"We stayed at the hotel for 4 days with 2 kids. The hotel was spacious and very relaxing. The pools and waterslides were the main attraction! It was a short ride to downtown Carlsbad or Encinitas which offer great dining options. The beaches were also a short ride from the hotel which made for a fun visit! I would say the service was good but not great. The resort was packed on Saturday and the pool area was very busy and they didn’t fully open the restaurant or waterslides until 11am. We...

Holiday Inn Carlsbad by IHG

Holiday Inn Carlsbad by IHG

8/10 Good
"The reception staff was very friendly and was easy checking in. Room was very clean, no smell and very comfortable. When asking for amenities the staff was promptly responsive. We ordered from the restaurant, was not disappointed, was delicious. Nice pool area and basket ball court. Great place for kids to hang out. Negatives: if you get a room near the stairs you will hear people walling up and down (all night long). The bathroom shower door was not easy to open did not slide smooth and made a loud noise. Forgot watching TV on down time, very poor selection."
