Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort

great family vacation spot near the beach and more Great Location 1 block from the beach. Patio/courtyard is nice to hang out. pool is a bit small for the size of the resort. lots of kids so you need to be prepared for what comes with that. nice restaurants nearby and great to have free parking at a resort for once. 7 out of 10. Nice amenities for family vacations.

We absolutely loved our stay! Beach access, beach toys the hotel provided everything was fantastic!

The property location was great, close to the beach and restaurants. The property itself could use some upgrading as it’s a bit dated. The area around the jacuzzi is a beautiful spot; however, it has glass all around it that was filthy and took away from enjoying the view. We likely had the worst view in the whole hotel. Our balcony looked onto the wall of the next building. They offer beach chairs, umbrellas, and body boards by the beach which was nice since we forgot our own beach chairs. We used the free bikes to ride around town. They were very old without any gears so be prepared for a workout. The check-in/check-out situation was a mess with people everywhere. All in all we give the resort a 3/5. The place has great potential if they put a little money in it for an upgrade.

Carlsbad Inn is great. We noticed this time around a lot of focus on time share folks. Cleanliness seemed a little lax from last time. Example: same empty plastic water cup on a table that we passed a few times. Pretty strict on bike rentals (you need a drivers license) so teenage sons didn’t love that. Towels were also not convenient to get. Rooms did not get housekeeping everyday. We love this place though… great pool, open area, walk to beach and cool spots for food, farmers market, coffee, etc.

The location is convenient. We were finally given our keys at 4:20pm and arrived to find the cleaning staff still in there. I asked to put our perishables into the fridge and they were not done until 5pm. We waited outside the room with luggage for 40 minutes. The resort was replacing tvs so elevators were not available and we had made two trips to carry our luggage up three flights of stairs. Even though we weren't in our room from 10 to almost 5pm everyday, housekeeping never serviced our room. It is not an inexpensive place to stay so I expected better.

Spent one night while visiting family. Relaxed in the pool and hot tub. Easy access to beach down some steps. Able to borrow beach toys and chairs from the hotel kiosk at the bottom of the stairs. Great visit.
