Top Carlsbad Ranch Hotel Reviews

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We went to Encinitas for a family vacation, and to our surprise, it turned out to be such a wonderful place to stay. The small, enclosed pool and hot tub were excellent and created a cozy atmosphere. It felt more like a small family gathering than a typical hotel, which we really enjoyed. Parking was super convenient, with plenty of spaces available. Breakfast was great, and the location was close to everything we wanted to visit. We would definitely stay here again. The only downside was the TVs in the rooms - they’re quite basic. Since we were traveling with kids, having a more modern TV with updated features would have made relaxing in the room much more enjoyable."

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a great size with a separate bedroom area. The bathroom and shower were perfect for the family. We spent most of the time at the splash zone pools where the small water slide was where our daughter was enjoying most of her time. The restaurant and marketplace were great and the ice cream was delicious! Highly recommended for families with children."

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"We stay here once a year when we are in the area and you will not find a better hotel for the price. We love the suite-style rooms, which are perfect for our family of 4 and our dog. Everyone is very friendly. The made-to-order omelette bar is great for breakfast. The rooms are also very clean. There is also a shopping center with dining options within walking distance."

The Cassara Carlsbad, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The property is really wonderful if you're visiting Carlsbad area. It is well located, close to Legoland , and Carlsbad village is only 5 minutes away. The pool is clean and quiet, the breakfast is excellent and the rooms are spacious and nice. Our new favorite!!"

Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"First time at this Westin in Carlsbad. Check-in was smooth and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Went to the room and it was on the first floor but also, once we opened the door, the smell of smoke was overwhelming. Called to the front desk which was answered by the hotel next door. They tried to help but ultimately couldn’t since I was requesting to move rooms. I was connected to the staff member in the Westin and she moved us to a 3rd floor room and it did not smell of smoke. We were only there for 1 night to celebrate my birthday. In the morning, 2 times the cleaning staff tried to come in the room. Luckily we had it double locked or else they would’ve walked right in. It was very strange since check out was at noon."
