Overall we had a hreat experience here The room was clean with fresh linens (though the cabinet holding the mini fridge was damaged resulting in some sharp edges we had to watch the kids around

) The breakfast was good They had some hot options They kept the amount out smaller than other places we have stayed at This resulted in getting hotter food, but sometimes having to wait a while for them to refill a pan The front desk was friendly Location fairly convenient to things we needed, but not right by anything Our main issue this visit is that we were to there would be 1 housekeeping during our 5 night stay I scheduled this upon check-in and it did not happen I then requested it for the following day and it did not happen all I ended up getting them to do for us, over the 5 nights, is empty the trash once and get us some clean towels

Eric Valadez

I used to stay here all the time before the pandemic to visit family and friends Ignore the negative reviews Reading reviews people are acting as if service went down hill and due to the no turn down service unless 4 day stay you would run out of supplies and also that the free breakfast went downhill

Because of this I went to the hotel with extra toilet paper, trash bags, tissues and snacks I was there for 3 nights and did not need any of this Staff was friendly and attentive I had enough supplies that I did not need to request more and if I did the staff would provide it The hot breakfast was from 7-10 weekends and once went to 10:30 Breakfast during the week was 6-9 When something ran out it was replaced as fast as humanely possible while having to be cooked There was eggs, sausage, waffles, cereals, oatmeal, fruit, coffee, tea, juice, water, bagels, and various breads Room was clean I was worried the place went downhill, but it was just the same as it’s always been Will be staying again

Gordon Cohen

The hotel facility was lovely and room was huge Front desk was very courteous and helpful, except for the limitations shown below However, we could not get any housekeeping for our 4-day stay and had to ask daily for new linen

Garbage and old linen pickup had to be left outside the room in the hall Breakfast was substandard relative to Fairfield Inns

Robert Van Brunt

Very nice accommodations Excellent guest services Nice clean rooms

Fun pool for the kiddos and jacuzzi for adults The windmill food hall was topnotch not a bad thing there Everything was so delicious! Perfect location for great food and beach access minutes awayThe premium outlets across the street were perfect for some retail therapy too

Chris Weiner

Far and away the best experience I’ve had staying at a Carlsbad hotel The service was great, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the pool is heated perfectly, and the location is fantastic It’s right next to all the great Carlsbad attractions like Legoland, the beach is close by, and same with the village, but also plenty of shopping and great restaurants to choose from all within walking distance

I had to make last minute reservations, which they were able to help me out with I also had to extend my stay at the last minute and they were able to get it doneAll and all, it was a great experience I’d highly recommend this hotel

Joe Bodick

This unique hotel was a great respite from our busy Legoland trips!The rooms were very clean and comfortableThe pool was great for the kidsLisa and Chad were so helpful and nice!The food hall had a lot of choices, which was great for our picky little eaters

Outlet mall across the street was convenient, too

We experienced a very nice spacious, quiet, clean, well decorated , comfortable room The breakfast was very good All the staff that we encountered was very friendly and helpful

It was conveniently located near the freeway, stores and restaurantsWe would stay there again and probably will

I wanted to love the Best Western Escondido—there really are few decent hotels in Escondido It’s attractive and in a convenient location Our room was clean and beds were comfortable, if worn

Common areas were quite messy with trash piled up, and breakfast was okay I was not given the AAA rate, though I showed my card Wifi was completely inadequate even to check emails much less stream something The biggest problem was that (at the end of a very long day of moving) there was NO HOT WATER The tepid water there was was a disturbing brown color Front desk said he would “see what [he] could do to take care of the situation,” and, though the owner replies that it was fixed 45 minutes later, we never heard from him again and didn’t know it was fixed Apparently Best Western will not do something to make this right; a room with an unusable bath/shower is definitely not worth $374

James Hardin

If you have to save money then it will do, once you get to the room make sure you can adjust air conditioning down to 67 degrees or so, we could not and we had to play the blanket game( try to figure out how much blanket to cover yourself with) We did let the front desk know after our first of two night stay and they said they would take care of it, they didn’t Nice neighborhood, outdated rooms

Sebastian Caballaro

The hotel is nice and super clean There’s no breakfast included with any room but there’s a Starbucks in the hotel which is really convenientParking is free and generally no issues to find a spot

The pool is nice and clean, 5ft max depthWiFi is free for basic and there’s an available option for paid premiumThe rooms are quiet and the mattresses are the most comfortable mattress we had during our tripThe cable options are pretty basic and much more dated than what you’d find at a Springhill Suites for instance

krizhia roxas

We’ve been here for an hour now Once we opened the room, it smells like cigarette I didn’t complain and just opened the sliding doors and let the air circulate

Now, I’ve noticed there’s a used wingstop cup under the table Called front desk Frontdesk said the room has been cleaned and housekeeping probably just didn’t see the cup Aren’t they supposed to clean the WHOLE ROOM especially since we’re living in a pandemic? The front desk didn’t offer a resolution, probably cause I didn’t ask for a room change Or maybe I should really complain before we get better service? Not gonna stay here again after this

Dwight Osteen

They don’t clean the rooms They tell you that if you ask for it to happen every day they will do it I was there 4 nights, requested fresh towels and cleaning every night

They never came Also upon my arrival there was a dirty wash cloth in the middle of the room floor Staff was nice enough even if they didn’t do what they said

Mountain View

The Lakehouse has always been my favorite place, with its picture-perfect Mountain and Lake San Marcos LSM Marina is a must to enjoy water sports or simply cruise and admire the surroundings I am very happy with the pontoon boat that I rented

I must say that I’ve seen them a lot cleaner back in 2014-2016 and they seem to be the same boats this 2022 which explains why there are stains all around or weather damages on the leather seats, which are understandable when used over the years No complaints on the same awesome experience Just a suggestion if the management wants to improve by sanitizing better, change upholstery or deep-clean everything The staff who answered my call like Liam and the guys assisting at the dock are all very welcoming I’ll still give it a 5⭐️ And we’ll definitely be back

Jack Bowman

My wife and I came here on our honeymoon We had an absolute blast This place was worth every penny we spent on it

It’s up-to-date, very clean, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the amenities kept us very busyFor starters, they have several fire pits around the pool area (and a fantastic hot tub), which they give you smores to roast over It’s very cute They also give you a free bucket of balls for their driving range The poolside bar wasn’t incredibly well stocked for making custom requests, but their house drinks were just fine for us and the bartender was very nice and made us laughWe are already planning to come here again next time we decide to visit San Marcos

Max Delbecq

Pros: nice little lake with small, retirement community/golf vibe Nice boats – the small pontoon boat was really fun for our family of 3 for an afternoon picnic on the water Could have easily fit 6-7 people comfortably

Liked being able to book in advance via the websiteCons: employees, which are just a bunch of youngsters, were a little disorganized Price is high for a couple hours on a lake ($100/hour for the small pontoon boat + tax)

My son had a soccer tournament in Oceanside this past weekend and when I went to book unfortunately everything close was booked or overpriced We decided on this Hotel due to short distance from event All I can say is wow ! This small hotel is beautiful, spotless and customer service is above and beyond

It has a warm and cozy feel but yet the right amount of luxury I saw several guests with dogs and families with small children They have a nice pool and hot tub with towels provided 5-9 pm M-S happy hour at their bar with 2$ cocktails & beer I have to mention a gentleman that was there until late when we checked in and was also there first thing in the morning This guy was unbelievable! From working at the desk, to cleaning , running food out and much more Jack of all trades but with an amazing attitude and smile for someone who’s obviously overworked I believe his name was Mr Holmes and definitely deserves props He made a world of difference It did seem they were a bit short staffed during the happy hour and breakfast but you’d never notice due to the teamwork and positive staff Best complimentary breakfast I’ve had at any small hotel Chef preparing omelettes and small waffles and self serve bacon , sausage and eggs Cereal bowls , milk , coffee and muffins 24hr free hot coffee in lobby Super nice fitness room and small laundry Amazing rooms in pristine condition with super comfortable bedding , ice cold air , microwave and fridge Large restroom with oversized round tub perfect for a relaxing bubble bath The patio was decorated beautifully with lights , fire pits and water features Very tasteful modern decoration all throughout We were super tired after long day in the sun at my sons tournament and it was perfect to unwind in the beautiful outdoor setting Very quiet place I highly recommend this hotel and I’m looking forward to coming back with my family soon Thank you for making our stay so pleasant at such an affordable price and to all the employees for being so hospitable though working hard

Kelsey Edwards

Great service! Everyone at the front desk was lovely – especially Sean The lobby was clean and inviting, the rooms were comfortable and fresh smelling (and I was happy they came equipped with a microwave and fridge), and the hot tub was the perfect temperature Had a lovely stay and would definitely return

The only slightly annoying thing was how loud the doors were when they shut, I happened to have pretty active neighbors and every time they opened/closed that door in the late evening it woke me out of my sleep

Luba K

Amazing brand new hotel!! Everything is super clean and still has a new furniture smell Beds & pillows are very comfortable Room was very spacious with a large bathroom, microwave & mini fridge

Location is great too- about 30 min out from the beach, Target right around the corner, and coffee and restaurants near by The breakfast was great– omlettes made to order and decent selection of breakfast items Patio had plenty of seating & was pretty cozy Pricing was very competitive compared to other lower grade hotels in the area Would definitely be staying here again on out next trip

I have stayed four times in the last year The hotel in nice, I like the location and amenities I’ve never had an issue

This trip I had someone staying above me, I’ve had this on all my other trips as well, but the special guest above me on this trip was loud I normally don’t wake up for anything but this guest was loud Night one they woke me up at 2:30, by 3 I had to complain They quieted until 5:45… The next night they were quiet after midnight, but everyday by 6 they were making exceptionally loud noise I complained three more times on this trip and requested a different room twice, but am told there are no more rooms My company rents the rooms in this hotel and had a block of 15, and then we didn’t use them, so really I am pretty sure there are rooms On top of that, a majority of hotels try to keep, until a certain hour each day, a few back up rooms, maybe this hotel doesn’t do that but I remain skeptical The staff is always pleasant and I have no complaints around them I just wish there was some sort of enforcement of their noise policies because i was exhausted all week with someone thundering around above me at odd hoursI can tell you now though, I will no longer be recommending this hotel and I will be requesting a change from my company as well

Cascer Ender

The hotel was great, except for the bed and pillows 5 minutes laying your head on a pillow before it felt like there was nothing there The bed was extra firm and provided me with morning back pain

The staff were helpful and nice The room looked cleaned, as well as the bathroom area The location was great with 5 4-star restaurants nearby

Marissa Griffin

I’ve stayed at Marriott hotels exclusively for years and this is by far the worst location I’ve ever been at Shower head looks as if it hasn’t been cleaned in months and is covered in soap scum We were transferred here after another Marriott in the area had a pipe rupture and had no running water

Attempted to speak with the manager to see if he had an update on the other location as I was told I was only able to stay one night because of their occupancy and he was absolutely disgustingly rude I don’t know what it is about the Marriotts in this particular town but their service is not up to par with the Marriott brand, their employees are incompetent and rude, and the cleanliness is subpar Save your money and stay at a Motel 6 you’ll have the same experience at a quarter of the price

Simple room at a good price Mini fridge was nice AC worked a treat in the humidity

Building clean decent spot if you have Kids as there is a Court for Basketballs, Put golf, Pool and tennis courts not to mention a outside barwe Stayed one night and the only gripe was the charger that was claimed to be there was no longer there there are chargers across a very quiet street so it was more then fine

Emily Feldkamp

My normal Carlsbad hotel was booked when I was in town this last time so I gave the Holiday Inn a shot The front desk employees were top notch and super friendly The breakfast attendees were also great

The room itself was pretty standard for a Holiday Inn My biggest disappointment was that their bike rental station did not work -as a triathlete that travels a lot I was so excited to have an option to bike outside but ended up having to use the workout room recumbent bike instead which is really not ideal All in all it was a wonderful stay and I would totally stay here again, just be aware the outdoor bike rentals don’t work!

Tom Sparks

I was in town on business and booked this hotel The front desk staff was friendly and helpful when asking questions about where to eat in the area I ordered some food and drinks at the bar, great service there! The room was clean and quiet! the only downside if I can complain at all is the wifi seemed a bit lagging

I download and upload a lot of files each day and that was a bummer but can’t complain too much about it I didn’t get to check out the pool or fitness center this trip but I wouldn’t hesitate on staying there again in the future!

The staff at the hotel greeted us nicely upon our arrival We immediately got a room assigned to us and we were explained the breakfast schedule and the housekeeping policy There was always fresh coffee in the dining area

The breakfast buffet was an added bonus The kids really enjoyed the pool which was kept at a warm temperature They had a blast swimming We stayed two nights and got to explore some really cool beaches, the Carlsbad Mall, and Legoland for a day We had a great overall experience and will be coming back soon!

Good quality hotel!Great front staff, helpful, friendly, and quick It was a painless experience checking inHotel and rooms looked neat

It seems like they were just remodeled or renovated But the entrance, lobby area, laundry, ice machine, hallways, elevator, and the rooms looked new!Rooms were very clean, and spacious Bathroom was cool too, also spaciousHotel is like 10 minutes from the I-5 Good experience so far!

Matthew Charnell

The first room we walked into smelled like throw up They changed our room and while the smell was better, the bathroom vent did not work The first couple mornings had decent breakfast

On the third morning we walked into the breakfast area to be presented by scraps: no plates, no utensils, no real food My children and I are unable to enjoy our vacation when we pay for a service and do not receive it This ruined my vacation Don’t let this place ruin yours

These guys went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable I was there with my daughters and we loved the beach vibes Immaculate and beautiful suite with everything we needed

We loved and used the complementary surfboards and bikes and appreciated the tips on where to go We loved the spa-like atmosphere of the hot tub and fire pit-very relaxing The owners personally reached out to us to ensure we had a great experience Check-in and out were smooth and convenient We will definitely be back Thank you for an unforgettable senior trip for my girls!

Candus Suppelsa

We loved our stay at this hotel! The location is perfect for walking to coffee, restaurants and the beach The vibe in the room is beautiful- a retro feel – minimalist yet has everything you need – super clean and cozy Love the sitting area directly outside the room

The owner was great and made sure we had everything we needed Would love to come back!

Paul Matz

If you are looking for a get away that reflective of the southern California Surf community, the Green Room in Ocean Side is the perfect place It is a renovated hotel on Carlsbad Blvd (aka the South Coastal Highway) located with lots of other cool businesses There’s a great natural food grocery store across the street, and many restaurants and cafes within 2 blocks

The hotel rooms are very cool – modern and very functional – with new appliances and furniture Very comfy Breakfast if a continental/American version: really dominant coffee and donuts from a neighboring cafe is out early by the fire pit and hot tub, where you can hang out chatting with other guests There are cruiser bikes and surf boards on hand to borrow The shore is a few block walk, with multiple access points for surfers to get into the water The beach and Ocean Side Pier is a bit further off – an easy bike ride The town streets avail lots of interesting people watching as you explore The area where the Green Room is is quite different from the area around the Pier, and has a much more down to earth and casual feel, very relaxing Definitely worth a weekend visit!

Excellent facility, well managed and maintained, with very good hot breakfast Food service, housekeeping, and front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful Our room with two queen beds was more spacious than some but had a pretty small refrigerator, something we use a lot when traveling

That was my only complaint but not serious enough to lower my top rating

Tara Covey

Our stay was this feb 2022 it was just wonderful The room was clean, the price was good The customer service was outstanding! They made fresh cookies and coffee every day

The ladies working were so sweet all of them! The breakfast was really good They had fresh eggs, bacon or ham, toast orange juice coffee or teas, blueberry muffins, a really good waffle maker I was impressed We were really really satisfied with the hotel And would definitely go back! Thanks guys!

The bathrooms were nice and the hospitality was very pleasant Our room had a huge balcony, the view was the free way but it was still okay other than the massive amount of spider webs everywhere The room had a weird smell but that is common when you near areas with water

We stayed here because they said they had cribs for babies which ended up just being a playpen The complimentary breakfast was the best part, fresh omelets, waffle, bacon, and of course a the standard items Sound travels through the walls and room very easily but overall id stay here again

We must have hit a bad night

our stay was not great We got a suite to accommodate our family Upon arrival at around 7pm, we got into our room to find zero toilet paper [yep, 2 empty toilet paper holders with no extra rolls], an empty kleenex box, and a very musty smell There was no TV remote, no blanket for the fold out bed, and only 2 towelsfor a suite The front desk man was apologetic and got the things that were missing But if they knew we were coming, shouldn’t that all have been checked beforehand? Also, the bathroom was very dirty, and it was gross We have 3 girls, so I understand it’s hard to clean up hair But there was so much hair on the floor and in the tub, and it was nasty I will post pics to show We paid over $200 for this room, and we’ve stayed in much nicer for much less The next night we stayed in a different hotel for cheaper and it was so much better and cleaner The 2 good things were the nice front desk clerk and the sheets were soft

For the money, this was an excellent hotel The staff was ultra friendly, helpful and responsive A special shout out for the wonderful lady who furnished the hot breakfast in the mornings

She was so attentive, warm and friendly! Most we’ve ever experienced! The rooms were spacious and clean We had a total of 5 rooms across our large party Some of the rooms were better (more updated) than others, but everyone said they would rate this hotel at least a 4 Gave them a 5 because of the excellent staff With a little more updating to such things as carpets and blinds, this hotel would definitely be first class

Overall it was an okay hotel Very quiet and nice location Unfortunately I did have some issues

I checked in after a long day and my room had blood stained sheets on the bed That’s a big no-no for me or anyone I would imagine I did call and get them replaced Bathroom was a bit dirty, I’ve been in worse and I was too tired to deal with it I do wish they had complimentary breakfast though They do make you buy it if you want it There is an IHOP down the street so I just went there It does have on site laundry so that’s nice An okay stay Could’ve been better

Service was great, but breakfast not included We stayed on second floor Room #206 and window did not have security stopper (opened all the way), AC worked unproperly (would not stop at certain temperature ) so instead we preferred opening windows That specific window is facing pool area and in this case might be attractive to climb on for small children or pets

Not here to complain but to suggest to be cautious

Nice hotel, I got at a discounted price because I was with a group Everything was great until I came back to my room to find BED BUGS not one but a few A lady came in and confirmed that they were in fact bed bugs

After insinuating if the bed bugs might have been mine The hotel switched my room, in the moment, the stress and anxiety I felt at 12am made me never want to come back to this hotel again, I couldn’t even sleep well in the other room in fear that they had traveled or was in the new room Also the new room’s bathroom had a TERRIBLE smell Yea nice hotel I just wouldn’t go back regardless discount or not

I had originally booked a different hotel because it was cheaper, but cancelled when I read their reviews I’m so glad I booked a room here for my family trip of 4 nights! The room was huge and clean We walked 20 minutes to a nice park and beach our first night

The proximity to I-5 made traveling everywhere very convenient Staff was friendly and helpful Housekeeping checked in every morning with fresh towels and coffee pods Breakfast offered a variety of foods each day and staff managed replenishment really well when it got busy The hotel was family friendly with lots of kids My kids enjoyed playing in the pool The location felt safe and everything was just really easy!

Dusty Sparks

My stay was great! The hotel was nicer than I expected Millie, the housekeeper is super kind and friendly Give her a raise, she deserves it! I don’t know if there are employees that live on site, but it appeared so, and they were hanging out around the pool area drinking alcohol and being loud about 9pm

The next day when I went to use the pool at 11am they had left their beer caps and other garbage by the tables That being said, a great hotel for the price!

Leanne Gislason

I stayed here for the Oceanside Ironman 703 The breakfast staff went above and beyond to feed everyone and keep everything well stocked while being super friendly

The room was basic but clean and we didn’t notice bugs or mold The reason for 1 star is David, the front desk agent who was working when we arrived after a long day of travel from Canada He was rude, condescending, and creepy He made claims that part of our reservation process would get another staff member fired (a worker approved a room change over the phone prior to us getting there) and mocked us for being surprised about that He insinuated that we ripped the hotel off by booking through a third party travel site Travelling as two women, this was pretty uncomfortable and we avoided him the rest of the trip, double locking our doors Ew, David

I got married nearby and every time we had to stay somewhere to plan we stayed here! It is such a clean resort with friendly staff The breakfast was the only upsetting part, there was almost nothing to eat or drink The rooms were perfect and accommodated both bridal parties in their own suites

They were very understanding about keeping the parties separated, which we appreciated

Bill Delmer

The staff was excellent but the rooms were just ok, the cooking gear was old and scratched, I was not comfortable using it The breakfast however was simply awful I stay in these types of properties a lot and I checked in assuming I would get a decent breakfast but it was totally not up to the standards that this brand usually provides

Most mornings it’s just breakfast sandwiches, there were mornings where it was even less than that Once in a great while there would be little omelets, but maybe once per week Staff 5 stars, facilities 3 stars, breakfast 1 star and that’s generous I would not stay there again

Monina Buchongo

Short stay and WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN! I found a $400 charge by residence inn on my account I called to inquire about the charge and was accused of stealing pots, pans, and dishes I never got a call of investigation however, I was told by the person who answered the phone that the manager left a voicemail for me

Upon checking my voicemail, there was no message from anyone at the residence inn in San Marcos This is unacceptable and unprofessional This facility has no checks and balances for room inventory and when asked about it there was no solution Their products aren’t even mediocre, they’re cheap and of poor quality No thank you! DO NOT STAY HERE!

Front desk personnel did not immediately acknowledge our arrival even when there were 3 of them just chatting and we are the only people in front of them We arrived at past 3PM expecting that our room would be ready but were told to wait for their call It took more than 30 minutes until they told us our room is available

This is not to mention that I have a Diamond level status which were not even acknowledged at this hotel No offer of room upgrade, no free breakfast, no offer of bottled water nor points And parking is not even free Around 7PM, I went back to the front desk to request for a 2PM late check out next day but I was told to return back to the front desk at 6AM with a condescending tone Went back to the front desk at 6AM as instructed only to be denied and no alternative offered other than being told that they are fully booked On a positive note, the hotel is clean which should be base standard especially for a 4 star hotel I expected this to be a memorable birthday celebration for myself but it gave us a not so good experience Definitely not returning back to this property and now rethinking my future relationship with the Hilton brand

Melody Marshall

Our room was not ready until 5:00 pm!!! We are Diamond members and we’re told ‘even the manager had to come in to work on a Monday!’ Once in the room the safe had no working parts and the refrigerator was frozen and had to be replaced We went to the lobby for a non existent breakfast of only coffee and pastries

When we asked if they had a plate for the pastries we were told no The bar tables were filthy with food and drink spills When we ask for a rag to clean a table we were told there weren’t any and offered a baby wipe to clean it ourselves The front staff was just standing at the desks and could have at least cleaned the tables And why didn’t the bar staff clean them at night We were told the marketplace is never stocked by the resort hotel There isn’t a breakfast associated with being a Diamond member, no upgrades, no water, no Hilton benefits at all We were also told there are no upgrades at the Tapestry for Diamond members if you booked the room on points, we have never been told this at other Tapestry hotels The rooms are clean and the hotel is an easy walk to Legoland, but what makes this a Hilton property is beyond me This hotel is grossly understaffed

Brian Yamashita

I’m sure your experience will be better than mine and the end of my trip was good but the beginning was a rough one We had the thermostat go out om day one and it was broken the rest of the first day and second day As you might be able to imagine in the summer with kids and no air and nothing they can do it was a bad night

If I was staying a week it might have been fine but night to and day 3 we all sleep and made the vacation with the kids a bit of a loss when it came to taking them to lego land for only 2 hours day 2 because of how tiered they were

Very clean and safe property, staff was welcoming and genuinely interested in making sure we were comfortable and had everything that we needed The 24 hr coffee service in the lobby was a great perk as well Beds were very comfortable, we had plenty of towels and toiletries, lots of TV stations, and breakfast was filling and well maintained

Didn’t use pool and hot tub, though it looked nice The fitness room is small but had what I needed We definitely will stay here next time we’re in town Thank you Hampton Inn staff!

Krystyn Nichole

The only reason why I wasn’t able to give this place 5 stars is because they don’t have a pantry So no place to get water or allergy medicine or anything else one might need Luckily though across the street is a shell so that’s good

The breakfast is small but it’s fresh and delicious The housekeeping really cleans your rooms the throughly which is good Plus the front desk agent with the pink hair is amazing she just made my stay so great She has awesome customer service skills and you can come to her about anything and she will help you out I would definitely stay again and recommend to my family just because of her

Brett Kleinhans

My stay at Hampton Inn in San Marcos was very pleasant We where in town for a HS competition so many places where getting booked up Price for 2 queen bed room was under $200 a night

Facilities where clean and welcoming Pool was great The free breakfast was above par compared to other hotels Plenty of space to sit and eat with your family Very deserving 5 stars

What a great family hotel! Our family of 6 adults and 1 baby booked a two night stay at this hotel Our room was 2 bedrooms with 3 beds plus a pullout sofa Kitchen had a fridge and microwave

It was spacious and clean The hotel also serves a wonderful breakfast buffet with hot and cold foods Their spread was impressive Front desk was friendly and efficient Ample free parking The location was just okay, in more of a business/industrial area However, there are still lots of places to eat within a 5-15 minute drive I’m happy with the value of this hotel as it has great amenities and services

Krystal

The room was very niceLoved the fact that it had a kitchenette and a fridge with freezer!Wish the pool was open later Wasn’t able to utilize it with what was going on, but it looks nice!Loved the fact that it had a basketball court!Free breakfast was good

The potatoes were a little cold even at its warmest Fruit was good Waffles were really good

Excellent experience I was a little dubious going into the hotel as it was our first time with status on IHG properties, but the treated us super well and upgraded us as we checked in The upgrade was a large full suite with several bedrooms

The kitchen is top notch, but the bathroom has a little to be desired of (small toilet, outdated shower with the shower rod coming off the wall) Other than that the bed was large and very comfortable for both of us For close to $400 a night that is to be expected during the peak season Glad we stopped by to give this place a stay Will definitely be back on our way to San DiegoEdit: Breakfast was a mess No hand sanitizer anywhere (not even in the elevators) and tons of kids running around touching everything It was average breakfast food you would expect Nothing special Learned that this hotel was close to Lego Land so it is most likely the reason for the traffic
