"We had a great stay! The hotel was clean, the accommodations were comfortable, and it was perfect for our family. It shares a courtyard with the Holiday Inn, where the kids had plenty to do: Connect Four, darts, miniature golf, and even a basketball they could check out. The pool was clean and inviting, and the bar and restaurant were open in the evenings from 5 to 10 p.m. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!"

Top Craftsmanship Museum Hotel Reviews

Home2 Suites by Hilton Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"There were ants in the bathroom and it took 2 requests to have anything done. Kind of gross."

Staybridge Suites Carlsbad by IHG

10/10 Excellent

Hampton Inn Carlsbad-North San Diego County

8/10 Good

"Just ok. Probably would choose another option next time. One of the elevators not working, made for long waits and the stairs were far far away. Appreciate the little gym, but absolutely no breakfast bar. Decent restaurant/bar across the parking lot, probably the highlight ... live music. Appeared to be some nefarious activity going on. It didn't feel unsafe, but they weren't very good at hiding it."

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"We had yet another great stay at the Omni La Costa! I do think they need to give the resort rooms a deep clean. This was the 3rd stay where it wasn't super clean with a bit mold in the shower. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of."

Newly remodeled 2-bedroom in perfect location

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and private. Good outdoor space. Good communication"

Spacious Poolside Oasis - Right Next to Beach and Legoland

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, good communication, as advertised, and close to everything we were doing. Nice area. Thanks for the great stay. I’d definitely come back."
