Lakehouse Resort

10/10 Excellent

"😃"

Ayres Hotel Vista Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was very comfortable & we loved the views. The staff were all happy & helpful. The breakfast with made to order omelets & large selection of fresh fruits, cereals, waffles & more was excellent. We will definitely return. Thank you!"

Staybridge Suites Carlsbad by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The hotel was clean, the accommodations were comfortable, and it was perfect for our family. It shares a courtyard with the Holiday Inn, where the kids had plenty to do: Connect Four, darts, miniature golf, and even a basketball they could check out. The pool was clean and inviting, and the bar and restaurant were open in the evenings from 5 to 10 p.m. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!"

Hampton Inn San Marcos, CA

8/10 Good

"All the chairs in the lobby and the room are not clean and stained"

Hyatt Place San Diego/Vista-Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean."

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"We had yet another great stay at the Omni La Costa! I do think they need to give the resort rooms a deep clean. This was the 3rd stay where it wasn't super clean with a bit mold in the shower. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of."

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego North San Marcos

10/10 Excellent

"This property is exceptional they even keep notes from previous bookings so they could remember you when you visit again. It was my kids birthday and they even gave him a toy and asked him about his plans for his birthday celebration my kid turned 6 and he's already asking when we will be staying there again. Breakfast is great and the staff is great. Will be booking this place from now on."

Two Estates w/ Pools, Hot Tub, Game Rooms, Views & Tennis Court Near Wineries

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a great stay and a very nice property. The rooms are big, the views spectacular, the kitchen(s) fully stocked with dishes, flatware and cookware for 40. Lots of spaces for people to hang out and easy walk from one property to the other (we rented both). The feeling is grand but a little worn, making it elegant but very comfortable. The one hiccup was with pool heating - be sure you know what the ambient temperature of the pool is before requesting (and paying for ) heating. Communication is also a bit of an issue - there's Bob, the owner (very responsive and helpful, but not really "on call"), the AvantStay representative (very responsive but limited in what she can do decision wise), the AvantStay 800 number (also easy to access, polite and courteous and eager to help, but don't make decisions - they pass it up "the chain" and get back to you) and the final level behind the curtain where the decisions are made and passed down but with whom the renter cannot communicate directly. We had several situations where this was not a problem - for example, the AC didn't work upstairs in one of the houses when we arrived and it was replaced the next morning. But when it came to heating the pool it led to miscommunication and a lot of frustration. Fortunately, they eventually understood and resolved the issue fully. with that one caveat, I would recommend the place totally."
