Top Carlsbad Museum & Art Center Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was extremely helpful however while we are in our room, it did not appear that the carpet was vacuumed. That was the only thing with the cleanliness. Other than that everything was great. Our air conditioner was being weird and the front desk girl came up immediately to help us remedy the problem."

Hampton Inn & Suites Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had to leave a night early due to a family issue and the management was willing to cancel without penalty. The building was nice and our room was clean. However it was undergoing construction, which is the only reason I gave it a four on overall appearance. I would definitely recommend this location."
