Top Play by Play Hotel Reviews

Staybridge Suites Carlsbad by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall, the stay was good. Check in was easy. The pool was nice. Breakfast had good options unless you have dietary restrictions. For gluten free there was fruit, potatoes, eggs, and corn flakes. The elevator was out of order during our stay which was inconvenient because we were on the 2nd fl. They did offer a full refund if we didn't want to stay, however it was via text a couple of hours before we arrived so even if it had been a dealbreaker, super late notice. I feel bad for the housekeeping staff who we saw lugging linens and towels in huge bags up the stairs. Hopefully they get it fixes asap."

Ayres Hotel Vista Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was welcoming and friendly. We loved the spacious and comfortable room. We would stay there again."

Extended Stay America Premier Suites - San Diego - San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place"

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego North San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"My wife booked this hotel so we could have an shorter drive after a wedding event. We got the room with minimal expectations as we were going to be in and out. Check in was great as the front counter was very welcoming and explained everything briefly. We asked questions about pool hours and breakfast start times and he answered them plus informed us of the closing of the front doors after hours. Our room was clean, spacious, and had great amenities. Kitchen, dining room, full bathroom and it was conveniently next to the pool. Though, that last part was just a lucky coincidence. Checkout was seamless and all that was taken out was $5 for parking. Overall great stay!"

Hyatt Place San Diego/Vista-Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious, nice, and clean. The shower was large. I would have given ( stars, but the breakfast food was all dry. We went elsewhere for breakfast."

Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego North/San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were cleaned every other day which was fine. We just requested clean towels everyday which were delivered. Breakfast was the usual continental, but it was nice. They kept it stocked and cleaned up. Parking was great. No extra cost and enough spots so you weren't driving around looking for one."
