Good except smelly AC.
The hotel was really good, although you have to pay for park. The only other bad thong was the AC smelled awful. It needs to be refurbished. The pool was heated and the jacuzzi was nic.e

10 min from legoland
Checked in late, customer service was awsome. Very friendly and very informative of the area. Room was big and very clean. Big fluffy pillows which was awsome, that helped us get some sleep. Hot breakfast buffet in the morning! We stayed at 4 different hotels this trip and this was the best by far. 20/10, would stay here again in a heartbeat. Gonna actually start looking for holiday inns wherever i go.

Connie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
