Top Carlsbad Ranch Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham San Diego - Miramar

10/10 Excellent

"I had low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. Very clean, looks like room was recently refurbished. Everything worked as it should. Even being close to the freeway, it was not noisy."

Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Whole experience was a A+. Room was clean, towels were stocked if anything was needed you could either ask house keeping or front desk and they were more than happy to help. Parking was deducted from deposit which makes it easier and convenient. Breakfast is not included."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property is wonderful for children. Very very safe. I was most impressed with the lifeguards at the pool. 4 on duty, 100% focused on the swimmers. Rooms were well thought out and stocked with what’s needed. This resort does not nickel and dime you. Their complimentary breakfast is excellent with many, many choices. A must stay if you are going to go to Lego land."
