Top Carlsbad Hotel Reviews

West Inn & Suites

West Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel! Comfortable bed with a cozy duvet/comforter (I am often a little cold at night at hotels and wasn't here.) Breakfast was scrambled eggs, tater tots, sausage, or waffles as well as the usual breads, oatmeal, cereal and yogurt. The pool was clean but the hot tub was down for maintenance. I would choose this hotel again."

8/10 Good

"The clerk when we checked in was not friendly at all, but everyone else was. The rooms are starting to be updated (floors and paint). However, the furniture and the showers are old. Our room also had a horrible musty smell. The breakfast offers a lot of options and was good. For the price and location it is well worth it."
