Property was being renovated when we stayed there, but we still enjoyed our stay. It’s close to Legoland and has a good variety of food options nearby.
Amazing hotel , spacious rooms ,friendly staff , lots of space and relaxing areas for you to sit down and for your children to play . Next to a shopping center , couldn't have asked for a better experience. Oh and it was less than 10 min from Legoland

Our tv didn't work, sink didn't drain, sliding door was stuck, lamp didn't work. And the worst was that the AC was out for hours. The location is good but for the price it wasn't worth it.

The hotel is in a great location, with easy access to the outlets and plenty of restaurants. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of our room was disappointing. There was sand throughout the floor, and we found hair in both the sink and shower.
This was not the level of cleanliness I would expect from a Marriott hotel. Given the brand’s reputation, I expected much better.
Beds are comfortable. Amenities are minimal and the body wash in the shower was empty. Exercise room was closed which was a drag. Room was clean but there were mosquitoes in the room!

The hotel was somewhat disappointing in that it was shown to be a Marriott Bonvoy so I assumed it would be more like a typical Marriott. I was shocked that it was an older two story motel with all rooms opening to an outside hallway. Although the room was basic and decently nice having been recently redone there were no suitcase-luggage holders and no place to put your bag except on the floor which is extremely awkward and hard to use. When I asked for a luggage rack I was told they had been discarded and not replaced. The pool was attractively shaped and heated. The breakfast attempted to be nice but the day we tried it they seemed to be running out of many of the items being served.
Cool place to stay had a cool full food Hall attached to it the room when we got there was not clean. I asked them to clean it several times they never really did. The floor was filthy with hair on it. There was hair in the sink and hair in the shower good location.
We loved our stay! The room was huge! We were very happy that the fold out bed could accommodate our son who came to visit us. Our view from our room was beautiful.
I love how the location is close to everything we need. The room was super clean and the area was super quiet. the staffs are very helpful and friendly.
The room and area were clean. However, there were some things that needed to be fixed and maintained in the room. The toilet paper holder was barely hanging on to the wall. The staff kept the grounds and pool area well clean and maintained. They were all very friendly and kind. Enjoyed the close location to the food hall. The breakfast could have more options, especially for food allergies.

Our stay was to satisfaction, we enjoyed the pool and the food hall. Our room was not that clean especially the floors we had food and dirt all around and the showers shampoo and soap were empty. Very convenient for legoland and beach since close by.

It says hotel but it’s motel, the pool was very old n dirty. Fly n mosquitoes was in my room i couldn’t sleep all night.
Very pleasantly surprised. I live in Carlsbad so it was a staycation. Everything was great but not exceptional. The beds need to be replaced. It was lumpy and uncomfortable
