Top Craftsmanship Museum Hotel Reviews

Ayres Hotel Vista Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"great staff...great location and room."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"We were initially assigned a room on the first floor. The room was clean, but the sofa bed was worn out and squeaked loudly whenever we moved, so we didn’t get a good night’s sleep. I asked the front desk if we could move to another room. They said yes, but since they were fully booked that night, they could only move us the next day. The next day, they moved us to the third floor, where the room and bed were much better than the ones on the first floor. Generally, our stay was pleasant and the front desk people were all polite and courteous."
