"We had a great stay! The hotel was clean, the accommodations were comfortable, and it was perfect for our family. It shares a courtyard with the Holiday Inn, where the kids had plenty to do: Connect Four, darts, miniature golf, and even a basketball they could check out. The pool was clean and inviting, and the bar and restaurant were open in the evenings from 5 to 10 p.m. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!"

Top Craftsmanship Museum Hotel Reviews

Lakehouse Resort

10/10 Excellent

"😃"

Ayres Hotel Vista Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very comfortable & we loved the views. The staff were all happy & helpful. The breakfast with made to order omelets & large selection of fresh fruits, cereals, waffles & more was excellent. We will definitely return. Thank you!"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Spotlessly clean, very large 1 bedroom suite, ok breakfast food was kind of cold and not very many healthy options but that’s just personal preference. My kids liked it. Pool was nice as well."

Staybridge Suites Carlsbad by IHG

10/10 Excellent

Hampton Inn Carlsbad-North San Diego County

8/10 Good

"Just ok. Probably would choose another option next time. One of the elevators not working, made for long waits and the stairs were far far away. Appreciate the little gym, but absolutely no breakfast bar. Decent restaurant/bar across the parking lot, probably the highlight ... live music. Appeared to be some nefarious activity going on. It didn't feel unsafe, but they weren't very good at hiding it."

Hyatt Place San Diego/Vista-Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean."

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"We had yet another great stay at the Omni La Costa! I do think they need to give the resort rooms a deep clean. This was the 3rd stay where it wasn't super clean with a bit mold in the shower. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of."

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego North San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"This property is exceptional they even keep notes from previous bookings so they could remember you when you visit again. It was my kids birthday and they even gave him a toy and asked him about his plans for his birthday celebration my kid turned 6 and he's already asking when we will be staying there again. Breakfast is great and the staff is great. Will be booking this place from now on."
