As every parent knows, traveling with young children isn’t easy. Finding a reliable place to stay with child-friendly amenities is among the most significant obstacles. This hotel did everything it could to provide a safe environment and keep the kids occupied. In addition, they offered excellent breakfast free of charge. We spent one day in Lego land, on a nearby beach, and at Safari Park. My 6-year-old and I had a blast for 3 days and the best Thanksgiving holiday!! Many modern healthy eating...

The absolute QUIETEST hotel we have EVER stayed in, and the place was full of kids! Same exit as LegoLand so we expected kids and it to be loud. We stayed for an entire week and never heard anything! Occasionally hear the train, but was muffled. Staff was incredibly friendly, and I mean all of them! Even just passing in the hallways or elevators, they would great you and smile. Just not what we expected. Pool heater was not working, but the weather permitted cooler water anyway. Beach was just a...

- The hot breakfast (which I didn't know it was included in mine) was awesome. They had egg-based meal, cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, bread, orange juice, and more (and yes, everything was hot and delicious) - Parking (self-covered) will be just $10, which I think is a really reasonable price. - The place is quiet and safe. In front of the place there are two gas stations; both walkable. I arrived at the hotel late and went there like 10PM but never felt unsafe. - The staffs were extremely...

Wonderful location directly across from beach access and the Carlsbad village. Service was awesome! They made our experience special and stress free, especially having young children. They provided all of the beach amenities we could ask for, including towels, toys, chairs, umbrellas. The grounds of the property really made the stay extra special. It’s meticulously maintained with a Hawaiian vibe. You very much feel like you’ve been transported to the islands. Can’t wait to come back!
