Good breakfast and fitness center
The breakfast was good and fitness center had nice room. It is along the highway so there is noise, but I enjoy that.

Quick Stay
The room was spacious and the bedding was pretty comfortable. There were two dead spiders on the floor and the condition of the shower looked like there was water damage around the corners. The breakfast had a lot of variety.

Great place
The last few years when I come out to Carlsbad to catch up with family and friends, I stay at the Best Western. It’s a great location, has breakfast included (hot at that) and good service. Also, I’m a recycler-so very impressed at how eco friendly they are! Very much recommend staying here!!

Very nice property close to the beach. Staff was friendly! Only thing was it got steamy in the room when someone was showering but having the window open was a good option to air it out.
