Mar 24, 2025 I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. Upon entering, the ambiance was beautiful, and the interior design was impressive. However, the moment we stepped into our room, we noticed a strong, unpleasant smell.
Since we checked in late, around 10 PM, we immediately called the front desk to report a foul odor coming from the bathroom. As we looked around, we realized that while the room appeared organized, it was covered in dust—the console table, TV stand, lamp, bedside table, and even the drinking glasses had clearly not been cleaned for a long time.
When we went to the front desk to complain, their response was completely unacceptable. The staff simply said, “You guys will check out tomorrow, right?” When I confirmed, they told me, “We are 93% fully booked, so we cannot give you another room.” I was shocked and furious, especially since we paid $445 for just one night and were given a dirty, poorly maintained room.
After pushing for a resolution, they said they would send someone to clean and change the bedsheets. However, when we returned an hour later, all they had done was spray air freshener—the dust was still there, and the bedsheets and pillowcases had not been changed. We knew for sure because we had marked them beforehand to check.
To make things worse, the night shift staff were rude and dismissive, showing zero concern for guests. If zero stars were an option, I would definitely give it. Avoid this hotel at all costs!

Mar 26, 2025 Celebrated Our 1yr Wedding Anniversary ! Staff was great! Jennifer at the front desk was great! We did a couples massage at the Spa. Kat was great as well. Ordered room service from 20 Twenty restaurant everything was scrumptious! We will definitely be back for the summer to jump in the pool!

Feb 2, 2025 It's a nice and expensive hotel. The beds are pretty comfortable, the grounds are well-maintained (you might even find them beautiful if you like straight lines). The pillows and blankets are terrible (which I think is a Federal requirement for US hotels). It's a very expensive place to hang your hat. I would have been just as comfortable sleeping in my truck, but my wife and kid likes the amenities. You make the call...

Feb 5, 2025 This spa, if you could call it that, was very disappointing. It's extremely small. The pool & hot tub area is the same one guests staying at the Westin use. A truly great spa has its own pool & hot tub for guests of spa only. Their offerings are quite minimal. My husband and I had a couple's massage - the room was cold & the music was too loud. The massage was just average. We also had a polish done. For some reason, it couldn't be done in the same room together. Again rooms were cold & music too loud. My husband said his was good, but not memorable. Mine was awful - Skylar was awful. She was loud, only used one hand, and I could hear her throwing towels on the floor. Very unprofessional. We will definitely not be returning.

Feb 25, 2025 I’ve stayed at his hotel and the Sheraton Carlsbad next door for a total of a couple of months over the last year and a half. This time the room and service was extremely dissatisfactory.
As always it’s impossible to reach their sales team to secure longer term stays, so I made a reservation hoping to be assisted upon arrival; however the staff didn’t seem trained or know how to handle this request. They just gave me the number to the voicemail of a sales office and said they would relay the message. Two evenings later, still no call.
The rooms usually are clean, but let me tell you that this wasn’t the case this time. We were greeted by a lovely shit smell that wafted out of the bathroom. Clearly someone had been in our room right before we checked. Now the horrifying part is that they must never vacuum around or behind the beds. I suffer from severe allergies and asthma and keep needing to take Benadryl about thirty minutes after arriving to my room at night. When trying to plug in my phone I realized that behind the beds there were collections of dust mites and used tissues from previous guest. Beyond disgusted by this but more frustrated that my body wad having health reactions to this. I wanted to make this my go to hotel in Carlsbad but I don’t think I will after this stay.
