Great bang for your buck! Clean and comfortable with a great breakfast. Far exceeded our expectations. Rooms are on the smaller side and stuffy when we walked in, but once we turned in the air it was very pleasant. We will be back.

Within 10 min walk to the beach, 10 minute drive to Carlsbad village and 5 minute away from the outlets. It was convenient for our purpose of visit. Breakfast options are nice (they had biscuits with gravy and egg with cheese omelette), plus the standard continental breakfast. Our room was on the smaller side but still good. Overall, a nice stay!
