La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

10/10 Excellent

"The roadside sounds was too much"

Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA - Near Legoland

8/10 Good

"No hair of any kind in room. Coffee in lobby was not available at anytime, put small coffeepot in room, just bolt down coffee maker n give each overniter a caraff when they check in. I brought my own coffee , but!!!. Would have enjoyed a chair in room, withlevated beds its rough to but on socks!!! Light by bed did not work nor did outlet to recharge phone, had to use plug in bathroom. Small table near sink for toiletries!!"

Sonesta ES Suites Carmel Mountain – San Diego

8/10 Good

"Vrey convenient place to stay for the money. Spacious and very comfortable room for the most part. Currently, I have a mobility handicap and I booked a room here that was listed as "accessible". When I got there I was told that no accessible rooms were available (and I was checking in early). Further, I was told that the accessible rooms are sold out well in advance to "long term residents" . That's understandable but then these rooms should not be made available on the website. This is misleading. Not purely intentional but misleading nonetheless. I would have made other arrangements had I known."
