Top GIA Museum Hotel Reviews

Best Western Carlsbad by the Sea

8/10 Good

"Pros: 1. Frederick (Sp?) was THE MAN. I came in from a long delayed flight late at night and had to get up VERY early in the morning for a conference. I realized (after reading reviews AFTER booking) that the motel is close to a freeway and that rooms facing the freeway could be noisy. I'm a light sleeper and was very worried about this checking in. I asked Frederick if he could assign me a room facing away from the freeway, and he upgraded me for free so that I could get a quieter room. He went above and beyond and really made a pretty crappy evening of traveling after a long day at work so much better. Can't tell you how much I appreciated his warm welcoming demeanor and taking the extra effort to make sure I was comfortable. 2. The pool and hot tub were great to have after my long days and not very crowded at all (granted it was early October) 3. 4 mins drive from a great beach! Cons: 1. The bed was not great. 2. Sheer curtains were completely see through. The lack of privacy and the intense light from the hallway shining through the windows would have really been a problem but I was able to solve the issue by clipping the shorter side curtains together. Why not just get full blackout or at least not see through curtains? 3. The room smelled musty and the carpet felt pretty gross to walk on."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

8/10 Good

"Checking in later than usual, but Charles was so very attentive and helpful."

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."

Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"Everything was great. The one exception was the bath tub had only 1 grab bar, and it was at the end of the tub. I did slip in the tub and skinned my knee. Not serious, but some bleeding."

West Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"All is excellent except it is kinda far from everything except if u want to go to legoland which would be perfect."

Grand Pacific Palisades

8/10 Good

"Love the separate bedrooms for our family with walking distance to Legoland! Beautiful ocean views and fun splash area and playground on the property. The only thing we thought unusual was the room upkeep itself: you can only request a change of sheets and other things needed. They only come to replace towels and paper goods Tuesdays and Thursdays. We did not realize our bedding was not already included during those days and came back to the same sheets, and the same dirty makeup towel on the bathroom counter, not replaced. By the time we wanted our sheets done again, we were too busy to make that request. It should be a requirement of changed sheets every two days or three at the request of the guest. Same may find this convenient to request whatever is needed but we found it rather another hurdle when we had so much going on during the day."

Carlsbad Seapointe Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Love this location for vacation"

Ocean Front+ Theater Room +Hot Tub + Game Room

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic property! For our mid-week sales retreat, we really couldn't have asked for more: amazing location, room to gather as well as room to spread out, all amenities we needed and some (white board was a unexpected bonus)."
