Absolutely everything. Especially such little details as really good quality hand soap and body wash, cold water with lemon, coffee and tea in the lobby. The pool zone was absolutely awesome and well maintained. Rooms are almost brand new and spotless.

    I live in the region. Carlsbad the city was not the issue.

    I live in the region. Carlsbad the city was not the issue. It was Studio 6 that was disappointing. The advertisement on booking.com for this facility is inaccurate, downright wrong. When was the last time anyone from booking.com actually visited the property?Booking.com reputation is based on reviews from customers that use your services. Please, I implore you to have someone visit this property. This property is not a good representation of the city and of booking.com.

    Calsbad is a quaint village with walkable night life restaurants and bars. Only north Carlsbad has limited beach access due to houses built on the bluff, the majority of the town, everything south of Carlsbad Village Dr and north of Cannon Rd is unobstructed public access. South Carlsbad has several good surfing spots, and don't forget about Legoland.

    Loved that restaurants, shopping. and the beach are within walking distance. From the Tamarack Beach Resort, we were able to walk to the Daily News for breakfast, the Harbor Cafe for lunch, and have dinner at the hotel adjacent Dini’s. Enjoyed the beautiful plants and flowers that thrive in Carlsbad.

    Carlsbad is a fantastic location, especially for those looking for budget-friendly accommodations. I found some cheaper hotels that are conveniently close to LEGOLAND and the Carlsbad Premium Outlets, making it a perfect spot for a quick getaway. The area offers a nice balance of attractions and amenities, so it’s ideal for a one-night stay. Whether you're visiting with family or just passing through, you’ll find everything you need nearby without breaking the bank. Overall, I recommend this area for anyone looking for a quick trip!

    It's mostly an upscale suburban community.

    It's mostly an upscale suburban community. Lots of nice grocery stores and other shopping. I was there because my Sister and Niece live there. When I'm visiting with my wife, we like Oceanside. In some ways it's better for tourists. But it does not have the great grocery and other stores that Carlsbad has.

    We stayed here for one night then came back a week later to stay for 14 days. Loved the hotel, staff fabulous and friendly. Always happy to help. Rooms were so clean and beds were amazing. Housekeeping was every other day which was good for us. Area was quiet but we had a car so it was ok. Laundry room was so handy to use.

    The room faced a bad orientation, facing the parking lot. The soundproofing was poor. This is an older hotel, and perhaps due to its age, the cleanliness seemed a bit lacking, but this didn't detract from my experience. I understand this is inevitable for an older hotel.

    Great location but was treated like shit and it's a disgrace because Carlsbad is my hometown. It's crazy how the worker was getting mad at me because he couldn't explain or provide the location or proof of deposit fee that wasn't added on my reservation. Disgrace.
