"We had our wedding party stay at this location. We were all over the place and taking up the lounge area in the lobby a lot. Everyone was very kind to all of us. The largest suite they had was perfect for my getting ready bridal crew. Every staff member smiled and treated all of my crew very kindly. Thank you! "

Hyatt Place San Diego/Vista-Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"While a bit far away from the freeway, this meant that the hotel was quiet (no noise from roads, etc.) and tucked away. We enjoyed the amenities of the room (couch, generous desk, microwave, and mini-fridge) and appreciate the energy-saving aspect too. The hotel's breakfast buffet offered something for everyone and staff were courteous and helpful. Would stay again! "
