TIPTOP RESTAURANT WAS DEFINATELY THE "BEST" EATING LOCATION IN CARLSBAD AND THE SURROUNDING AREA! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO AWAY HUNGRY, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. QUALITY, PRICE, TASTE AND VARIETY! THE BEACHES IN THE AREA ARE VERY NICE AS WELL. VERY CLEAN, WITH MOSTLY WHITE SAND. THE WATER IS A LITTLE CHILLY RIGHT NOW FOR MY LIKING BUT THAT'S WHAT WET SUITS ARE FOR! THE NICE THING I HAVE FOUND IS THAT "MOST" OF THE TIME THE BEACHES ARE RELATIVELY NOT BUSY. CHECK THEM OUT FOR YOURSELF AND I THINK YOU WILL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. BASICALLY, THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY TO DO IN CARLSBAD. JUST WALK AROUND THE VILLAGE SHOP AREA WHERE YOU CAN FIND SOME REALLY NEAT UNIQUE GIFT IDEA'S. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE IS THE" VILLAGE ROCK SHOP" WHERE YOU CAN FIND ALL KINDS OF NEAT THINGS FROM CHRYSTAL'S , RARE ROCKS, NECKLACES, STRESS ROCKS, BRACELETS, EARRINGS AND MORE. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED AT "THE VILLAGE ROCK SHOP". I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND VISITING CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA WHEN YOUR IN THE AREA. THERE IS A LOT TO SEE AND DO. CARLSBAD ROCKS!!!Haney - 8.0Scored 8.0

while Carlsbad is a lovely city to see, we did not have enough time to walk around, drive around. We were there for a specific reason, and that took all of our time. From what I heard the flower gardens are suppose to be gorgeous.LeeUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

Carlsbad is a quaint small town that is worthy of one-day’s exploration. The greater Carlsbad, including the beaches, flower fields and activities off downtown area can probably filled another couple days’ time. However, I probably will become bored if spending more than three days in the area.

It is a sleepy town where most of the restaurants and bars shutdown by 10:30 - 11:30 or earlier even on the weekends. If you want entertainment or nightlife you have to leave the area and head to towns to the north or south. The big attraction is the beach and some of the boutique restaurants and shops.

The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first:
The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first: - The rooms are dirty and in disrepair. My shower turned into a bath. - The freeway is loud, so you hear cars all night - The shuttle only starts at 9:30am and runs every 20 minutes. Need to call at 7am to get on the calendar. 11 people to a shuttle. - Breakfast options are very slim which means you need to venture out to feed yourself. The market next door isn't geared towards breakfast, leaving you starbucks. The good: - The location is only 4-5 minute drive to Legoland. Super fast and easy. We decided to forgo the shuttle and just park at the park early (avoid traffic) and eat at a Legoland hotel. Just need to reserve spot on open table night before. - The pool is nice. Kids loved it. - Great air conditioning in the room. Overall, I would rather just pay a little extra and stay at Legoland if you are going to go to Legoland. If you aren't going to Legoland, I don't know why you would stay at this hotel at all. The hotel goes for a hard value play, but it is a 2 star hotel at best for me.

Well, Summertime is very busy.
Well, Summertime is very busy. Good for finding places to eat. Not so good finding beaches to sit on. Or finding Dog Beaches. Hard to find parking for the beach. Got to get there early. Warm weather inland made for humid weather at the coast. Windmill Food Hall was a great place to eat. As was Benihana and The Green Dragon. Primo Pizza was good too. Beaches were crowded and expect to pay for parking there. If you have one good day at the beach consider yourself lucky.LuAnnUnited States of America

- From $284.51 per night7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 1,650 reviewsThe location was awesome. Across the road from an outlet, the flower fields and some amazing places to eat. Only a short shuttle drive (free from the hotel) to Legoland which was the main reason for our visit. They also offer a free shuttle into Carlsbad Village. The pool area was lovely even though it was cooler during our stay. Our room was quiet and a decent size. I liked how our back door opened directly into the pool area on the ground floor. The beds were also comfortable. The self-service laundry was an added bonus too.
CassandraAustralia - From $531.61 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 401 reviewsYou obviously can't beat the location--it's DIRECTLY across the street from the ocean, North Ponto Beach and eventually South Carlsbad State Beach. You are also about 1-2 miles from Carlsbad Village and all it has to offer and other popular attractions like Legoland. The room itself was on par with other Hilton Garden Inn properties--reasonable size--extras like a mini fridge & microwave. The were even nice enough to give me a room with a "peek-a-boo view" of the ocean at no additional charge.

- From $95.34 per night6.2Scored 6.2PleasantRated pleasant· 1,133 reviewsThe location is handy and very attractive with palm trees all around. It is close to the beach, as promised, but the walk is a bit busy on higher traffic roads to get there. The hotel is close to a Ralph's grocery store and other shops which is really nice. There is a pool, but no hot tub if you are looking for this.ClaudiaCanada
