Best hotel in Carlsbad!
Pros:

It was my first time staying at the Courtyard Marriott in Carlsbad, but I will definitely be back. I stay in a lot of Marriott hotels for work and am a Gold elite member. I was really impressed by this hotel. When I arrived, the lobby was nice and cool, which was so nice because it was in the 90s outside. Ady checked me in, and she was very sweet and wanted to make sure my accommodations were as I like. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and had a contagious smile. Once I got to my room, I noticed the room layout was a little different to maximize space which I enjoyed. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds. I have slept on in a long time at a hotel. The room was clean, quiet, smelled fresh and had great water pressure in the shower. All the things you want a home away from home to have! I didn’t get a chance to check out the pool, but could see it was nice and clean from my room! It fit within my budget as well, so that’s always a plus! I will definitely be booking this room again when I have work in the area.

Quiet, Convenient, and Fantastic Service!
Pros:

5/5 stars! My husband and I had a wonderful staycation here. The location is the best of both worlds: quiet and relaxing, but incredibly close to local restaurants and the beach. The staff really went above and beyond—everyone was super welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. We will definitely be back again!

Sunshine, hospitality and priceless family memories!
Pros:

Appreciated the clean, tidy and spacious room with a convenient small fridge. The bathroom was spacious and housekeeping promptly provided extra clean towels when needed. Staff were super courteous and attentive. Every time we were near the lobby we were always greeted. And, the barista Allen, was super awesome and friendly. Thank you Allan for making our specialty coffees deliciously perfect! You all made our family trip to Lego land, to celebrate our 4 year old grandson's birthday, extra special. Glad we stood here!

Cons:

Wish our stay could have been longer.
