Top Riverwalk Recreation Center Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel looks like it's pretty new and in good shape, well maintained. They were doing a whole property remodel so it will be even nicer once it's completed. Breakfast was good, nice options ."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"This a good passing by, last minute hotel. It needs some renovations, breakfast was not good, we went somewhere else for that. Bed was ok, cleanliness could be improved."

Fiddler's Inn

8/10 Good

"Easy to get to and catty-corner from an Albertson's so if you need snacks or supplies you can walk to it. Main concern was that the front was not well-lighted: hard to find after dark as it's in a residential area and the neighboring properties look the same. Also, there was no porch light so you had a hard time punching in your keycode numbers. We stayed in the 2-room suite (the Orange Blossom), which had a big bed in each but the room that doubled as the front didn't have a good lounge area in the front part - it could have used a couple of comfy chairs or a loveseat. The breakfast is a cafe a couple of doors down and you get an $18 voucher, which pretty much covers a coffee and a treat for two people. No complaints about that! The backyard cat was preoccupied with a dead bird so he didn't greet us. I cannot fault the humans for this. All in all a very nice place that could use just a little more to push it over the top, but well worth your visit."

Carlsbad Inn New Mexico

8/10 Good

"The sign says newly remodeled. The sign must be old. A clean decent place to sleep. Just hasn’t been updated in a while. No breakfast."
