Top Play by Play Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Carlsbad by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Lakehouse Resort

8/10 Good

"Parking was great. The staff at was accommodating. There was a leak in the room above us. They fixed it and knocked off the resort fee."

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego North San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"The Residence Inn by Marriott is a very clean and well maintained hotel, with a great parking area, convenient to main roads and Interstate 78 near shops, restaurants, fast food, and convenience stores. The Junior Suite where we stayed was large enough and had a nice kitchen with all the appliances plus pots, china, utensils, coffee maker, etc. The front desk attendants, manager and service workers offered a great level of customer service. The breakfast is excellent and offer a good variety of pastries, waffles, cereals, yogurts, juices, coffee, etc. The swimming pool is clean and very nice. We had a great time and will stay at this hotel again and again. We recommend this hotel."

Hyatt Place San Diego/Vista-Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"It was just a good stay. The breakfast was wonderful. The room was big and spacious. I would book again. The only issue was the pool area was not that clean and there were mattresses outside the hotel."

Days Inn by Wyndham San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"No pool Saturday due to needing cleaning. Stay was based on pool use with kids."

Extended Stay America Premier Suites - San Diego - San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel very calm place nice and quiet"

Staybridge Suites Carlsbad by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

A Slice of Paradise inside the Omni La Costa resort, Carlsbad! Villa 6534

10/10 Excellent

"Property was beautiful and room was very nice and clean. Highly recommend and will return."

Two Estates w/ Pools, Hot Tub, Game Rooms, Views & Tennis Court Near Wineries

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a great stay and a very nice property. The rooms are big, the views spectacular, the kitchen(s) fully stocked with dishes, flatware and cookware for 40. Lots of spaces for people to hang out and easy walk from one property to the other (we rented both). The feeling is grand but a little worn, making it elegant but very comfortable. The one hiccup was with pool heating - be sure you know what the ambient temperature of the pool is before requesting (and paying for ) heating. Communication is also a bit of an issue - there's Bob, the owner (very responsive and helpful, but not really "on call"), the AvantStay representative (very responsive but limited in what she can do decision wise), the AvantStay 800 number (also easy to access, polite and courteous and eager to help, but don't make decisions - they pass it up "the chain" and get back to you) and the final level behind the curtain where the decisions are made and passed down but with whom the renter cannot communicate directly. We had several situations where this was not a problem - for example, the AC didn't work upstairs in one of the houses when we arrived and it was replaced the next morning. But when it came to heating the pool it led to miscommunication and a lot of frustration. Fortunately, they eventually understood and resolved the issue fully. with that one caveat, I would recommend the place totally."
