West Inn & Suites, hotel in Carlsbad

This Carlsbad, California hotel is 2 miles from Legoland. This hotel features a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi in every room.

The jacuzzi but it worked intermittently. Pool was not heated. The bed was very high and I had to use a step stool and a very heavy chair to crawl into the bed. This hurt my knees. No staff welcomed us or smiled. The breakfast was terrible. Not real eggs (think it was colored tofu) and people didn’t like the breakfast. Very sub standard and charging for a resort fee was in my opinion fraudulent. Location poor. All flowers shown in photos were faux flowers . The bathroom super low toilet seat. This facility should be downgraded and inspected by booking.com and they told me not to use Booking.com to make reservations! Key card to room worked intermittently and WiFi was very poor. No service other than check-in. No help with baggage , no concierge, nothing but a depressing place.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    Amazing location right on the beach. Amenities were fantastic. We had an enormous room with a huge patio overlooking the ocean. Fridge and microwave were also nice to have. Free continental breakfast and they offered free dinner one night as well. They have a great restaurant as well! We really enjoyed listening to the sound of the crashing waves at night.

    We loved staying at the Legoland Hotel. They had so many activities lined up for the kids! I loved how we can cross over to the Castle Hotel and have my toddler play in their playground. It was so nice to be able to relax and let my kids play while I sat and watched them. My 3 year old really enjoyed the dance party at night also!

    Great location across from the beach. Restaurant is pricey but very good. The pool is very kid friendly. You can walk to the beach across the street but it’s not a beach you can layout on it’s too rocky. You need to head north or south a little more maybe a 5 min drive. This hotel was only 11 min from Legoland.
