8/10 Good

"Room was clean and had all the amenities. Breakfast was set out in an attractive fashion and well-organized. The staff was helpful."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My kids loved this hotel and so did we. The hotel and room was clean. They had so many fun amenities for kids. My only complaint is that a lot of the staff in the lobby area were not very friendly. They seemed bothered that we had questions and often misinformed us. I was not a fan of the self check-in. It feels very impersonal. The pool staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall we had a nice stay."

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."
