This place is wonderful! Quiet and very comfortable. Rooms are spacious and it’s super close and walking distance to many restaurants and the village. Alfredo is very friendly and nice! He does a great job taking care of everything and made us feel like we were right at home.

Good location. It was humid and hot with no AC in the room. I got bug bites since i had to leave windows open all nights. But everything else was good.

This was a great property for the money and is exceptional value. Comfortable, cosy and only a short walk to central Carlsbad. Slight issue with getting the door code from the booking company but the manager was a great help, would definitely stay again.

I loved loved the property! What an amazing GEM! I was hesitant at first not knowing the area BUT what a wonderful surprise! The gentleman at the property was so kind and helpful! The room was absolutely PERFECT! Quiet area! The beach was right there! Down the street is the Village Area. I can't speak highly enough about the property! What a wonderful experience.

Pacific Room: Large room, big bathroom with extra amenities like a fireplace, whirlpool, ceiling fan & plenty of ocean decor. The value is very good & worth every penny. There are some small imperfections like the shower is smallish & two of the jacuzzi jets are too high up, but everything else has better than expected. It’s not modern for (like) teenager’s taste, but for middle aged adults & up, it feels like home.

Perfect location to beach, shopping and dining. Check in was easy with number lock on door… they sent code the day prior. Very cozy, felt like I was staying at a beach house instead of cookie-cutter hotel. Parking was easy and on site. I would definitely stay there again.
