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!

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!

Beautiful location with views of the golf course from most every room The service is top notch: very friendly and willing to helpThe little shop is insane with the markups on basic essentials, but I guess if you don’t want to leave the property, you pay the exorbitant convenience price

But come on, $6 bucks for one can of domestic beer is insane

Donald Taylor

Spent 20k on a three day company outing Room was awful Stains all over the furniture

No iron in the room Beds are rock hard Staff was not helpful I was told I would get a text when my room was ready Three hours later no text so I checked at the front desk and they said it was ready they just didn’t text me What a waste of time and money I’m glad it was my company’s money We will not be spending our money here next year when we come back to San Diego I really wish I could give this place less than 1 starRequested an iron so I could iron my dinner clothes because apparently this hotel only gives an ironing board with no iron, and it took them over an hour to get me one I had to skip dinner with everyone because of this This hotel is absolutely garbage There has to be better places than this dump in the area

Crystal Lintan

After a day of relaxing at the spa with my sisters, it was finally time to check in to our hotel room We decided last minute that it was would be fun if we were able to stay an extra night and maybe even bring the kids to the pool the next day We checked in with Dede at the front desk to see if they had any availability and if we could even upgrade our room

DEDE was the absolute highlight of the weekend! She made it happen and we were able to upgrade our room to a Villa I highly recommend staying in a Villa if you have kids Lots of space for everyone to enjoy their time The service was incredible everywhere we went Thank you to Bobby at Bar Traza for accommodating us! However, the real MVP award goes to DEDE!!!

Eric Woodcock

The room itself was quite nice, spacious, and well appointed We were only staying for one night, so didn’t really get to take advantage of the rest of the resort, but that aspect of the hotel also seemed quite niceLosing two stars because it was IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of the front desk when calling before our stay

The automated phone system is entirely broken, with several choices leading you directly back to the main menu We were trying to request an early check-in, as we had to be in San Diego at a very specific time After calling SIX times, we finally found a loophole by navigating the phone system to inquiries about timeshares, and then asking to be transferred to the front desk After briefly speaking to them, we were inadvertently transferred to some other desk, who had no idea how to help usWe arrived half an hour past the normal check in (since we had given up on the idea of an early check in) and were told our room was still not ready After explaining to the front desk that we absolutely needed to drop our stuff off right now and continue on to San Diego, they were wonderful and accommodated usPlease, please fix your phones Would have been a 5 star experience without that headache, and as it stands I cannot recommend this place purely on horrible lack of communication

Adan Verduzco

This resort was very nice! I didn’t get to spend time in the pools or restaurants as I was there for business That being said the rooms were like a nice condo and very modern and clean

bathroom were on point and very up-to-date I definitely stay here again my only thing was that they don’t clean the room every day but that’s just me

Sundays with Sunny

Nice, clean room, friendly front desk, but they could really be more responsive to room service needs My friends and I requested an extra comforter since 11pm, and I was still waiting for it at 2am I called the front desk 4+ times, and each time I was told that it would be delivered soon

The resort is comfortably spacious, but I really don’t believe that it takes 3hrs to pick up and deliver a comforter…

Had to relocate to this resort late at night due to a water issue at previous hotel Hunter, the evening manager, helped my coworker and I check in, gave us very useful info, and even stayed over an hour past his scheduled time to help get my boss checked in who was running late Hunter went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of

Resort is very clean and nice Rooms are huge Staff and service is unmatched

daniel Proo

From the minute my wife and I came in Hunter in the front desk, Hunter was respectful and has sense of urgency to create a good customer service experience, I’ve gone to many hotels/resorts and never have I been greeted like Hunter has, his attitude is always positive and always had a solution to my stay These past 2 years have been a challenge specially for the service industry, Hunter is a advocate to the meaning of the service! This place is clean and will recommend to anyone that want to be treated like guest

Nemo Omen

They say they serve Starbucks coffee but no one but one person new how to brew coffee so I have wait until that one person came back to serve me Ridiculous I stood in front of coffee bar for 5 minutes and the bar tenders are just talking away

Also when I checked in the lobby lady said she was going to upgrade me to a bigger room but I had to wait two hours! After driving five hours I’m not going wait 2 more hours after my check in hour!! Hotel is beautiful, but staff are lazy and ignorant!! Probably not returning for a bad first impression! Would rather pay extra money for the resort on legoland! Very disappointed as a Sheraton regular customer

Jeff Sanchez

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

Yul Gash

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

Tiara Jay

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

Kate Carlson

Lovely resort We really enjoyed the pool The family area spa is a little cooler than I would like as an adult, but it was lovely for the kids to be able to enjoy it (and there is an adult pool/spa available area as well)

The room/suite in Villa D was perfect for our family of 4, with a very spacious kitchen and living area and a wonderfully comfortable King sized bed in a separate bedroom Easy walk to Legoland and beautiful view over the flower fields and of the ocean The guest policies were very accommodating, including allowing us to stay and use the pool and resort amenities after checkout, and parking was valid till the end of day as well We’d definitely like to stay here again

Melissa Forsberg

Great place to stay for family The rooms are large and clean It has a regular size kitchen if you want to make your own meals with all the utensils you’ll need

There’s also grills available on the grounds Staff was friendly and welcoming There’s separate pool areas where kids can play and swim Another for adults to relax and it has beautiful surroundings We would definitely go back again

Marco Ortiz

Really great family hotel! This place is great for families, the full kitchen makes everything much easier if you are traveling with kids We were able to store all the essentials for our 3, and 1 year old The room was extremely clean and they even provided a pack n play for our 1 year old

The furniture is a bit outdated but is in really great condition Overall the customer service was great but can improve in some aspects I would definitely stay here again We were able to walk to Legoland, it took us about 8 minutes There is no bell service or Valet, so it’s a bit of a bummer There are 2 hotels in the same building The desk for this one is on the right when you walk in and the Hilton on the left The bar was also very convenient, and Karl Strauss is also on the property We will definitely stay here again

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

Nice resort Every room has a view towards the water Parking underground seems fairly safe

Employees are courteous If you’re coming here, you know you’re getting a sales pitch You can’t avoid that part For me That’s the worst part But once you get past that everything is very nice Pool is large jacuzzi’s large kids Splash pool is fun too

trathom49

Our stay was a gift from a friend, and what a nice gift it was! The resort was beautiful, the room was spotless and well appointed, and the staff extremely friendly and accommodating There were lots of amenities, like a pool, gym and basketball court The ocean view was glorious and there was a lovely balcony to enjoy it from

Wish we could have stayed longer!

Nathan Osborne

Parking was fantastic You can keep one car in their garage under the building Then across the road there is a HUGE parking lot that has free parking

The outside and pool areas along with the clubhouse were incredible Rooms seemed a little bit dirty and outdated Paint peeling on some of the walls Didn’t feel like the room was cleaned well before we checked in It just felt a little gross touching thingsThe walk to the beach was about 11 minutes and you can walk through a cool little harbor on the way there

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

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)

Such an amazing hotel Apparently a brand new build and it’s got a great beach vibe, almost reminds me of MiamiThe rooms are immaculate and well appointed with everything you would need staying for a night or beach weekend! The pool deck is phenomenal it’s right on the strip walking distance to the beach

You can get beach chairs too!The hotel was kid friendly but I would stay across the street at their sister property Mission Pacific The restaurants were great too, brunch looked delicious at Piper but we went across the street to High Low and man it was on pointThanks to Elijah and Sarah for taking great care of us So nice to have a great hotel like this 30 min from San Diego for a get away

federica barone

Great experience I was welcomed with a warm touch and that made me feel at home but with lots of additional attentions Great place for couple as you can enjoy a beautiful Romantic sunset on the ocean from the suggestive rooftop terrace

Music there embrace you with a private atmosphere Breakfast is delicious Rooms very comfortable as well as the bed but the best thing overall, if you chose to stay to the front ocean view rooms, is that you can wake up immersed in the pink light of dawn that colors the sea and the palms with golden reflections! Absolutely a remarkable stay

Chad Rea

Stayed 2 nights in a King partial view and on the 3rd night upgraded to a Grand Ocean Suite The property is gorgeous, the lobby is stunning, you can tell a lot of thought went into the light, cozy, chic look The valet was attentive, even explaining options to self park if you did not choose to valet (there’s a $5 paid lot adjacent to the hotel)

Front desk agent was welcoming and attentive, despite being a fairly new hotel the staff felt like seasoned pros On the last day my wife took the kids to the beach (less than 5 min walk) and the staff brought beach chairs, towels, and sand toys for them to play with (don’t forget to request these prior to coming down from your room, we didn’t know that)Rooms were beautiful, the view of the Oceanside shoreline was perfect You can also get a good view of the house on Tom Cruise’s house on Top Gun (currently undergoing renovations) The rainfall shower heads is always one of my favorite things in hotel rooms Patio seating was surprisingly comfortable My favorite thing about this hotel is the focus on sustainability, they provide you with your own refillable water bottles, the lights are all on motion sensors (including the hotel hallways) which also eliminates another touch pointThe wife did try out the Spa, which is co-ed and on the small side She really enjoyed the massage, although the price is quite high (close to or more expensive than the nearby 5-star Park Hyatt spa) If we did not have a property credit to negate most of the cost, not sure if she would have paid full priceBreakfast at Piper was good,All in all, relaxing stay Can’t thank the staff here enough for the 5 star service

I booked a last minute getaway and decided to stay at this location not knowing what to expect I checked in for two nights on 7/14/22 and the front desk agent was very kind and respectful All staff were very kind throughout my stay and very hardworking

I had a kitchenette room that I absolutely LOVED and felt very comfortable in The room was very clean, organized, and had all the essentials I really liked all that this hotel had to offer, including the pool area There was plenty of parking and easy access to the freeway Breakfast was nice too Overall, I had a very pleasant stay THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It was so beautiful The bathrooms were massive and gorgeous We had the Sunday buffet

The crab legs were divine The bacon was crispy They had waffles and a cheese bar We spent time by the pool It’s very chic The drinks were pretty standard for a 5 star You can see the beautiful views while soaking up the sun Sipping on margaritas in the pool They have gabanas you can rent Take me back to paradise We will be back The staff were super helpful

This provides everything you expect from a high end resort Loved that there were separate adult and family pools Our pool cabana service was excellent

The only oddity was the location When I think Southern California resort, I think of the beach This is not by a beach but rather by a Swamp? Wetland if you want a euphemism? Would have preferred to get some sand between my toes

We stayed here during the second week of summer break but surprisingly it’s not crowded Such a beautiful resort Recently renovated

Spacious lawn with sights of wild rabbits for the kids to run around All the staff is very nice to us and to our kids Provided free bottled water in metal cans to support small business during check-in We stayed here with our 7yr old and 25 yr old to explore San Diego with plans to visit Legoland, Safari Zoo and Sesame Place Just 15 min drive from LegolandI didn’t expect this spa and golf resort to be very kids-friendly (except the two water slides) The biggest surprise and special call-out is during the first room service on day 2, the housekeeping team automatically provided us with a diaper pail and stepping stool! We used special dirty diaper trash bags and the wooden trash can upside down as the stool as our travel hacks when we stayed at hotels and resorts including the fancy ones This is the first time we got offered the two items It’s always the small touches that matter Thanks for making the life of two exhausted parents slightly easier!

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

Best kept secret in Carlsbad!On a 30 day business trip with little time off and took the shuttle to the beach It was beautiful, I heard a little history on the way to and from, and was pampered like royalty!Staff was informative, helpful and friendly Room was very nice and having the option to eat on property is always a benefit for me!The outdoor space was great with a pool & jacuzzi that is not found in many new hotels these days

Corn hole, ping pong, and many other outdoor games for the kidsTwo minute walk to the beach was convenient, and the view from our room was breathtaking!Hope to bring the family back on vacation

Sheila Smith

Front Desk Staff was very nice The hotel is very dog friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, the grounds were beautiful plus there were lots of activities to choose from when hanging around outside Loved all the seating areas they had in their courtyard and around the grounds

I would have given 5 stars for my rating, however the restaurant service was not good It took the staff at the restaurant at least 10 min to acknowledge us or anyone else standing there , the tables were not cleared off and the service was a little slow

Jocelyn Ly

This hotel is was amazing from the location to the friendly staff It is literally walking distance from a beautiful beach They had beach chairs and toys for us to use

The rooms were remodeled and clean It included a mini fridge and microwave which was a plus!When we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly front desk staff They kept our luggage for us since our room wasn’t ready We were headed to Legoland and wanted to keep our luggage safeThey have a grab and go convenient store in the main lobby They also had a bar and restaurant for guests which is convenient if you don’t want to leave your hotel Breakfast buffet was offered for a feeThe pool was big and heated which was perfect for night swimming The jacuzzi was also very warm and relaxingOverall, I would definitely be returning in the future due to the friendly experience we had!Thank you Hilton Garden staff for an amazing stay!

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

Try resort activities Wonderful way to meet new kids, make friends, and learn new skills Enjoy your vacation in sunny Southern California

Hand dryers would be wonderful to save environment and minimize wastes to the landfills Alternatives to the disposable shampoo, body wash, and lotions would certainly align with the global intuitive to save Earth by minimizing the plastic products we use every day

Aubrey Staples

Wonderful resort! You cannot go wrong picking this hotel It had activities for kids and adults Rooms were very clean, great beach access (only have to walk across one road that has a cross walk), staff is friendly, and the grounds are beautiful

It also has a nice gym, so you don’t have to worry about skipping your workouts The covered/garaged parking was also very nice It’s only about an easy 10 minutes from the more “downtown” area I highly recommend this resort!

Tyrone Stein

Carlsbad Seapointe Resort is a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy southern California It is in a great location with exceptional views The Staff is very welcoming and helpful

I especially want to thank Trevor for his great social skill and making this place feel like home for the few days we stayed there He seem like someone that should be in management We are definitely planning to visit this location again

Nice place, good service! A special shout-out to one of their employees, Kadijah, who helped me switch into a room with a bathtub instead of a shower stall after my lower back was hurting from driving for 6 hours non-stop She was very kind and empathetic, as was their entire staff during my 3-night stay Clean facilities, great location, pretty good breakfast though it could use more healthy options

Rooms are very comfortable, and you can’t hear any outside noise and won’t be disrupted by your neighbors Plus, you can see the ocean from your window! I would definitely stay here again

William Cutler

Becoming here since 2010 A lot of business and nights here Never a bad stay till now

Use to feel like home but not this time Front desk personnel aren’t overly rude but they aren’t welcoming or inviting either Check-in was a good indicator of how poor customer service is here As far as my room Half the lights don’t work, a/c is loud and no food on site beyond breakfast Not sure who is running this place but I do miss Geoffrey IHG this use to be an amazing location Not anymore True review from a longtime IHG Member

Princess B

My husband and I stayed here last month and again this weekend This time we stayed in a king suite and the room was so spacious and comfortable The staff was so friendly

I can’t remember her name but I think it started with a B, she check us in and we were talking about both of us being from the Los Angeles area She was so sweet My only complaint is other hotel guest that were at the pool coming through the lobby soaking wet and dripping all over the the floor and elevator and making it dangerous for other guest

Location is great and the amenities are nice, the room layout is really well designed The pool is a great place to hang out, and being right across the street from the beach you can easily go back and forth Underground parking on site was convenient

I think the coolest part was the patio on the seventh floor that is a great place to watch the sunset

Stefanie Ziller

We are having a wonderful family vacation here, staying 5 nights! The room is fantastic, 2 bed, 2 bath with ocean view! At an affordable price Minus 1 star because checkin is at 3pm, but we had to wait in the lobby for 15 hrs with 2 anxious kiddos, bc I guess our room wasn’t ready

Met some other guests who were also delayed But once we got in, it’s been great! They don’t tidy rooms, or replenish stuff, but I will ask for a couple shampoos tomorrow and see how it goes! Also, The pool is nice! Overall, can’t beat this room and location

Nathan Mackintosh

Very very nice rooms, basically a small apartment They have a trash service sorta, you go into this room and put your trash then the trash guy takes it The nicer rooms have kitchens and 2 bed and 2 bath

Service is great and they have 2 level parking underground only issue is that there are 2 halves of building and somtimes you have to remember which wing your room is in They have a VERY nice pool and hot tub and a gathering room (ping pong and Tv) They have conference centers and it’s pretty nice
