The hotel was very clean. The only issue is the bedrooms were a little small and there is no house keeping every day. So you will have to make up your bed and take out your own trash. House keeping on 2nd or 3rd day of stay so basically when you check out. Th e food was outstanding and they have many selections for all types of eaters. I just wished they had actual creamers not syrups. Either way I will be staying there again if going that route in our vacation again. Front desk are very nice and helpful. The pool was very clean and jacuzzi was very nice also. Over all a great hotel stay.

LEIThe rooms are very large and clean. The pool is divided into adults and children. The children must go to the children's pool every day. There is a great beer house restaurant at the entrance of the hotel. You can solve the problem by visiting Legoland. Outlet is less than 5 minutes drive from the hotel, recommend the Grand Pacific Hotel to Legoland, walk no more than 10 minutes

Perfect location in downtown Carlsbad. An easy walk to anything you may possibly need.
The Jacuzzi unfortunately, was not heating properly when we were there, so was not able to enjoy.
The pool is in the front of the Resort next to a very popular restaurant. It’s not very quiet and not relaxing to set at.  they have a beautiful green lawn that overlooks the ocean with lots of lounging chairs that is decently, quiet and relaxing.
The elevator is slow and old, and I preferred to use the stairs.
 the king size bed was very comfortable to sleep in.
We enjoyed having a little kitchen that we were able to keep leftover food in and reheat .

Was woken up early in the morning by the alarm and asked the counter staff what happened? It is said that there is a family trip of mainland Chinese in the room smoking in the room 🚬 causing the fire alarm to sound for 30 minutes, and the fire truck has arrived. *** Continentals travel around the world to smoke, depressed, and the quality education of mainlanders is too bad.

程This place is very suitable for bringing children. It is very close to Legoland and the outlet is opposite. The parking lot is very large, and travel around is also very convenient. It’s not far from the beach, but you have to drive. The breakfast is average. There is no good Chinese food around. You can get pizza at noon. At night, the three of us drove out for 20 minutes to eat.

pleasant surprise! The room was more like a full one-bedroom apartment — spacious, clean, and super comfortable.
The pool and hot tub were both well-maintained and relaxing — a great way to unwind.
The only downside is that the hotel is located right next to the highway, so it can get a bit loud when you open the door.
Still, it’s a great value for the price and definitely worth the stay overall

The rooms where clean and smelled fresh. All the basic needs. Mini fridge was cold and ready, the microwave was clean and the coffee was ready to be made will definitely stay there again

Guest UserMaybe we shouldn’t expect too much considering the cost. I booked this location because it was close to Legoland, which was its upside. I had booked for 3 nights but we stayed only one night in the end because I wanted my family to feel more comfortable rather than having to be tolerant. The thing that did it for me was that I found hair in one of the towels. I had to find a different place for the other 2 nights and I didn’t even bother asking for refunds.
