleaning of the room though this did not occur. When we did want to use the fireplace, they were out of the type of artificial logs that they use until later that evening. Odd to see rooms at a premium with fireplaces but nothing to put it the fireplace. It did all work out so no major issue, just not a 5 star experience.

Pros: Location, accommodations & staff

Cons: No

Pros: The calm and relaxing environment and the staff

Cons: The noisy AC

Pros: Awesome breakfast and service !

Pros: The property is beautiful with blooming flowers and nicely appointed rooms. The bed was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed having a cozy fire in the fireplace. Plush robes were an added luxury.

Cons: The mini fridge in the kitchenette made loud knocking noises that woke me up on and off through the night. The hot tub in the pool area seemed over chlorinated.

Pros: theres a special feeling at this place .

Pros: staff was friendly... area is great... room was nice and comfortable bed...

Cons: room was left unattended for or there was a miscommunication regarding that specific room prior to a midnight check in...

Pros: Very peaceful setting and a great place to meet friends for meals on the patio or in the dining room

Pros: Excellent dinner & breakfast buffets in the hotel!!

Pros: Everything was perfect the food, room, people

Pros: Children friendly

Cons: I think it’s too expensive

Pros: The breakfast was absolutely delicious! We were very impress, they have everything you can imagine. To smoothies, omelet and the eggs with chorizo were spectacular, but my favorite was the black beans and rice and we can't forget the coffee was super, super delicious!

Pros: The bed was amazing. Kids loved the king's and dragons room theme. The decorations the playground all the above.

Cons: The dinner menu for the restuarant could have more food choices for both adults and kids

Pros: Good healthy food choices, good variety of food

Cons: The cook kept getting order wrong each time, and patio eating area was not clean

Pros: We loved having a separate room for the kids and the bonus activities throughout the day.

Cons: Cost of the room.

Pros: The LEGO decoration in all the hotel including the rooms. And the activities all around the hotel. My 9-years old son just loved.

Cons: The waiting for the check-in. The time was 4PM, I arrived 3PM and was waiting for the text message, while we had lunch in the hotel restaurant. At 4:30 I had to go back to the reception to get my room cards, I hadn’t received the text message yet. Only this, all the rest was wonderful.

Pros: Loved the view of the park Staff was so nice

Cons: Well, maybe a few more items on the menu at the restaurant

Pros: Every staff member from management to housekeeping took the time to have real conversations with the kids.

Cons: Need to lower the price on drinks, so I could afford another drink. They were pricey by any standard.

Pros: I loved the friendly staff. And I loved the way the rooms are designed, it’s one room but there’s some separation which was great.

Pros: Separate kids space

Cons: Not much to do after park closes and not many extra amenities

Pros: The location is great. A few mins from Legoland and conveniently located to beaches, malls, and stores. The room was big and I loved that the bedroom had a ceiling fan. The living room was big enough to fit a large dog kennel comfortably. The breakfast was great, had many choices and the fruit was great and fresh. They have a grassy area to take your pets out. Friendly staff. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Pros: The staff are friendly and super helpful. My family and I loved staying here. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. When I am in town again I would definitely pick this hotel.

Pros: Location to Legoland,breakfast. Service pool

Cons: No room safe

Pros: Good location, the staff is friendly, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The free breakfast was very good.

Cons: Since there isn’t a full service restaurant, there aren’t any restaurants close by (if you are new to the area). It’s really just located around other hotels. There are no facilities for charging an electric vehicle. There is an outdoor outlet, but it’s located right next to a handicapped parking space. That’s a deal-breaker for us, so we won’t stay there again. There are hotels nearby that do have those stations so they really need to upgrade.

Pros: Nice

Cons: Not on beach

Pros: Girls at front desk were amazing. Rooms were nice sized and clean.

Cons: Parking lot being resurfaced which made parking hard.

Pros: The complimentary breakfast and dinner with cocktails is an excellent value add. The rooms are very comfortable and much nicer than most overnight lodging where your seat choice is typically your bed.

Cons: Being near family attractions the hotel can be noisy with the number of families that tend to stay here because of the excellent value. For that reason, get to the complimentary meals early to avoid the rush. Also, request a room that faces the parking lot and not the pool. The pool area is well lit and very noisy at night as kids play in the pool until it closes at 10 p.m. It would be beneficial if the hotel would tell guests checking in at the time of this situation and inquiring whether they would prefer a room facing the parking lot. But, for this situation, the hotel would have rated 4 stars all around.

Pros: The location is good for families going to Legoland.

Cons: The room we reserved wasn't ready at 4pm when we arrived, but not until well after 5:30pm and then shortly before 7pm the power went out for 5 1/2 hours! The front half of the parking lot was blocked off for repair. Parking was limited in the back and we had to walk far to get to our room. Dinner is only provided Monday to Thursday, so if you stay over a weekend there's no food in evenings.

Pros: Totally comfortable, great breakfast, check-out time noon, two TVs.

Cons: If I could have opened windows for fresh air.

Pros: We’ve been here before and loved the apartment like feel and free breakfast. Also the Hilton bag with snacks and water, nice touch

Cons: We’ve been to this hotel before, although he paid twice as much because it was comicon weekend… Even though we weren’t going to, con

Pros: Good

Cons: None

Cons: some furniture worn/damaged

Pros: We loved the property, very clean and comfortable rooms. It was great

Cons: Nothing we liked everything

Pros: Lots gtreat spot.

Cons: Would not use sofa bed . Mattress was disgusting

Pros: The kitchen and being so close to the beach

Pros: Amazing location just a minute walk to beach. Great hot tub and pool. Amazing friendly staff with towels and beach gear free to use each day. Beautiful grounds and housekeeping.

Cons: Pillows too fluffy for my taste.

Cons: I thought some of the staff could have been friendlier.

Pros: location amazing-there could've been a little bigger selection for breakfast but the stay was magical !!!!!!!

Cons: as I said a little better breakfast selection would've been nice

Pros: We loved everything about Ocean Palms! The location was amazing and the room and grounds were beautifully maintained. The staff was very kind and accommodating. We loved borrowing beach equipment from the front desk and sitting by the fire pits at night. Our room was the deluxe studio, which wasn’t very large, but it had a very functional kitchen and a bathroom perfect for coming back from the beach. Downtown location is great, in walking distance of the beach, restaurants and small grocery store.

Cons: You can’t actually see the water from the majority of the rooms but for the price and the fact that you are literally 20 feet away from the beach entrance we didn’t care.

Pros: Great location, super close to the beach and shops/restaurants. Very family friendly, clean and quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful, gave great recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!

Pros: Great service by the staff. We had a small child above us that was training for a marathon. We spoke to the manager twice at the front office who told us they would call the party above us and handle this. After the second time of talking to the manager they actually called us (we were out for breakfast) and said that another 2 bedroom room had become available. I had to pay additional money to upgrade, but the kids loved it. Bigger bathroom, living room and kitchen. The highlight was the hot tub on the porch. Stayed 6 nights and the last 3 were the best!

Cons: The noise above if you are on the first floor. We understand families are vacationing and have small kids. However, I was strict with my girls and made sure they were never running or jumping if someone was below us. Now they understand why!

Pros: The front desk personnel was exceptional in being helpful about the resort! She was willing to make sure our "stay" at Ocean Palms Resort was really nice. The rooms are bright and cheery and very clean! The grounds are beautiful! We will return!

Pros: Location to beach and restaurants.

Cons: Said it included breakfast but actually not a breakfast.

Pros: Location and pleasant staff.

Cons: Would suggest the resort offer donuts and muffins in the morning for those who don't eat breakfast.

Pros: staff very enthusiastic, service-oriented, hepful

Cons: rooms could use an upgrade

Pros: Room was very convenient. Same level as reception. Lots of local amenities. Overlooking the ocean all great

Cons: No hot water No internet Broken tile in the bathroom

Pros: Very nice interiors, ocean view, proximity to restaurants

Pros: Absolutely everything to like about this lovely property

Cons: Didn’t stay long enough

Pros: Nettled in a bustling cute downtown Del Mar, one is instantly transported to a calming beach vibe. You can feel the ocean and take in an awesome view. The property is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the cheeseburger was delicious!

Cons: There is a parking lot and condo community in between the resort and the beach. Though a minor disappointment, it doesn’t make access difficult.

Pros: Central location

Cons: Reception staff not terribly friendly. Spa and valet staff were very professional, friendly and accomodating.The rooms are far from yucky but I won't exactly call them clean either.

Pros: Did not appreciate being sent to the Lobby to accomadate large sales group They should have been set up elsewhere

Cons: Our garden room overlooked the sidewalk and the street!

Pros: The location was great, very close to the beach. The Spa was excellent, I had a great massage!

Pros: The entire staff was noticeably helpful and friendly. Especially extra care from Alex, front desk, Chase from valet and Amy and Rory from the restaurant. Considering having my daughters wedding here. Beautiful property.

Cons: The thermostat was a light beacon at night, covered it with a hat. Needed extra blankets.

Pros: This place was excellent! We loved the smaller size which gave off a high-end, beach vibe. The views from the restaurant on the patio (also seen from the lobby/bar) were amazingly beautiful. Dinner at 1540 was great and we appreciated the dessert customized for the birthday we were celebrating. The room was lovelier than the pictures online.

Cons: The only downfall was our own schedule. We were not able to spend enough time to enjoy all the amenities or the charming town. We will definitely be back when we can spend more than one night.

Pros: Love the rooms, bed comfort , room was so clean and fresh and the breakfast options were amazing!

Pros: The staff was helpful.

Pros: Bed was comfortable and nice pool area with nice view of the mountain side

Cons: The rooms are small and the bathroom door opens the wrong way. The walls are thin and the guests in the next room played their music so loud all night and kept us up. Also the staff was rude when I checked out.

Pros: I was able to check in a little earlier and loved the late checkout at 12:00. The breakfast was excellent. The parking was was great.

Cons: The 3rd floor elevator light was broken, had to call the front desk to get an elevator up to the 3rd floor.

Pros: Everything. Staff was great. Breakfast yummy. Bed super comfortable.

Cons: The weather.

Pros: Great & convenient location. Lots of choices on breakfast buffet. Clean room & bathroom.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable.

Cons: No.

Pros: Location

Cons: Drunk guests. Guests service lacked on being helpful.

Pros: Front desk person on day of check out (1 night stay) was exceptionally gracious and helpful. No internet code was given at check-in which she corrected.

Pros: location

Cons: flooding in the bathroom, stand shower doesn't drain, inform the front desk, only things they do just bring us extra towers.

Pros: The cleanliness and the staff was very helpful.

Cons: Besides price but it's what they run there.

Cons: they had a horrible sewing leak smell

Pros: Location was amazing. Loved they provided beach towels and had lot of events. Great for kids.

Cons: We had a door which connected to another room and the sound really traveled to our room.

Pros: Property

Pros: OKAY

Cons: Fruit was excellent - pastries were tough not flakey - you need to serve breakfast daily with a larger selection for those who are hotel guests.

Pros: Beach cabana with boogey boards, chairs, and umbrellas. Nice gym. Location walking distance to many restaurants, shops, train and beach. Staff was diligent about cleaning common spaces such as outdoor furniture pillows.

Cons: Room was pricey at >$300 a night for a first floor double queen facing a wall. Pool was too small for size of resort and water got visibly dirty/discolored with so many people using it.

Pros: Lovely location, staff were unfailingly friendly

Pros: Cleanliness, quiet rooms, location and the housekeeping staff.

Cons: I understand that front desk employee's should be professional but friendly and kind smiles would help.

Pros: Amazing location

Pros: Location, (walk to everything) walk to beach, clean. Staff is wonderful. Daily activities (bingo, massage, ceramics, yoga, etc.)

Cons: The only thing is the construction. Jackhammers at 9am! We were warned; I just thought my family would be up by then, and they weren't. But it is necessary, and is being done well; this is a timeshare condo resort (mostly, except for the "hotel" rooms) and the construction is repair/upgrading the resort.

Pros: Location was great. Very friendly. Clean.

Cons: Room was right next to elevator too loud.

Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful: the cleaning crew to the clerks at the front desk. The beds were very comfy and the restrooms were nice. I liked that there was an ADULT ONLY whirl pool. I loved all the amenities available at NO EXTRA COST: beach chairs, umbrella, bikes and how they were accessible at the beach so I didn’t have to carry them all the way up or down from the Inn. I also enjoyed the fire pits in the evenings!!

Cons: I didn’t like my walk to the inn from the parking. My path from the parking to the Inn was very unattractive. I didn’t like that on the website it says complimentary breakfast and it doesn’t say that it’s only served and available on a couple of days. I also didn’t like that on the website it said the Inn had a bar. Nope!! I didn’t see a bartender serving drinks at any time during my stay. I didn’t like that I was not able to reserve and know for certain If I was gonna be able to have a microwave. It would have helped me plan for some microwave meals, and thus save on $ and time. I really didn’t like how the pool was full of sand and dirty late in the afternoon. I wanted to swim in the latter part of the day, but the pool was yucky. If it’s gonna b open until 10 or 11 pm it should be cleaned intermittently so those that didn’t enjoy it during the day can do so in the evening hours.

Pros: The location in the middle of Carlsbad is perfect.

Cons: I would have liked a room with a balcony.

Pros: Location

Cons: Price too much. No microwave no continental breakfast, not real clean, front desk iffy, sliding door lock was some funky added on lock because the door lock was broken

Pros: Location. Large rooms. Nice amenities.

Cons: Cockroaches in bathrooms by pool area. Should provide easier access to beach towels.

Cons: The property overall is quite noisy from the inside guest traffic not outside street traffic. Whenever closeby guests move around, take showers or walk outside the rooms, we heard pretty much everything. It seems the property us quite old and does not have guest noise cancellation of any form. Thank you.

Pros: Hotel is right across the street from the beach and within walking distance of shops and restaurants

Cons: The room was too small for two adults and two kids

Pros: Location

Cons: No

Pros: The property was a perfect location. The rooms were comfortable and a good size.

Pros: The location across the street from the beach, near Carlsbad Village, and Legoland was great. Nice size rooms. The Rec room, in-room DVD players, and DVD library are great for families. Free parking, wifi, and breakfast.

Cons: Tub and shower tile a little dated. The beds and bedding were not as comfortable as other hotels.

Pros: Pretty much everything

Cons: Breakfast could have had more options

Pros: central location almost at the beach, nice town with good restaurants

Cons: No value for money (far too expensive), no clean room with lack of space, dark and noisy and no good breakfast

Pros: We stay at Tamarak every chance we get. Love everything about it, including the perfect location. Please dont change a thing.

Cons: Maybe just update the movies in the rec room.

Pros: The friendly staff, clean common areas, welcoming lobby, safe, secure parking and the location was unbeatable. Right across from the beach and within walking distance to the heart of Carlsbad Village. The room was on the smaller side but very nicely decorated and comfortable

Cons: The breakfast area could use a little updating and a wider selection of items. But they do make waffles for you!

Pros: Really nice view and location. Also very clean.

Cons: For the price I paid I was really hoping better on the complementary breakfast

Pros: Beautiful view and convenient! Staff very friendly and accomodating.

Pros: Its near legoland

Cons: Just the bathroom...

Pros: The room

Cons: They overcharged my dad big time on his incedental hold. Like his whole budget for vacation

Pros: I love the breakfast.

Cons: Didnt really like the fountain drinks. They were all watered down.

Pros: Breakfast was good, and beds where comfortable.

Cons: Not sure who was at fault, booking.com or Staybridge, but I reserved a queen suite with two queen beds a a pull out sofa bed for my wife and three children. Staybridge states that they have a king suite for us reserved. It only has a king bed and a pull out sofa bed. Not enough beds for all of us. They had no queen suits available. They had to provide a roll away bed. Shower had some mold on the tile, double door to bedroom didn’t closed all the way, and top dresser drawer in bedroom stayed open all the way and wouldn’t stay closed.

Pros: Everything about this place is perfect in town for my sons bday called to confirm an early check in the girl in the front desk was very professional and helpful. Even offered to set up a little birthday basket for my son. The facility Is new, pool was perfect and basketball court was great for us. Breakfast was delish! All in all best hotel in carlsbad.

Pros: Food was amazing staff was friendly Legoland and everything we came for was near by we made friends with another family staying in the building behind us I think it’s the holiday in we ended up meeting every evening at the pool all the way tell 10pm kids had a blast

Cons: Price was high but it was summer in Del Mar (near the beach) so not really a surprise.

Pros: Very clean, and beautiful

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Friendliness of staff; upper scale room. We loved the room and hotel. They give you a coupon to eat in their cafe. Rooms have balconies. You can walk to several restaurants. If we were going to stay in Del Mar agzin, we would choose this hotel.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We enjoyed out stay at this property. Staff was friendly and efficient. Room was clean and comfortable which is very important to me. We ate at the restaurant and it was very good.

Cons: This is a very small detail, but represents comfort to me. While the property was remodeled recently and beautiful there were some details that bothered me. The doors to the rooms where scuffed and tacky looking. So it looks like they didn't replace the doors. The hook on the bathroom door was gone and the base was still there. Like I said small details, but important to me.

Pros: Literally everything! From the concierge assisting me in locating the best local restaurant, to the mini golf course that my kids enjoyed very much!

Cons: An additional fee was charged to my bank account, but was quickly reversed by staff.

Pros: Clean. Little bit of carpet in the room rather than all carpet. Pool was great. Even though it's in a commercial area there is lots of eat and a grocery store right by.

Pros: Great service in the restaurant. Waitstaff was very attentive, quick and helpful.

Cons: Higher water pressure, but it was typical of newer waterwise hotels.

Pros: Room was large and nice

Cons: In an office park with nothing to do or see around it

Pros: Great Location

Cons: Security-someone had key to the room and took an iPhone charger. Very large. There were teams of high school soccer teams staying. Cheaply remodeled but ok for the price.

Cons: Nope great hotel

Pros: The cleanliness, all that their is to do to keep us entertained.

Cons: You could hear people walking around on the floor upstairs and the ceiling would creak

Pros: The staff was amazing and the hotel was so nice. It was clean and had so many activities. The hotel restaurant was also really good! I will be staying here again!

Pros: It was clean and had great facilities around the hotel.

Cons: Dining was very basic. Disappointing as the location is far from the centre of Carlsbad and not near many restaurants.

Pros: The food at the restaurant was excellent!

Pros: friendley staff

Pros: Location was great. Right by the beach.

Cons: Staff was surly and acted as though we were imposing. Nobody introduced themselves. A man approached my girlfriend requesting her room key. We had no idea he worked there. The whole experience was uncomfortable and odd.

Pros: Very unique with a Spanish/south west vibe, loved it.....

Pros: The room the balcony the jacuzzi great place to stay.

Cons: The parking. Every thing else was great

Pros: The high ceilings and atmosphere of the room were really really nice. I enjoyed the fact that it is a locally owned business and there is a lot of thought put on creating a cozy and comfortable environment. The location is a huge plus too and I felt really lucky to be able to see both the sea and the stars from our room. Kind and helpful staff.

Cons: The rooms could be more sound proof.

Pros: Beautiful Japanese-styled hidden gem just a couple of blocks from the beach

Pros: Very quaint loved it

Cons: N/a

Pros: Friendly and helpful.

Cons: NA

Pros: A hidden gem for sure. Beautiful property, beyond gracious host, relaxing, tranquil with fountains everywhere~ A charming & unique property, uber soft sheets... I could go on and on.

Cons: Loved everything...really~

Pros: Great location

Cons: Bedding needs to be replaced

Pros: We loved the overall character of the hotel and the location was perfect! The staff was nice and very helpful. The room itself had a great view, rustic charm and plenty of space for what we needed. We would definitely stay again!

Cons: The toilet in the room would not stop running and the WiFi was spotty. Also, being so close to the beach, having an option for laundry would have been nice.

Pros: This is a great little quaint, boutique hotel. We loved the ambiance, the wonderful bed and bedding. The host was very nice and helpful. It was clean and the host served coffee and biscotti in the morning. ❤️

Pros: Wonderful surprise, great find. Each room has unique decor. Relaxing and and refreshing break from city surrounding. Easy walk to beach and shops. Can't say enough.

Pros: Beautiful property, very well kept. Amazing landscaping. Raj at the front desk was great.

Cons: Food very expensive for the quality it had. Food was ok yet very pricey. Nothing special. Waiter in the restaurant was not good, not attentive, we had to always look for him, he seemed annoyed by our questions. Forgot his name but I know he was Mexican as we asked him where he was from. We just wanted to look around at the Edge pool with our baby and got kicked out immediately, they did not even let us look around

Pros: Was very clean and spacious. The food was very good. Bed was comfortable.

Cons: Phones in room didn't work. The iron ruined my shirt and staff was indifferent. The service was poor especially for a $500/night room.

Pros: The grounds were amazing and well kept

Cons: The rooms were good but a little dated.

Pros: The pool area and various hot tubs were great. My kids did not come with, but looked like they had a great setup for the kids. I did not get a chance to golf, but having the golf course on site is awesome.

Cons: The facility was a bit spread out, so getting to the various places, especially with luggage, was a bit complex at times. Would have been nice to have been located a bit closer to our conference. Also would have been nice if the resort had a shuttle or two that went to downtown Carlsbad or the Ocean, etc.

Pros: Everything. The spa the view the room. It was a grear stay.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The pools, staff, and evening band were excellent.

Cons: The toilet was leaking. I called earlier about toilet issues and they sent somebody up to fix it. Later in the evening I noticed that it was leaking because my pants were wet.

Pros: Next time we pay that amount for a hotel room we would hope it not look and feel like a guest room in grandmothers home. Rooms are dated in furnishing, appearance, etc. they have used the old Spanish look as a crutch to not renovate and freshen up the facilities. Our stay at the Avirara was much more enjoyable And the accommodations and staff were exquisite. We will definitely stay there next time. The Omni was an “Omni” level disappointment.

Cons: Rooms needing update Spa staff was unwilling to allow for a day pass used on a Sunday even though my wife was going to get a massage and I was just going to use the Facilities. Bathroom shower grout Appeared visibly dirty. The bathroom had a musty smell about it as well.

Cons: Too crowded. Especially the pool area. Could not find seats for hours. Too expensive for what you get.

Pros: beautiful grounds, amazing amenities, gym is 1000x better than the photos show.

Cons: my impression is that it isn't worth it unless you are staying in the top-tier room. Ours was a standard room... long, far walk from all amenities and parking, basic room features that could use updating, weird bathroom/toilet/shower setup doesn't give any privacy, and TV was not operable 2 or the 3 nights we were there.

Pros: Staff was great, food was great, golf course was in wonderful shape, staff there was great too.

Cons: Our room, 802, smelled musty. We had to continuously sign back on to the free internet and sometimes it would take a half dozen attempts.

Pros: The outside of the Resort is well kept and staff are friendly.

Cons: The rooms were small for the price and the beds were very uncomfortable. We were on the second floor and we could here everything the people above use were doing. I called the front desk to change our room (since we still had one more night) because we couldn’t sleep, they said all the could do was send security to request them to keep the noise down. Which didn’t happen.

Pros: Restaurant had great good and the views were beautiful.

Cons: Updated room decor.

Pros: The lake was pretty

Cons: Pool hours (9 am to 9 pm) were not convenient. There were no tables anywhere on the property to play cards or board games except for the pool area which was always locked in the early morning.

Pros: Cute quiet area in the middle of town. Amazing staff

Pros: The concept of the hotel was very cute. The lake was pretty

Cons: Check in was a disaster. The staff did not seem interested or engaging at all. The messed up my sisters registration by charging her card with my room. The girl needed assistance with voiding the transaction and re-running my sisters card on the correct room, which took approx. 30 minutes to do. My other sister was checked into a storage closet room for some unbelievable reason. When I checked in after my two sisters they could not reprint the reservation summary that you sign for incidentals, etc. so I did not sign anything. when I did get my room I had to ask for my room keys and if there was anything they needed to tell me about check in and check out, Wifi, etc.. The customer service just was not there in my opinion. Once in the room there was a musty smell that we could not get past. The carpet was dirty and had spots on it. The bed was comfortable and the shower was clean, which is a huge win. I was there with 5 others and wanted to play a board game outside by the pool in the morning at around 7am. Unfortunately, the pool area is closed and did not open until 9am. We walked the grounds to try to find a table outside that we could sit at and play a game while drinking our morning coffee but this was impossible to find. We got home from the beach and dinner and went to go to the pool area to swim as we saw several people swimming. We found a table and started to get in the pool but were told that we had to leave because the pool was closed at 9am. Again the pool was closed! Very disappointed in the hours of the pool especially because it is summer in California. The pool area was trashed by partiers from the day and there were chairs that were flipped over and tons of trash around. We sat in the pool area for about 15 minutes prior to being told that it was closed and did not see anyone from the hotel straightening up the area. This property has potential but has missed out on the little items that make a property wonderful.

Pros: Location , views, activities

Pros: Beautiful resort. Clean and available parking. Safe environment, I slept very well no early noise even though lake was outside my balcony.

Cons: Not enough washcloths there was one washcloth,very minor but annoying to a mother whose kid used the one washcloth in bathroom.

Pros: We were visiting family who live nearby so the location was excellent. The two pools were great! Staff were very nice and took care of any issues that arose. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom showers are great

Cons: We had to move our room twice the first night we arrived due to a small bug issue. The housekeeping staff did not adequately clean our bathroom or replace some towels a few times but it was nothing serious. The pool can get very busy, especially on the weekend and towels can be scarce. That being said, I would definitely stay here again

Pros: The lakeside view.

Cons: A little over priced.

Pros: Loved everything about this place and will definitely be back! What a gem!

Pros: Location great, amenities great, the kids love the s’mores! The room was spacious and clean other than the carpet.

Cons: The carpet in the room was really dirty and had a lot of stains.

Pros: We were under the impression breakfast was included. Disappointed to learn it was not.

Cons: Our room had several things that needed attention. 1. The window and window coverings 2. The large (and very heavy) sliding door to the bathroom did not function at all. It was off the track in a way that we could not get it fixed. No privacy which was very inconvenient since we were staying there with our grandson. 3. It just appeared that many things were in need of a little TLC

Pros: Lovely place and space. Very relaxing and peaceful. Great value.

Pros: I liked the location ok. It was quiet and relaxing area

Cons: Our room was completely differnt than what we booked. Instead of a king bed, there were two full size beds. And instead of a lake view, we got a view of their parking lot. They refused to provide compensatio for there mistake. The Manager was very rude.
