Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA - North Near Legoland

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasantly surprised by this Motel 6 , easy check in process , friendly , quiet , peaceful , and extremely comfortable bed and amazing pillows . Everything worked , cable tv had a nice selection.parking is perfect , don’t advise expecting to park 2 cars otherwise, there are other overflow accommodation Nextdoor or on street which is fair considering it’s a small establishment. It is quant with pretty landscaping, designated smoking away from rooms , clean pool . You get what you pay for and then some … it’s so close to the beach and Carlsbad Village , tourist attraction’s. Very nice decor and Ive been in every caliber of accommodations all over the US . This Motel 6 hands down is in a nice location and close to all. Freeway is a little loud depending on your room location . Just turn up the A/C Great Motel Stay"

Villa Bahia Your Waterfront Private Beach Retreat in Beautiful Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"The hosts were incredibly helpful, they even asked if we were visiting for a special occasion, and curated a wonderful gift basket full of games and treats. The house itself is amazing, the children enjoyed the playroom as much as the pool. There was plenty of space for everyone and so many things to do."

Hyland Inn Near Legoland

8/10 Good

"The room was great for the price. The room was clean, although it would be nice to add some air freshener because it smelled a little. Also, the soup in the shower and sink are super watered down. Aside from that, all was good."

California Dreamin by AvantStay | Private Pool + Fire Pit | Near the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Safe neighborhood and close to the beach. Pool was amazing! Lots of room in the house to spread out for the eight of us. Only complaint was that the bathrooms were oddly connected. A full bath shared a door with a half bath and the door didn’t lock. The bathroom in the master didn’t lock either. And the fourth bedroom was open to the living room. So just a bit of a challenge with privacy for everyone, but we figured it out. Host was wonderfully responsive. And no tasks to be done upon check out which was amazing for a change. A great experience!"

Peaceful 2BR Carlsbad condo just 1½ blocks from the beach

10/10 Excellent

"This is older construction which means the rooms are bigger than what we find elsewhere. For us, it was perfect. We liked the space, kitchen and just the ambience. The host was very helpful, prompt in his response to any questions. The unit is close to the beach which was the added benefit. Since it is on a cul de sac, there was no beach traffic either.We had one parking spot and we parked the second car on the street."
