Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel

Attended an event at the windmill next door and got a room so we didn’t have to drive home after the event. The hotel looked like a nice beach hotel. The room itself was laid out well for us and the accessible shower was great with ample grab bars. However, I had a bad feeling when we arrived to find the lobby closed and the front desk was crammed into a small hotel room. The staff was pleasant enough and checked us in quickly. The room itself had some problems. There was no soap at the bathroom sink so I’m guessing housekeeping failed to restock the room. The flooring in the room is hardwood floors which is okay, but it’s clear the floors are not properly cleaned regularly because after walking around the room for a few minutes white sock bottoms were brown with grime. Made us not w

I booked this room for two days, as I planned a trip to Legoland ith my two boys which was conveniently close by. We drove 2 and a half hours away and the front desk said the room was ready early and cleaned prior to our arrival. This was good news as my two boys were tired and needed a good night sleep.||Upon entering the room, I noticed the floor was dirty so I decided to pull back the bed sheets and noticed they were dirty and some sort of debris on them. Disgusted by this, I immediately informed the front desk. They sent a housekeeper with new sheets and blankets. I also had them replace the mattress cover and pillows. The housekeeping gal moped the floors as well. ||This was frustrating as we had to wait until this was completed and my kids were tired and hungry. Once housekeeping was

Positive: I appreciated that the staff was nice enough to decorate the room with the stuff I had delivered for my boyfriend’s birthday. Negative: Hotel room was great but the grounds of the property could use some better renovation. Still great for a 3star hotel. Would like room service & add-on services like rose petals, etc.

Very clean and comfortable hotel. With my bag back it's hard to find a next that I can comfortably sleep in my the bed here was great for me and I was able to get up immediately and even walk without the typical pain I deal with. Close to a lot of local attractions. Beach. Lego Land. Etc. Very comfortable place at a very reasonable price, especially for the area I would have expected quite a bit more in price. Rooms, beds and bathroom were all very clean being in "one of those people" that take a good look before getting comfortable in a hotel.

ve stayed at Carlsbad by the Sea multiple times over the years, which makes this experience especially disappointing. DONT BOOK HEERE READ FIRST. On my most recent stay, I was given a confirmed late checkout time of 1:00 PM. The main reason I requested this was to conduct important phone calls during the day. Despite this, starting around 10:00–10:30 AM, staff repeatedly knocked on my door asking if they could clean the room. This happened while I was on active business calls. A late checkout should mean privacy until the agreed time. On a previous stay, we encountered multiple roaches in our room. I took photos and reported it to management. The issue was not just the presence of roaches, but the lack of response. No discount, no compensation, no meaningful apology. We were simply moved
