Top North Beach Hotel Reviews

Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines

10/10 Excellent

"clean room, comfortable beds, and courteous staff."

Ayres Hotel Vista Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this property was excellent EXCEPT the parking. We got in late one night and there was no parking available. Luckily someone left but not before we had to wait almost 20 minutes. It was past midnight and we were very tired so that wasn’t great. Even with that though we’d still go back"

LEGOLAND California Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our check-in experience was okay. We tried using the kiosk, but it wasn’t very reliable. We received a text around 3:30 PM saying our room was ready and arrived a little after 4 PM. The staff was helpful, and they weren’t sure why the kiosks seem to always have issues. Once checked in, we received our room keys and headed to our Wizard-themed room. Overall, the room was clean, but the dusting could definitely be improved. The carpet also needs a good shampoo our socks were filthy after walking around on it. Everything else in the room was fine, and the texting service was excellent. They responded very quickly whenever we had questions. The biggest disappointment was the breakfast. It wasn’t great and was extremely crowded, which made the experience less enjoyable. Despite those issues, we had a good overall stay and would definitely stay again!"
