Lakehouse Resort

4/10 Poor

"Carpets were dirty and stained, walls had scuffs on them and furniture was damaged. A/C barely worked and when I asked for someone to check it I was told this was energy saving option. Reservation was for four people, yet there were only three towels in the bathroom and two bottles of water. Lights were so dimmed you could barely see at night and some of them didn't work. Upon check-in I was invited to sign a document declining housekeeping services since we stayed three nights. Not a four star experience for sure."

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

6/10 Okay

"I was expecting something special when I booked this stay. It was OK… Certainly not special. The room was OK, not as nice as the price point would suggest as the suite’s furniture was shabby and worn. I have had better bedding at roadside motels at less than 1/5 the cost than the bedding here. It felt like sleeping on a piece of plastic and smelled like cheap deodorant. The spa was great, food was good, and staff was great. Early morning walks allowed for some great birding! Our “villa” had a washer and dryer! Our villa also felt like we were trapped in a cave, complete with the smell of mild mold. Additionally, I expected to see original art, not stuff hanging off walls that looked like it was purchased at a discount used furniture store. The carpet, especially the outdoor carpet, needs replaced. There are much better values out there, not sure I want to return."

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

6/10 Okay

"The property was/is being refurbished and the registration and front desk are completely closed. There was no clear signage telling us where to go to check in. We circled the building 3 times then parked and called the front desk. Got put on permahold but eventually got told where to go to check in. Then the check in process was painfully slow although the staff were very kind and doing best they could. I suggest a banner or two pointing people to temporarily check in area as well information on website and or emails to booked guests."

Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach

8/10 Good

"I liked the location, my room, and the pool area. However, my room key that was supposed to work to give me access to and egress from the gated parking never worked and I had to press the help button every single time. They opened the gate fairly quickly, but when you pay $29 for each day for parking, I should not have had to deal with this malfunction, wondering if I would get stuck. I also encountered a delay in checking out when the only person present at the counter was entangled in a lengthy endeavor with another party, but completely ignored me and failed to inform me that it would be ok to just drop the keys in the key box until much later."
