Top North Ponto Beach Hotel Reviews

Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel, Carlsbad, Series By Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place."

The Cassara Carlsbad, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

""I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The amenities, including the pool , were top-notch. The location was perfect, close to local attractions and great dining options. Overall, an excellent experience that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free stay!""

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"good location, excellent room, pool, food and staff. the only bad thing is the beach across the street is all rocks."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

8/10 Good

"This hotel was fine for what we needed. However, while I understand the local price is high and that is ultimately why we stayed here, it felt like a ripoff. The motel 6 we stayed at prior was better. Breakfast was good! We did not use the pool. I did like that we could walk to the beach from the hotel. It’s not terrible…. It’s just okay, fine. lol The bathroom was kinda gross. The air conditioner worked but leaked water outside our room pretty badly. I am sure that will take a toll on the building eventually."

Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach

8/10 Good

"Stay was decent overall with location convenient to local beaches and Carlsbad Village. Nice pool and jacuzzi. Room service and housekeeping daily was attentive. Our specific room met most of our needs but unfortunately it had an unusual musty smell. The AC vent also was quite rusty. Maybe this specific Hilton is a little dated. Almost little to no hooks in the bathroom to hang towels or clothes. Thankfully there were plenty of hangers to use. Never understood why hotels charge separate for daily parking fee, as if there is an option to opt out and park elsewhere. $29 dollars seems to be a little steep for daily parking fee. Parking fee should just be built into the daily room rate."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. The staff was so kind and accommodating. Room was clean and super fun for my kid. We loved all of the fun decorative details in our room. Loved the kids dance club. This was our first trip to Legoland and we will be back soon."

West Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very nice stay for our family. The room was very spacious and we appreciated the additional living room. It was quiet at night. The breakfast was pretty decent and standard. Our kids enjoyed the milk and cookies. We’ll definitely stay here again."

Hotel Solea, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Customer service was okay, room was not that clean ( walls , floor), bathtub is worn out, needs remodeling for the price that we pay."

Carlsbad Seapointe Resort

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay , the elevator being down was my only disappointment . Wish it wasn’t . Also asked for a late check out and it was denied"
