Top Museum of Making Music Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

8/10 Good

"My room was on the backside of the second building furthest from the front desk on the 3rd floor. This was mid-week overnight stay, and they had other rooms available that were closer."

Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful"

West Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are clean. Not too busy and very nice. Pleasant day."

The Cassara Carlsbad, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I loved that there is a fun pool for kids and a quiet pool. The rooms were very nice and the bed very comfortable. It is an excellent location. The food at the restaurant was delicious. I would definitely stay again."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast, clean room"

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful and relaxing place to stay. We took advantage of the pool, beach shuttle, restaurant and location. The location is wonderful to explore the amazing Cali beach towns. The restaurant exceeded all expectations not only with unique delish meals, but also in price and service. My only con is the excessive parking rate to stay here. It should be included."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Castle Legoland Hotel was truly amazing. My kids and my husband had a wonderful time, and the whole experience felt magical. The room was clean and exactly what I expected.The only thing I didn’t fully agree with was the check‑in and check‑out times. Checking in at 4 PM and checking out at 11 AM gives you less than 24 hours to enjoy the room.Aside from that, the breakfast was incredible, and being able to walk to the park in less than three minutes .Overall, my experience was phenomenal, and I would happily return."

Carlsbad Seapointe Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This location was nicer than expected. They had different events for guests every night we were there including s'mores outside and a movie night. They also offer free use of towels, chairs, and boogie boards for use on the beach. The fireplace was a nice touch in the room and it had a good variety of cooking utensils, pots and pans for longer stays. I highly recommend this location."

MarBrisa Carlsbad Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful hotel complex to stay at! It was perfect!!!"
