Top Olde Carlsbad Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"Staff was great. Property was nice. I loved the Village café next door. I would come back just for that!"

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful time at LEGOLAND Hotel! Seeing how excited our two boys were from the moment we arrived made the whole trip so special. They absolutely loved the LEGO-themed hotel, all the fun activities, and collecting pop badges! There was always something to keep them entertained, and watching them enjoy every little detail was honestly the best part for us. We also loved having breakfast and dinner at Bricks Family Restaurant, and being so close to the park made everything much easier with two little ones. It was such a fun, memorable family getaway, and we made so many sweet memories together. Our boys are already asking when we can go back!"
