    Pros +

    • Love everything about this hotel! We stayed here last year and will stay again next year! Relaxing after a day at Legoland. Optional pools to swim at. Can’t say enough compliments about this place!!!
    • Close to the GIA and Legoland
    • Convieniently located next to Legoland with private entrance. Spacious rooms and relaxing pool area.

    Cons -

    • The room was old, with noticeable damage that had been sloppily repaired only to fall apart again. The walls were so thin, we could hear EVERYTHING going on in the room right next to ours. The parking was awful. I couldn't park next to my room.
    • The Cove is not separate from the kid pool! The hotel is mainly set up for families! The Cove was short staffed pool side. They had 1 server for the area!
    • Thin walls Loud plumbing Can hear other guests above

    Good texting communication throughout my stay. Location is great for both business travelers in the area and also families visiting Legoland and other local attractions. Room was large, great bed and pillows! I liked that there was both a shower and a tub/shower in the bathroom.

    A little confusing on getting to the check-in area versus the actual lodging buildings.

    10JardellPosted on: 4-5-2025

    Loved the location and amenities of the property. Also loved the close and private access to Legoland theme park.

    Asked for more towels and they never came.

    Very accessible to the freeway and surrounding towns. Easy parking. Staff was very friendly and the room was comfortable

    Everything.The venue was spotlas and well looked after and respected by caretakers.I have been in .any time shares but this one was exceptionally well managed.Staff were accomodating and restuarants were well prepared with beautiful and delicious foods . The out side seating was complimented by the glorious sunsets every evening.Pools were fantastic and spacious and the food from the bar and grill was tasty and quickly prepared.A very pleasant experience.

    All was well.

    Fantastic resort that is spacious and extreemly well supported with excellent facilities.I visited with my family and granchildren and we had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.Several local restaurants provided outstanding food choices that were all delicious and served with elegance and style.

    Relaxing poolside in the SoCal sun. 7 Mile restaurant and bar was a favourite. Fitness centre was well appointed. In general the relaxed vibe around the resort made it a great stay.

    Racket in the 20twenty bar. Not the resorts fault I guess. Had to chase for room service, but they sorted it promptly. Not a lot of negatives in this chilled SoCal resort.

    The interactions we had with all of the staff was truly always positive. The customer service was impeccable. They were professional, always had a smile on their face and were always willing to help anyone in need. Congratulations to your team for a job well done in customer service!!

    Convenient in Carlsbad, nice garden property. Staff was very nice, drove me to the room in a cart.

    Long walk across a big road to get to the pool. Downstairs unit (no elevator) didn’t get much light.

    The main part of the hotel ("The Cove") is directly next to Legoland -- very convenient for visiting the park.

    DO NOT BOOK this hotel, at least not through Booking.com -- We were traveling as a group of 5 moms & 5 small kids, and requested 3 adjacent rooms when booking. I also called the hotel after booking to make sure they saw the request for adjacent rooms.When we arrived, they had booked us in rooms in entirely different "neighborhoods" that required a shuttle to get between (or a long-ish walk -- part of which was along a busy road -- w/ little kids in tow). The staff basically just said "oh yeah next time book directly with the hotel so you can pick out your rooms; we don't do that for 3rd party sites." We would have never stayed at this hotel if we had known we'd be super far apart -- it was a HUGE bummer and added a lot of unnecessary logistics to the trip (shleping small kids across the property just so we could hang out as a group).

    This hotel is about 4 miles out of Carlsbad, so don’t book it to be local to the amenities without having to drive. It was clean and kept well but that was about it.

    The front desk advised me that it cost $30 A NIGHT to park at the hotel which seems unbelievable. It’s a resort that is off street and there is literally a parking spot for each room. I questioned this and the clerk confirmed. Anyhow I later found my booking on booking .com where I had already paid the parking free in the booking. How did the hotel not already know this if they took the booking. I went straight down at checkout and informed the new clerk that I wanted the account creditors. Which he did straight away. Check out at this hotel is 10am, which seem ludicrous.

    Huge 1 bd rm apt. Nice pools

    You have to pay to park, which seems ridiculous. Should be included for the price you pay

    8VaishnavPosted on: 3-12-2024

    Great location if you are visiting Legoland. The hotel gives you access to the back entrance of legoland which with some planning helps cover major rides before the crowd from the general entrance makes its way. The area has some nice resorts. The lobby and common area was clean and very well maintained. The room has microwave, cups and basic silverware which was very helpful.

    The room was just okay. Very basic. I think its fine if you are using it just for sleeping and spending most of the day outside. My two main complains -1. There is no restaurant in the hotel. For coffee and breakfast we had to drive 10 min to a nearby starbucks.2. The rooms are not cleaned everyday. Room cleaning service is only offered after 4/5 nights. We stayed for two nights and were running out of fresh towels. Would have been difficult if we had stayed for even an additional night.
