Top LEGOLAND® California Hotel Reviews

The Cassara Carlsbad, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Great property, disappointing to have to pay for parking. Breakfast Buffet is a bit disorderly"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Spotlessly clean, very large 1 bedroom suite, ok breakfast food was kind of cold and not very many healthy options but that’s just personal preference. My kids liked it. Pool was nice as well."

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Balcony rooms have beautiful sunset views. Chandler restaurant doesn't have very good service but food is good."

Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach

8/10 Good

"Location is fantastic! Ocean directly across the road with a gorgeous sunset vantage point. Nice walking trail area along the bluffs. Easy drive (10 minutes) to Carlsbad village with many restaurant choices. The on site restaurant was undergoing renovation so choices and ambiance in the ballroom alternative were not that appealing, but we brought food for breakfast and snacks and planned to eat out in the village otherwise anyway. The room was quiet and temperature controls worked fantastically. Bed was comfortable. A couple of oddities were that trash baskets in the room did not have liners, so we used the dry cleaner bags because of the food containers we brought. The shower was great and had nice liquid shampoo,.conditioner and body gel but the had soap for the sink was the smallest thing I’ve ever seen…about the size of a quarter and almost as thin. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. Hallways had a bit of a mildew smell not noticeable in the room."

Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the Westin Carlsbad while attending a wedding there. The location was convenient, the staff was very accommodating, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We did have a minor issue with the AC, but it wouldn’t deter us from staying here again. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!"

Grand Pacific Palisades

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for families"
